I just felt dizzy when I read about the tragic death of 13 people yesterday by a drunk army man. I did not even feel like talking since yesterday. Naturally, we were all sad for the black day which shall always haunt us. But when I heard about the Nepal Bandh and ritos by the hooligans, obviously encouraged by the bigger thugs of the political parties, it made me feel even more sad. Simply put, it was disgusting. Trying to win political benefit from the dead? I never thought that the political parties in Nepal could act this recklessly and shamelessly. When everyone should have been trying to offer condolences to the family of the victims and when everyone should have been committed towards finding the facts, the political parties resorted to their old dirty tricks: Nepal closure by force. That too shedding crocodile tears. When UML broke up into Bamdev faction and Makune faction,Girija shed crocodile tears but it is well know among the political circle that he opened bottles of whishky to celebrate inside closed doors. Similarly, when Deuba broke Nepali congress, Makune and his followers shed crocodile tears in public while celebrating in privacy. I am not trying to compare the breaking up of the corrupt parties with the death of innocent Nepalese. The breaking up of the corrupts was welcomed by the public whereas the death has cast a dark cloud of sadness over all peace-loving people of the world. The point I am trying to drive home is that - seeing the action of the irresponsible political parties - this tragic incident was more of an opportunity for the political parties to create further chaos in the country. Aftre all, why would they care about deaths of 13 villagers in some corner of Kathmandu? For them, gaining political advantage is all that matters, no matter of how. The riot and forced closure of Kathmandu was a sign of deep disrespect the political parties have bestowed upon the dead.
