Sarita Thapa jee,
Thanks for your views. However, I must tell you that two wrongs can
never make a right. Having or not having democracy in any other
political organizations are something different from the internal
functioning of Kathmandu University. Moreover, democracy has political
connotations, which is better not used in case of any
performance-based organization like Kathmandu University.
What the employees of Kathmandu University are demanding is their rights to
association and rule of law in Kathmandu University.
However, the KU administration, under the aegis of Suresh Raj Sharma
and Sita Ram Adhikari, has been trying to
i) term the demand of the employees to recognize their association as
a legitimate entity within the Kathmandu University set-up as a
political ploy and
ii) defame the same demand as politicking by the employees
(iii) defame the righteous, honest and hard working employees as
involved in political parties and trying to do politics in KU.
(iv) compare KU directly with TU and put all the mess in TU on those
students organizations who have been actively pursuing the cause of
students while blindly ignoring the roles of administrators of TU
Along the these lines the propaganda machinery of KU administration is
active and they are employing their relatives living and working
abroad as well as those employees who have been able to accrue undue
benefits after accepting servitudes of Suresh Raj Sharma and Sitaram
Adhikary.
In their perspectives, they are saying that politicking would destroy
this pioneer organization as if they are the only ones who would be
affected by bad performance of KU. If KU suffers tomorrow and there
would be no tuition paying students in KU, the first casualty will of
course be the employees both the administrative and academic. Despite
knowing it very well, the employees in KU are demandin
that there should be respective associations. Their demand for having
associations is not for the purpose of dislodging Suresh Raj Sharma
and Sitaram Adhikary. By having these associations they want to
streamline current activities of Kathmandu University.
