The question is not if the villains of the previous regime should be brought to justice or not. The question is how to follow due process while doing it. There is a rule of law way, the universal human rights way to do it, and there is an ad hoc, Public Security Act way to do it.
We can't bungle this one.
We fought for rule of law. We fought for due process. We fought for the right to public trial. We fought for the right to legal representation. We fought for human rights.
And so it is very important to do it right. It is very important to do the homework.
Yes, people can be detained before they are tried. Yes, they can be tried. But when you detain them, you do have to make a clear case. And when you finally try them, you sure have to make a very clear case. There have to be examinations and cross examinations. Evidence and witnesses have to be presented. The whole nine yards.
There is no dearth of expertise in our camp. The Nepal Bar Association is full of people who are masters of this whole mechanics. They have all the know how. But the political leadership has to know to ask for advice and help.
Law Enforcement
Vandals roamed the streets on Tuesday. And they had a few hours of free ride. That can not be tolerated. These are monarchists who think they can also come out into the streets like we did. Sure they can march and protest. Why not? And it is for them that we are going to organize the constituent assembly elections. They have the option to win the hearts and minds of the people and save the monarchy if they can. Let them campaign.
But vandalism can not be tolerated, should not be tolerated. Such vandal acts should be termed counter-revolution, small as they might be. Every revolution in history has had an element of that.
Cabinet Expansion
It is ridiculous, the ways of the NC(D). Get over it. Let's move on.
Supreme Parliament
I can't wait. That will be a big day. Then things can move much faster after that.
