Citizenship rights

This, in my view, is an attempt to reciprocate the present laws to that of the panchayat regime. The regulations for the issuing of nationality (as well as passports and other documents) were changed and made easier after 1990. Although there have been some abuses of the changes (particularly in passports and driving licences), those ammendments have benefited most of the citizens. Now this administration, which is angry about many Nepalese being able to explore new horizons in the democratic era, wants to impose ugly legislations and thwart the progress of common Nepalese. Those who support the new regime may say hey this is a court decision. But make no mistake, our judiciary always acts on the interest of the rulers.These are signs that our country is being taken back to the tough old days of Panchayat, when Nepalses villagers had to wait for years and years just to get a citizenship certificate. This is just to much, Nepal is getting back to the dark old age and it's intriguing that people are silent. Common this is the 21st century.
