Collegefoot and Patan, I have resorted to namecalling only after the other person did it first. You can peruse this thread and others and find out. Patan called me maobadi and in return I called him Sujata ko paltu. Tit for tat aka Eye for an Eye.
   Patan, I have requested participants in this thread to keep their judgement of character to themselves. Still you call me having a cheap mentality. My mentality and character has nothing to do with the topic in discussion. This topic is not about me. Let that be understood. I am not Maobadi's Attorney nor Sujata's so I can't defend all of their actions. I am just expressing my two cents on the topic that this thread pinpoints to - Ministerial decision to give presidential pardon to Dhungel. Collegefoot judged me as being conservative. But I think all my posts confirms my practicality in real life. Let's be adults and discuss like adults.
   Back to the topic, my question to Patan and others is: Do you question the legality of the ministerial decision to override Supreme Court decision and grant prestidential pardon to Dhungel? Has our constitution been violated in this case?Is Supreme court's decision alway final? Let it be clear that the question doesn't address the righteousness of the decision just its validity. Let's not get involved emotionally. I have put forward the questions clearly. Read word per word and come up with an answer. Let's not resort to mudslingling anymore.
  Khoik, yes law is not same for everyone( though as much as I wish it to be equal). That's the practical part of it. Though theoretically it claims equality for all. We live in a real world and it's not ideal. Yes presidential pardon is not meant for everyone. It is usually awarded to friends and family. It happens in the US too. The BIPPA thing, I think Baburam did the right thing by moving away from his stance. In the 40 points treaty, they did reject foreign investment. But when you are in the government, you know how it works. He may have concluded that FDI is vital to Nepal's economy. Well like any educated person, one should be able to adapt according to time and needs. In this case, I think he changed his stance for the better.
