I read news headline surfacing in Nepalese media about the proposed Dress code enforcement for civil servants and teachers. I really pity the authority of Nepal for their childish approach resulting such a stupid move. I have not been able to understand how this dress code is going to benefit the efficiency of civil servants and teachers .
Nepal’s so called peace process is in jeopardy, the Constituent assembly has so far been highly inefficient and unproductive since its inception. The primary goal of constituent assembly election seems to have lost in mist , the drama of so called big three parties of constituent Assembly has reached to climax and the people of Nepal who have been the biggest loser so far are left with their pain and agony. The Nepalese populations have been forced to witness the cheap and dirty politics of breaking and making of new government, the promises made during all the ANDOLANS are destined to be unfulfilled. At a time when people of Nepal have started to understand the chameleon character of their political representatives, here comes another controversial decision to divert their attention.
The recent decision to enforce a dress code in all the Government institution is bound to create further controversy and this will provide the political leaders to have some breathing time so that they would not be directly facing the questions relating to their incapability and inefficiency. The possibility of promulgation of new constitution is highly unlikely even with second extension of deadline. And as usual, these immoral politicians do not have any clear explanation for their repeated failures, I sense the decision to enforce this dress code is a part of strategic plan which will divert people’ attention from their failures. I am dead sure that there are many groups who will launch another round of struggle to oppose this forceful act by the government. I have not been able to understand , how Daura-suruwal or paint shirt represent Nepalipana ?? as far as my knowledge is concerned , daura-suruval is definitely not a dress typically wore by Nepalese mass rather it is a kind of imported dress from Indian state of Rajasthan, more precisely imported by shah dynasty which fled from Rajasthan and made their base in present day Gorkha of Nepal . And the coat being worn is definitely an English attire so how could this become national dress of Nepal?? This move of Government is undoubtedly a controversial move and the people of Terai would definitely oppose this because of a direct attack on their cultural values , the moment the terai group will go to agitation, the sole intention of inept politicians will be achieved.
Today, the nation is facing bigger challenges than the one forwarded by the Government. The promulgation of constitution is as essential as oxygen to a living organization. The corruption in all the machinery of Government has reached to the optimum level. There are Consumers group in every vdc and Municipality constituted by the goons of all the parties , and we all know how the functioning of all these consumers groups is ! A journalist is beaten almost to death, everybody knows who was behind that aghast act, but he hasn’t been arrested even after several weeks of the incident. These are the areas where government should ideally concentrate but Government doesn’t look to be aware of this precarious situation. The prime minister is often heard saying that his government is not a caretaker government which is enough to surprise any layman. The election of CA was not conducted to select a government to run the country rather it was held to have a CA which can promulgate a new constitution for federal democratic Nepal , obviously a Government is needed to run the country during transition but I am confident that the government doesn’t have a moral right to do any fundamental change which can jeopardize the peace process or which can further deepen the crisis of this poor nation. But I would be wrong to expect any moral move from immoral bunch of inept politicians!
