Kathmandu: The majority of Nepali citizens has taken the enactment of the Public Security Regulations in a very bad taste.

Add to this the strong condemnation, which the draconian regulations has invited from the competent political parties of the nation.

Several Human Rights and pro-public organizations have already forwarded their strong criticisms against the very enactment of the regulations and have appealed the establishment to repeal the same or else prepare itself to face the consequences.

National media organizations too joined the race of condemnation and suggested the government to scrap the regulation as it ran contra to the letter and spirit of the existing constitution.

However, the fact is that the government under Koirala remains adamant and till today has not even hinted that it would give a second thought to the controversial regulations let alone scrap it in the name of democracy.

Surprising of it all is the stoic silence kept by the western democracies based in Kathmandu regarding the bringing into force the most undemocratic regulations by the Koirala regime last month.

Be that as it may, former Speaker Daman Nath Dhungana in cooperation with yet another HR activist, Padma Ratna Tuladhar on Monday indicated the government that the people had not taken the regulations in good taste and that should the people wish they can form a long human chain and encircle the entire Tundikhel in protest of the dangerous regulation.

The insensitive government remains undeterred.

A section of intellectuals’ guess that some powerful forces could be well behind Koirala regime acting more or less like a shield to withstand onslaughts of any dimensions.

Perhaps this is Nepal’s democracy in its most undemocratic form, which the people are told to bear with or else face penal actions and that too from the administrative head of their respective districts.

All said and done, the protests continues against the PSR and time permitting it could well become a serious headache to the government.
