Crisis in Nepal: Vice-President blames Prez, PM for crisis

Vice President Paramandand Jha has accused the president and prime minister for the current on-going crisis in the country. VP Jha accused prime minister of ignoring the cabinet, in sacking CoAS, who was later reinstated by the president. He said both the president and prime minister committed the mistakes in the Katwal issue. Jha also accused the political parties of being involved in power games rather than concentrating on the constitution drafting process. He stressed on the need for parties to move ahead with consensus for the long-lasting peace rather than conflict. (Source: THT)

Our Perspective:
President should always be a ceremonial, when there is an elected prime minister ruling the country. He should not have interfered with the decision making process. But this will finally sort out the difference of power between the president and the governent. As always we would reiterate there should not be multiple power stations in a country.

But the actual problem lied somewhere else. Inability of defence minister Ram Bahadur Thapa to get full support of army chiefs, led to current problem. It was never going to be easy, but as a minister, it was his first task to get full support of the army chief, which he failed to do.
