Everytime a new political party or a coalition of political parties come to power in government in Nepal, it sermons about economic reform, education reform, legal reform, tax reform and the latest of it the army reform. You name it and we have it in Nepal–the reforms. But the ridicule of the reforms in Nepal is nobody dares and cares to talk about the ‘political party reforms’.
The latest insightful report the International Crisis Group (ICG) has released on Nepal titled ‘Nepal’s Future: In Whose hands?’, as a question, it hits the bull on the eye. It really is a million dollar question the future of Nepal is on whose hands? I like ICG reports as they are daring, insightful and balanced and do not leave any stone unturned as far as who is to do what is concerned…be it the government, political parties, the donors, diplomatic missions, I/NGOs, the Nepali geopolitical neigbours and any other game players in Nepal.
I leave it to you to make your own assessment of the ICG report on Nepal which you can access at: http://www.crisisgroup.org/home/index.cfm?id=6269&l=1. In the meanwhile I look forward to the day the political parties in Nepal and others who can influence the future of Nepal, besides of course the Nepali people themselves, make an effort towards ‘political party reforms’ in Nepal.
