Kathmandu, Mar. 16: Main Oppsition leader Madhav Kumar Nepal today said that the nation was passing through a critical situation and recommended structural and institutional reform in the political, economic and social sector as a remedy.

General Secretary of the Communist Party of Nepal (United Marxist-Leninist) Nepal said that no part of the state was functioning properly at present.

Nepal said that lawlessness gripped educational, bureaucratic and judicial systems adding that Nepali Congress government was incapable of solving the existing problems of peace and security, unemployment, corruption and the ongoing Maoist insurgency.

“The nation is sick with anarchy but the NC government is least concerned about the problem,” Nepal said addressing a face to face programme organised by Reporters’ Club here this afternoon. “It is not even aware of all these problems. NC leaders are busy fighting for position, power and commission.”

Nepal charged that the government had abused the bureaucracy, educational institutions and the police force for the interest of the party.

Nepal accused the government of being involved in what he called white terrorism. “Its not only Maoists who are involved in terrorism, the government also is involved in it.”

Nepal said that the government’s oppression was responsible to the rise of Maoist problem but he also criticised the insurgents labelling their move as brutal and wild.

Nepal said that the government had failed to give the citizens a sense of difference during the last ten years. “It is time to assess whether the government performed in line with the spirit of people’s movement,” Nepal said.

“The revivalists at home as well as the external forces are taking advantage of a weak government,” Nepal said. He appealed to all the political parties and the civil society to remain alert of such forces.

Nepal said that the nation desperately waited for a positive change. “The nation cannot reverse back; neither can it remain in the status quo. It was an irony it was messed up in status quo during the last ten years.”

He said that the government had to rise above the conservative mode of thought to assess the gravity of the problem and find a way out. Nepal stressed on responsible politics for giving the nation a new direction.
