The Corona virus, which started from China and spread terror all over the world, has not only kept Nepal untouched, but also the number of infected people is increasing day by day due to the incompetence of the government. Especially Nepalis living in India for employment could not return to their homeland in the early days when they begged to return. At the time when they were not infected, the government remained silent even when they were crying with the government. The government has treated them unfairly by allowing them to return home after they became infected.
After all, those working brothers who have returned to their homeland have been treated like second-class citizens. Corona has exposed the government’s incompetence by refusing to allow those who want to return to their homeland to return home on time. At present, Nepali brothers from India have been kept in quarantine in villages.
They are living a life of humiliation, let alone proper quarantine. Instead of giving them service facilities and self-reliance, they are also heard to be treated with disgust. The clear policy of the government and the respect and treatment they should receive is extremely weak and despicable. People who are infected are treated as if they were infected on purpose. Is this the behavior of those who ruled and took their seats from the remittances earned from their blood and sweat till yesterday? This columnist wants to question the state operators.
In order to fight the Corona, the government did what it was supposed to do, but only to the poor. Poor people were forced to walk hundreds of kilometers hungry and thirsty. Those who sang the praises of the government’s failure and walked around took the pass and walked around having fun. What could be more ironic than this? The people are standing against the deeply responsible work of the government. There can be no greater mistrust of the government. Instead of doing what the government should have done to address the questions and concerns of the people, the Prime Minister has been training the people on how to eat turmeric and how to wear hats.
In the name of lockdown, government terror forced the people to starve and some ended their lives. Instead of providing relief to the people who were forced to suffer from hunger rather than disease, the government only hurt them. Corona was more severe than the annual diarrhea epidemic in remote villages in Nepal, but the number of deaths and illnesses was a thousand times greater than that. We have not paid attention to such archiving and we have too much forgetfulness. In the year 541, a European country with a long record of its country. Around 42 million people have lost their lives. In China, where the corona originated, a 2003 SARS epidemic killed nearly 350 people. Similarly, 1346. The infection, which spread to 53, has killed more than five million people, according to European records. There are many such examples, but the focus of the state is on where and when the calamity struck and how it was faced, focusing on how to fool the people. It is even more amazing to see the procession shown in Nagdhunga. Cargo vehicles are entering the area from 100 meters away from the checkpoint without any hindrance, while those who do not have access are being turned away.
It is also regrettable that the punishment given for hours in the name of check-up is also given. At a time when the number of infected people was low, the government focused on defending its power by shutting down. The number of infected people is increasing day by day, but the government is focused on fulfilling its mission rather than preventing it. Having fought and resisted various diseases for years, we have no choice but to fight the corona virus and remain vigilant. However, the Nepali people did not get to feel happy that the government is the guardian of the people. At a time when industrialists are on the verge of collapse, the government is trying to use the tax stick instead of giving them sympathy and relief. People have come to understand that the lockdown is not about loosening the corona, it is about using the tax stick. At such a time, the common Nepali brothers and sisters are urged to remain vigilant without expecting and trusting this government. We have nothing but to be vigilant and open the deaf ears of the government and open our blind eyes!
