The government's decision to hold
another CA election is jeopardized. Opposition parties are hiking pressure on
Dr. Bhattarai to quit, while the Maoist-led government seems determined to
continue.
While the nation is engulfed into
constitutional vacuum with no clear constitutional or legal way out. 'Partners'
of 12-point Delhi Agreement are now at odds on vital issues the country is
facing.
At this backdrop, there are only
two alternatives, one is to choose violence to further devastate the nation (preliminary
signs of violence have already been smelt); and another is a peaceful means.
In case the present political
players choose a peaceful path, there can be two means which will be legitimate,
based on 'democratic norms and values.'
Creating an environment for generating
a 'political legitimacy' with broader national consensus is one remedy for the current
political impasse.
The next alternative is to revive
the 1990 constitution, which will be a means of 'continuation of legitimacy.'
An analysis of current political
deadlock and projections for the days ahead is done is a radio talk show.
