New Government of Nepal
Following two days of chaos on the streets of Nepal, the restoration of democracy was significantly aided by the country's army. The military assumed control of the administration after the turmoil, urging citizens to maintain peace and order. The army's effective management of the disorder highlights Nepal's internal resilience and distinguishes it from Bangladesh. The Nepali army appears committed to democracy, as it swiftly persuaded the former Chief Justice, Mrs. Sushila Karki, to assume the role of Prime Minister. Although the constitution is active in Nepal, the new Prime Minister has dissolved Parliament and pledged to hold elections within six months. President Ramchandra Poudyal appointed him. India has expressed satisfaction with Nepal's current situation and has pledged support to the new government. A peaceful, stable, and developed Nepal aligns with India's interests, given its substantial contributions to Nepal's development.
Since independence, India-Nepal relations have not only been very friendly but more than that, they have been like that of two brothers. Although the Communists of Nepal tried to create bitterness in these relations, they could not succeed in this, nor can they ever succeed in the future, because there is a relationship of roti-beti between the two countries. It is also the responsibility of the Karki government to always keep these serious relations in mind. They have been entrusted with the responsibility of complete restoration of democracy in Nepal, so it is very important that they keep Nepal's multifaceted interests paramount. The Nepalese people also know that India had fully respected the wishes of the citizens here for restoration of democracy in this country and had kept itself away from the rebellion that arose against the monarchy in 2008 and declared that India wants what the people of Nepal want.
In 2008, India was under the leadership of Manmohan Singh's UPA government, with Bharat Ratna recipient Pranab Mukherjee serving as the foreign minister. During the violent protests against the monarchy in Nepal that year, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh was on an international trip, leaving Pranab Da, the senior-most leader, in charge of the government. When asked about India's stance on Nepal, he stated that India supports the desires of the Nepalese people, as it is their right to choose their government. India's position remains unchanged, respecting the will of the Nepalese populace. The new Prime Minister, Mrs. Karki, has a clear objective: to constitutionally form a new government following the dissolution of Parliament, in line with the people's wishes. Nepal's Constitution mandates elections within the next six months, with various political parties participating. Reports indicate that Mrs. Karki plans to appoint Mr. Kulman Ghising as Energy Minister and include some non-political figures in her cabinet to streamline governance during this interim period. Despite being a temporary government, it bears the significant responsibility of restoring normalcy and democracy in Nepal.
Her biggest responsibility will be to ensure that violence does not return to Nepal in any way. Because in just two days of violence, all democratic institutions of Nepal were destroyed, including the Parliament. During this violence, the way the ministers of PK Sharma Oli government were beaten up on the streets and their houses were set on fire, it can be estimated how much anger the public has against the politicians. Of course, this violent orgy of the young generation cannot be denied to be a foreign conspiracy, but it is certain that the credibility of politicians among the Nepali people has reached zero level. The anger of the young generation against political and economic corruption in the country can be justified but such violent protests against it cannot be supported in which one has to burn one's own house and become a spectacle. But if Nepal is coming back on track then it should be welcomed and the young generation of Nepal should also cooperate with the Karki government. Because change in Nepal will not come through violence but through the Constitution which has been arranged with the help of the army here. But Mrs. Karki had said even before assuming the post of Prime Minister that she will definitely get the high level corruption in Nepal investigated for which she should be given the exemption. This should also assure the young generation of Nepal that their demand for action against the corrupt will not go unheard and the interim government will take decisive action in this direction.
