Nepal loves monarchy.


Nepal is one more example of India's neighboring countries not being happy. After coming from monarchy to democracy, now the youth of this country has started agitating to go to monarchy again. There is also a community that wants to re-establish it as a Hindu nation. On the one hand, Nepal's government system is traveling around the world for the corona vaccine, on the other hand, there is a lot of opposition and fierce anger among the citizens on the current law and order. According to the order of the Supreme Court of Nepal, after the appointment of Sher Bahadur Deuba as the Prime Minister, the people of Nepal are expecting that the helm of the country will be settled in an orderly manner. A month ago, when the second wave of Corona was killing Nepal, the country was number one in the world in infection cases. That is, he was even ahead of India. Now the second wave has eased.

The Supreme Court of Nepal recently ordered the Lower House of Parliament to remain intact. He also directed that Nepali Congress leader Sher Bahadur Deuba be appointed as Prime Minister. This is the second occasion in five months that the Supreme Court has termed the President's decision to dissolve the lower house of Parliament as unparliamentary. A situation in which the President appoints a person as the Prime Minister is not normal in any parliamentary democracy, but given the situation Nepal is going through, this intervention of the Judiciary is not ideal but necessary. Nepal's political journey in the last decade and a half since its transition from monarchy to democracy has been bumpy. China, which has the dirty intention of communicating behind the scenes and has caged some politicians by giving seeds, is digging the grave of their motherland by dancing to make China dance.

The whole decade before democracy started in Nepal was wasted in infighting. After the end of the monarchy, Nepal continued to be plagued by political discord. e. S. In 2015, the new constitution came into effect. Accordingly, a new government was formed but it did not get political stability. The ruling political party's own innumerable differences kept it in the minority. The world knows this truth, but Nepali Prime Minister Oli was in no mood to accept this truth. On December 20, 2020, he demanded the dissolution of the lower house of parliament. In the end, President Vidyadevi Bhandari also accepted that demand. The opposition filed a petition against it, due to which the Supreme Court overturned the President's decision on February 23.

The result was that Oli's government could not get a vote of confidence in the House on May 10 when Parliament began its session. Interestingly, despite losing the vote of confidence, this government requested the President to dissolve the lower house of Parliament and the President readily accepted the request. So this decision was challenged in the Supreme Court. 146 Members of Parliament signed the petition of the Nepali Congress. With a total of 275 members in the lower house, there was no room for doubt about the majority, but Oli, in the form of caretaker prime minister, was engaged in election preparations. Before the court's decision, the Election Commission announced the election dates.

The situation at present is such that the Supreme Court has not given any chance to create any illusion related to the democracy of Nepal. He said that according to Article 76(5) of the Constitution, party does not matter when Parliament is voting to elect a new Prime Minister. This historic judgment of the Supreme Court not only put an end to possible future confusion by giving due importance to the Constitution, but also eased the way for Nepal to move forward on the path of parliamentary democracy. Let's hope that after this bitter experience, the activity of arbitrary and self-centered interpretation of the Constitution of Nepal will be curbed.
