One line from a letter to editor in Kantipur (Friday) "यतिखेर र्सवसाधारण नागरिकमा चासो बढेको छ, लुम्बिनी ओभरसिजको दर्ता खारेजी हुनुमा रघुजीले मुद्दा हार्नुको झो"क त होइन - यतिखेर र्सवसाधारण नागरिकमा चासो बढेको छ, लुम्बिनी ओभरसिजको दर्ता खारेजी हुनुमा रघुजीले मुद्दा हार्नुको झो"क त होइन - " *** With 400-plus players, the 'manpower agency' market is very competitive in Nepal. It's one thing to have a court of law slap a fine on Lumbin or punish it by other means for doing illegal things so that a PRECEDENT based on the law is set. Such a precedent would help punish similar wrong-doers in future. But it's completely another when a Minister, in an apparent fit of anger given his recent history with Lumbini, oversteps his authority and cancels the registration of a private sector firm, no matter how 'khattam' that firm's actions are seen. On a conceptual note, details may vary, but how different is Mantri's this action from the King's dismissing the shreds of an elected government? You see, the trouble with allowing the use of power ARBITRARILY to those in authority in the name of "some greater public good" is NEVER good for both democracy and markets. Once you allow the use of such arbitrary power to be used, then, there's no stopping its reach to do greater harm in the name of "greater good." oohi ashu
