यो त अति भयो

From Nepalnews:

Unified CPN (Maoist) lawmaker Ram Kumar Sharma on Wednesday tendered his resignation from the post of Constituent Assembly member and lawmaker.... TMLP initiated action against Sharma after he registered a formal complaint with the CA Chair Subash Nemwang against the alleged threat from an Indian embassy official.

Several points come out of this news:

1. Prachanda asked for the resignation of the MP. After getting his letter rejected by the Indian Embassy I think Prachanda has decided to take a step back and quench this issue. Probably he got a threat from the Indian Embassy too? Will all our political parties lack a spine? Is this what 10,000 Nepalese gave their life for??

2. The Terai party, TMLP, insist on expelling the MP out. One year back when MP Sharma quit TMLP and joined Maoists the terai party didn't care. But as soon as he pointed his finger towards India, they came to their matrubhumi's defense? Is TMLP really a Nepali party? Why do we even tolerate them?

3. Why isn't this a big news? A Nepali MP gets death threat from a foreign embassy. Next day he gets sacked by his own country's parliamentary stature. While the MP's claim is not verified, isn't investigating the matter the right thing to do rather than expelling the victim??
