The seven-party alliance has once again raised the issue of religious secularism, making it clear that they are trying to disturb the country's religious harmony. That proves that their movement's only aim is to destroy-they have no genuine goal. If it were not so, no supporter of democracy would oppose elections. Rather, they would point out shortcomings and ask for necessary changes but not boycott the polls entirely. In our case, the parties have decided to not only to boycott the polls but to also work towards violating the rights of the voters and the candidates. Ironically, it is the parties who talk about human rights. They cannot deny the fact that it was they who allowed Hindi movies in the market even after the artistes had denounced them. The Nepal banda, with its demand that small vehicles should not be allowed to ply more than 30km, was an orchestrated plan but they kept quiet about Indian vehicles that were allowed to operate freely in Nepal. If the parties are not being remote controlled by foreign forces, these are the questions they need to answer: Why do they not take part in the elections? Why are they for a constituent assembly? Why can't they join in the common voice against terrorism? Why don't they introduce democracy within their own parties? What do they mean by all-party government and how can it be formed? At a time when they have been making a hue and cry about human rights violations, why are they quiet when the rights of Nepalis in Kalapani and Susta have been violated because of Indian encroachment in those areas? Why don't they raise their voices to help resolve the Bhutani refugee crisis? Why do they hesitate to speak about the problems Nepal faces in regard to transit? The list of questions can go on and on.
