The constitutional Gameplay

“Not only people of Nepal but also those who believe in the power of democracy are looking at Nepal and this Assembly. The world that believes in democracy is looking for Nepal’s constituent assembly, to the leaders sitting here,” is the exact translation of what the honorable prime minister of India, Mr. Narendra Damodas Modi, mesmerized during his eloquent speech on the 3^Rd of August. The students got it, the people got it, but what made the people wonder is that, the group of conspiracy wizards commonly addressed as the people’s representatives, to whom the speech was actually addressed to, did not understand it all.
What the Nepalese just witnessed, in the constituent assembly on the night of the 21^st Of this month, is something that was never ever expected in the land of peace, the birth place of Lord Buddha, in our country Nepal. It was the last thing that any citizen of a country would expect from the leaders that the chose to lead their country. That was in fact an act of the uncivilized; I would not call them people, an act of prejudice.  Politicians, the actual role models of our country, are doing their duty or are they not? Politics, is it defined as it should be?
It's been 4 years since the election, but the constitution has not been drafted yet. There was a sense of pride in the air, the 10^th From the April, 2008, the day of the election, the first ever constituent assembly election with the aim to secure the future of the country.  The citizens with all of their faith on the people to represent themselves voted them to the chair, giving them two whole years, a total of 730 days to draft a constitution of the country. We all know what happened then, don’t we? We were betrayed by the same people for whom our valuable votes were cast upon. And then there was an extension, the extension of two years; we did not have an option, did we? The parties were in dispute, then and are now in dispute.  A conclusion could not be made and the assembly was dissolved.
A wise person has once said, “Mistakes and failures are just the proofs of trying.” It is true. But this failure became the cause thousands of sinking hearts.  It was decided to elect the members for the constituent assembly again. People with a hint of hopes, took all the trouble of casting their votes again. Millions of rupees were spent all over again.  People had to vote as they did what they had to. The election was conducted yet the job has not been done. Every citizen has been outraged with anger and no wonder they were wrong again in identifying the right people. Parties have been in dispute with each other continuously over the past 4 years. But this Sunday, an outrageous scene was created in the assembly, the politician’s fighting like the stray dogs down in our street. I had been one month since Modi gave the blistering speech in the assembly, but even the great words of Modi went to no avail.
Keeping these things apart, is not it that the Nepalese is known across the globe for their loyalty, for their patriotism, for being responsible and giving everything they can complete their tasks? But it is not all about the election.  It is all about being responsible about your work and being loyal to your country. If it is not the leaders that are to be responsible then who is it? If it is not the leaders to be the role models, then who is it? If it is not the members of the constituent assembly to draft the constitution then who is it? It is known for a fact that one who hires should share every return and loss. So is it actually our fault that we were unable to recognize the actual qualified leaders? Think people, ask yourselves and answer them. And all the very best to identify the capable candidates, if you get to vote again.
