Australia Nepali Student controversy

With the cancellation of AIBT registration from the Australian government around 1200 nepali students have been stranded in Australia. The case came into action when the  Council of International Student Australia (CISA) filed a petition about the AIBT status of nursing affiliation.  AIBT was running nursing programs without acquiring certification from the required  department of the Australian government. In view of this, the Australian Government cancelled the registration of AIBT citing the wrong practice of operation against the education Law.

So the bottom's line is consultancy in Nepal were selling the nursing program here in Nepal with the assumption of the college about to get certification for the program and assuring the student of a sexy dream abroad.


so who's mistake was it ?

1. Student who fail to check the registration and followed the trend of abroad studies
2. Government who fails to give awareness
3. Parent who lack to check the details
4. consultancy who sell the cheap dream of abroad
5. Australian Embassy that fails to validate the students interest



Things to remember 

1. Check the registration of the colleges
2. Check if the program enrolled to be accredited by the government
3. Stop being a ash see being smart lands you in shit
4. Listen to your parents
5. Always be wise to check and ask for pre-registration information with the college or consultancy

Song pressured to take down from Youtube in Nepal

With the controversial satirical song “Lutna Sake Lut” against corruption and misappropriation, singer Pashupati Sharma has been pressured by the ruling top political leaders and the youth wing of the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) to take down the video from his official channel. And as a result of the intimidation the singer has taken down the song from his official channel.

The singer had released the song on Saturday where the song trended the social networking site with high numbers.

Though there has been a silent reaction from the government but indirectly the political leaders pressured the singer to take down the song.

The song talks about the current corruption and the  misappropriation that is going on in the country in the name of politics. From the president to the prime minister to the ruling party the singer has blamed the corruption and misappropriation to be part of the system.

This practice from the ruling party shows the limitation and attitude of Community party towards the people's right and Freedom of expression. We live in democracy and our constitution ensures democracy. Every word that he has said is true and what kind of system is this where people do not have the right to speak the truth....

In democracy every person has the right to speak, may be the singer went to far by using the flags and other details but why are the political party and their representative threatening him. Are these the same people who call themselves leaders, who cannot hear few words of criticism and they say they represent the people.

Democracy ensure freedom of expression and freedom of speech as a  fundamental right. If the political party or leaders have a problem, they should have filed a case.

What kind of culture is this that political leaders and their cadets think they can intimidate and threaten people.

Sad sad sad the people in government need to understand this that in democracy people can stand against them and their decisions.
During this regime there has been a rise of corruption and misappropriation which is open to all and if people are citing it with their creativity and talent then let me tell you such people should not be called leaders. They are cowards ......


STOP threatening and intimidating ............................

Tootle and Pathao legality questioned

Tootle and Pathao, both the services have been very effective in terms of providing services and cheaper transportation to the locals. Looking at it from consumer point of view, it is certainly a great form of innovation and technology ending the syndicate of  taxi system that ruled the public transportation system. I am not hesitant to say this that a new system has come up with a better option but my question is if a service that is good has been defined illegal by law what should be corrective action.

1. Keep it running for year till the time something bad happens 
2. Work on the policy and governance 
3. Give benefit of doubt when its leaders are moving around promoting their agendas of highlighting  youth empowerment which is yet a business model 

Few days back the arrest of the riders  of Pathao has created a ripple about the legality of such service. The companies have been justifying their operation in the name of providing service and employment to the youth.

Tootle is a company lead by a group of businessman and Pathao is a franchise both of these company aspire to be a leader in public transportation as GOZEK and GOGRAB.

1. The question that arises here is in a developing country like our's where there is lack of visibility of governance such services needs a broad spectrum of policies and regulation. 
2. These service have been operational here for more than 2 years. In the name of innovation how long should they be given a benefit of doubt.
3.  In the age of technology and innovation if legality is not clearly will it be able to do justice to its service with its illegal status. As there are more issues of privacy and data that can be of concern   

 
According to vehicle and transportation act 2049 article 8 sub section 2 , "It is illegal for any private number plate to transport people by taking money."
It clearly says there is no provision for services like tootle and Pathao to exist in our transportation system.  When the law has no provision how come such services have legal existence ?

Another question is these companies are here to make money they are not a volunteering company. They are here to make money so why aren't they bound to be accountable to the law. If they are then what is their legal status when there is no provision of existence of such service.

I think the current move of Nepal government  has opened a broad way for the amendment and development of proper policy. Defying and denying the government move is a question of  legality.

Why are the nepali people  so offensive about the role and position of government ? why cant we standardize the legal definition

KP Sharma Oli New Shoe Controversy

Nepal being one of the least developed country, it's political leaders find themselves involved in various action that are more subjected to moral and ethic questioning. These issues may not look important from the point of view from an external eye but for internal eye they are very relevant.

While attending the World Economic Leaders meeting, the KP Sharma Oli has been criticized for wearing a Louis Vuitton Shoe.

Man what the Pumpking he is the prime minister of Nepal, what is he suppose to wear a GoldStar shoe. Who knows, he might have got that shoes as a gift or he might have bought it in a sale. There are number of possibility that might have occured.

Nepalese are so dam sarcastic, they are not talking about the business class air flight that he might have taken which should be 5 or 6 times more than normal economical flight and they are talking about the shoes that he is wearing. One shoes is affordable for a prime minister. I question the GK of the person who had a question about that. 

