Deuba’s arrival in Nepal: The future politics between ‘enthusiasm’ and ‘doubt’
Kathmandu. Nepali Congress (NC) President Sher Bahadur Deuba is likely to return home. Not only the issue of his withdrawal, but the Supreme Court’s order to review the special general convention has further complicated the party’s politics.
The show of strength shown by the leaders of other parties at the airport to welcome Deuba and the statements made by the leaders led by Gagan Thapa, who was elected through the special general convention, have started speculation that not only the Nepali Congress but the country’s politics will enter a new turn.
Nepali Congress leaders are expressing doubts about Deuba’s return from various angles.
Some have speculated that a new understanding has been reached between the government and the Deuba faction, while others have interpreted it as a strategy to weaken the Gagan Thapa faction. The most interesting and interesting topic is how the government of Nepal, which was in the mood to bring Nepal back by issuing a Red Corner Notice, suddenly changed.
Deuba, who was scheduled to visit Nepal after about
6 months, had been exercising good influence in the internal politics of the NC even while staying abroad. Therefore, there are indications that his role will further deepen the internal balance of power and leadership disputes. Apart from this, the subject of review by the court has been speculated as ‘doubt’ and ‘setting’.
Deuba, who was injured in a deadly attack at his residence during the Zenji agitation, had left for Singapore on a Singapore Airlines flight on the night of February 13.
From there, he went to Hong Kong for further treatment. Leaders close to Deuba have been saying that even while in Hong Kong, Deuba used to meet his cadres and important people. From time to time, he has been releasing official statements on the party’s letterpad.
According to the leaders of the other side, Deuba’s visit to Nepal is really exciting.
His stay in Hong Kong, which was frustrated by the Jenji movement on the pretext of treatment, was not interpreted as ‘exile’ and his return to Nepal enthusiastically at a time when the country’s political situation was fluid is also considered as the basis of the positive message shown by the Supreme Court.
After returning home, Deuba is scheduled to attend the national gathering of other groups to be held at the Miracle Party Palace in Sukedhara on Friday.
Not only that, preparations are also being made to make Deuba the chief guest at the gathering and address the party as the president elected from the 14th General Convention.
Meanwhile, the statements of the leaders of the establishment faction are being made public in a ‘recalcitrant mood’ and the reaction that Deuba is confident that he will take steps in the interest of the party by understanding the truth is also not considered normal. There is a possibility of some political upheaval. Some have also objected to the Supreme Court’s unnecessary judicial activism in the party’s internal disputes.
But there are many who believe that the court’s order will bring the party to the reconciliation.
At that time, the Deuba faction chose the path of the court in the matter of the Election Commission’s recognition of Gagan Thapa’s leadership. It is also said that the court order has also inspired the party to merge.
Former acting president Purna Bahadur Khadka had filed an application for review on July 2
0. The Deuba faction seems to be excited after the Supreme Court allowed the review on August 20.
The leaders of the Deuba faction have been calling the leadership of the special general convention illegal from the beginning and the judicial trial of the dispute has started again after the court allowed the review. However, the establishment faction of the Nepali Congress is preparing to defend the legitimacy of the leadership elected through the special general convention in the court. President Gagan Thapa has been saying that he will face the review process of the Supreme Court with confidence.
However, although Deuba’s visit has been seen from both the angle of enthusiasm and suspicion, the activities of the Balendra Shah government are also considered to be a major basis. Growing infighting within the ruling party Rastriya Swatantra Party, the Prime Minister’s irresponsible activities and not being accountable to the people as well as the insult to the federal parliament have started speculating that Nepal’s politics will take a new direction.
