Ignorant political leaders become popular only because of their propaganda but not from intelligent. This sort of popularity generally vanishes within year or two when people realized the significance of propaganda. Once Nani Maiya Dahal became popular during Panchayat era. She won election from Kathmandu while others veteran leaders were defeated. From Panchyat Era to date, many propagandist people in politics emerged and vanished. Once Golchhe Sarki became popular due to his slapping action upon NC leader. He probably was Ram Chandra Paudel.
During the recent years, another person Lal Babu Pandit is trying to be popular in the name of PR and insulting to people living outside Nepal. He made humiliation to people living overseas, but Non-Residential Nepalese Organization (NRN) could not send reaction about it. However, some Nepali who are living overseas has sent their reaction personally upon the Lal Babu Pandit’s action. They were smart people and love Nepal very much. Actually, Nepali living outside love not less than people who are living in Nepal. Political leaders should recognize their contribution. Mr. Lal Babu Pandit is almost the same as Nani Maiya Dahal.
He spent over the year in the name of PR and Green Card. But he never realized the importance of this issue to bring into public for discussion. He limited the issue within the Singha Durbar. I myself tried to give feedback and requested to bring it into public but Lal Babu led the issue did not allow to come into the discussion. Nepali media made him popular and asked for interview 24/7. It was actually insult of media as they would have found the intellectual person who knows better about the PR and DV. He could not differentiate citizenship and PR/Green Card. Lal Babu claimed there were 12000 (twelve thousand) civil servants with PR and Green Card and announced to kick all them out of the job and make the posts vacant in Government (anybody can check the figures from his interview). However, only 38 civil servants had resigned. He made this propaganda to become a president of Nepal. If he was in Canada, UK or Europe, and the US he would have been sacked from his post only due to Propaganda but it was Nepal rather he was rewarded.
He made afternoon dark in such a digital age!!!! It is miracle that this law does not apply to army, police, school teachers, university professors and medical doctors. How it is applied only for civil servant ? Does it show that La Babu Pandit was fare? There are still some political leaders with PR who passed the law. Is our constitution carry the Sprit of equality? Lal Babu isn’t he insulting three NC leaders ? How Lal Lal Babu Pandit got right to speak against others privacy ? Lal Babu Pandit is ignorant about DV, PR and Green card. He does not know know how importance is the issue.
I think this will bring negative consequences upon the society and it will disintegrate and distract the people from Nepal. I myself ready to teach Lal Babu what is PR and Visa and what will be negative consequences of blocking PR, Indian Rasan Card, and Green card in law? what will happen when Indian Rasan card issue will arise ? Our Constitution does not differentiate between “Rasan” card and PR? It only mentioned as permanent residence card. Rasan card of India is also Permanent Residence card. When the constitution fully implemented many Nepali people will be deprived of their civil right. There are hundreds of Nepali who may have Indian Rasan Card but they are Nepali. Thus, this sort of issue may not beatify our relation with our neighbor.
Government of Nepal and political parties should make the necessary correction in otherwise it may bring further unnecessary issues to Nepal. In conclusion people are supporting Lal Babu Pandit but could not understand his propaganda of popularity? Why I am saying Propagandist to Lal Babu as he claimed himself as an Engineer. In this claim, I made a research and found that he never went to an engineering degree. In our country, Overseers and engineers are different by socially and legally. He was Minister for General Administration so, he should have known that Overseers deserve only non-gazetted post while engineers qualify for gazetted post. If a technician can be as an engineer why we are spending for the long engineering degree?
