What is your opinion on bulldozing of houses in Kathmandu?

I do not agree with the government stance on bulldozing public tax payers houses. The people were following the law and paying taxes on their houses. They even passed the houses before they built it with the government. Common law abiding citizens should not be punished.

The baburam government is out of line here unless they pay the affected people a fair market price of their property before clearing them.

People come up with logic that it will be better for traffic and think Baburam is doing a great service. But government should not be about bullying law abiding citizens to achieve their own goals.

"First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me."
