Politics of squatters

BABBLES

By Babbler 

Recent reports state that the number of squatters in Kathmandu has increased by ten times compared to the past.

Of course, political parties are involved in the looting of the government coffer. The parties want to misuse the government land in the name of the settlement of the squatters. Those squatters have occupied valuable land in the Kathmandu Valley. They are calling their relatives to Kathmandu asking them to occupy the public land.

If the government continues to distribute land free of cost, the squatters will be a never-ending problem.

Along with the change of the government, a new committee on squatters will be constituted by providing salaries, allowances and other facilities. It has become a recruitment center for political workers.

We know, those squatters are fake and just to capture the government land, they have become squatters.

First of all, the government should identify the real squatters and it should give land or houses not at free of cost but taking the price of land. Of course, the government can give the facility of paying the price in instalments.

Don’t distribute land to those fake squatters.

An interesting battle 

We don’t say that Rabi Lamichhane, DPM and Home Minister is clean. We cannot say that he was not involved in the cooperatives fraud scam.

We only appreciate him for disclosing the dual citizenship of media mafia Kailash Sihoriya. Lamichhane took the courage to disclose the citizenship issue of Sirohiya. Lamichhane has become a wounded tiger and if he gets a chance, he may surface many scandals in which the NC leaders are involved. After all, all are naked and all are involved in different scandals.

 

QUOTES OF THE WEEK  

 

This amount (one trillion rupees) is not small for Nepal. This level of student exodus indicates a serious national problem.

A ‘propaganda’ reform of the current inconsistent system of higher education alone will not address this problem. Talented young students will not remain in the country without quality educational options!

During the panchayat system, the king implemented a land reform campaign and nationalized the land that exceeded the limit, but in the republic where the communist leaders dominate, people are allowed to dispose of the land that is more than the limit! Land reform is a dream! How ironic! What is the definition of feudalism? How to do it? Will the court do this?

Bhim Rawal

“New Republic” means a new kind of foreign mediocrity. Pro-foreigner and now well-versed in nepotism, CK Rautji is in a western cover but now leaning to the south.

Saurendra B. Shah

My country’s eating and showing teeth are always different. The strict control and the solution are also the same. I see the meetings of all the non-governmental organizations and representatives of friendly countries sitting and gossiping in the Kathmandu hotels and auditoriums under disaster management. It seems that the solution will be solved tomorrow, but the reality on the ground is inhumane.

Ujjwal Bikram Thapa

The biggest criminalization of politics in the history of Nepal has happened now.

Damannath Dhungana

It is not known how long the federalism will last!

Ramkumari Jhakri

The biggest warehouse in Nepal is Singha Durbar, where thousands of government vehicles are dumped. The people sitting on the seats are not much different from the same dumped vehicles.

Roshan Shiwakoti

We were a peaceful Hindu Nation. Sometimes I feel, it (removal of the Hindu kingdom) was all conspiracy.

Manisha Koirala

We were a peaceful Hindu Nation. And yes, it was all a conspiracy hatched by enemies who didn’t want us to have that status together with a few traitors who sold themselves.
