Finally I have reached the end of my list of 5 reasons why we should not have a constituent assembly election in Nepal right now. To recap, constituent assembly is entitled to draft the constitution of the country and that is a huge deal. It is the base upon which the future of the country is going to be shaped and it is not like they are going to redo it if they fail. Oh! Sorry, they did it last time!
So, here is final reason why we should not have a constituent assembly election in Nepal.
5. Baidhya's VS Anti-Baidhya's war
There is a group of politicians led by Mr. Mohan Baidhya. The man was a member of the last constituent assembly but resigned because he saw no way out. He then resigned his party and formed hi own group a couple of years later. Now, he is dissatisfied with the politicians and vows to disrupt the election.
That is outrageous. Even though I do not agree with democracy on micro level, in a macro level when someone decides to be a part of democracy, he or she should follow every process.. So, this guy and his group regardless of all the important issues they take on are trying to psychologically push the government into a corner. He and I might share the same idea of not doing an election right now but he agrees to be a part of it if the head of the government resigns his post as the head of Judiciary. Isn't that terrorizing?
On the other side, The leader of the government wants have all of his ducks on a row. He wants to head the government and the judiciary. There is no system of democracy where Judiciary is ever in the same bed as the Executive. This is the plain harassment of the people and the so called "Intellectuals" who propose democracy be established in our country without the knowledge that democracy is at risk even by the Judiciary.
Now the Baidhya's are at their stand and so is the government. This deadlock is not good because it fosters uncertainty and it decreases the credibility of election. So my suggestion is, do a regular election.