Sometime I feel so sad of all these foolish trolls and memes that goes around, one lakh shoes is within his reach people.

President of Nepal in yet another controversy

After the 180 Million car controversy, it seems president of Nepal Bidhya Devi Bhandari cannot keep herself away from  controversy. She is once again dragged into another controversy which seems very loud where she has no connection and yet she is being made the main culprit.

The new controversy is about  a helicopter which is 1 Arba 50 crores   that is like 8 times more than the 180 million car.

The Nepal government clearly gave the explanation of 180 million car to be a fleet of cars. In view of this the Nepal Army sanction the helicopter from the ministers  and has forwarded the purchase. It has been mentioned that the helicopter will be used only by the president. spending so much of money for one person is a question of efficiency and effectiveness.

Moreover, there can be issues of organized corruption of commission where Nepal Army due to its legal entity is kept away from  CIAA jurisdiction.

A country which  is believed to be a least developed country and has major issues of education, health, food, many other infrastructure, has a purchase list of billion for so called one person. How smart is that? 

The political culture of Nepal has promulgated political leaders who aspires to buy new cars and helicopter at the price of people hard pay tax.   

 I kind of wonder if these crazy ideas of buying billion rupees cars and helicopter are ideas of a sane person.

What a joke ?

180 million car Controversy

Out of the latest update from the office of  President of Nepal, once again Bidhya Devi Bhandari is in controversy for the vehicle procurement. The Nepal Government  recently submitted the need of 180 Million for the acquring the bullet proof vehicle for the president. As soon as the news were out the social media was on fire. The whole need of expense for the transportation  was criticized from all.

The reality 1. Bidhya Devi Bhandari didn't apply for the money, the Nepal Government did
2. Nobody looked into the details of how many cars were being purchased but that doesn't justify buying expensive car in any way

Out of all the facts, once again Bidhya Devi Bhandari was dragged into the controversy due to the Nepal government competence.

My argument
1. why do we need such a budget.We are a least developing country if there is a crisis of armed vehicle why should our government buy the vehicle at the cost of tax payers money. High profile dignitaries who have the need will bring their own vehicle
2. Why is Nepal Government more interested in buying sorts of luxury item. For public they have impose 280% vehicle tax as considering Car vehicle in luxury and they are buy such big expensive cars.
3. With that money new schools and education infrastructure can be set up why the Nepal government is not interested in such activities.

Keshab Sthapit Sacked

With the increasing misbehaviors and no performance of the Keshab Sthapit the Physical Infrastructure and Development  has been sacked by chief Minister Dormani Poudel. After the consultation of CM Poudel with  Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli at Manmohan Cardiothoracic Vascular and Transplant Centre of Tribhuvan University, the decision was taken in action.
Sthapit has been sacked under Article 169 (2) (b) of the Constitution.

It was reported that minister, Sthapit misbehaved with the CM and used foul language. A large chunk of the provincial budget has been allocated to Sthapit’s ministry, but he has not been sincerely mobilising it. Sthapit’s ministry has received Rs17 billion budget for this fiscal.

The political culture of Nepal sincerely has no standard in terms of having a effective qualification for being a minister. Any one from the road can be picked and made a minister in view of how one can pitch.

The country is facing this problem not just from the one side but from all sides where for public service only the best of the best qualify but when it comes to the visionary leaders there is none criteria. Its really disheartening to such a practice where leadership is not considered or idealized in a protagonist way.

People like Sthapit may be vocal in their manifesto of the election but when it comes to the real action they lack consistency.

Rabi Lamichhane Controversy

Rabi lamichhane has been a huge media figure in the Nepali TV industry and has created a ripple in the over all journalism industry with this presentation and morale values. He is indeed a nationalist and has done some fabulous job that many of us have seen and felt.

He was issued the non-tourists visa for Nepal certifying relation with Harishchandra Lamichhane from Bhaktapur to be his brother.

Relationship Visa
Kins  of Nepalese citizen can apply for Relation Visa by producing following documents.

• Relationship Certificate issued by local bodies establishing relationship with Nepali kin (Original and photocopy)
• Citizenship certificate of kin (Original and photocopy).
• Concerned kin should not be foreign passport holder and should be present in person at DOI for the verification formalities. He/she should be related to applicant by blood.
• Passport and latest visa (photocopy).
• Online Form  (Relation Visa) (Link to Online Visa  application
• Relation visa holders are not permitted to work without acquiring 'Work Permit' from Department of Labour. Work Permit procedure, however starts from Department of Immigration. Contact the Department of Immigration, Non Tourist  Visa Section for detail information.

Visa Fee : 5 USD/per month

Single Re-entry facility :  20 USD extra in addition to monthly Visa Fee

Multiple Re-entry facility : 60 USD extra in addition to monthly Visa Fee


Even the journalist ethics code in  press council doesn't say anything about the legality of the journalist.

The recent controversy that he has been dragged in is very confusing about what is the problem all about.
1. Is he doing something illegal ?
2. has he harmed anyone ?
3. Has he created a social mess or anything to deteriorated the cultural harmony?


Facts about Rabi 
1. He was an American citizen when he entered Nepal
2.  He was working in Nepal with a non tourist visa with relationship Visa


Out of all this chaos, what I can see is the law has been confused in terms of its practice and interpretation. Press council Nepal please be updated with the your monitoring mechanism. The Law clearly states that a relationship VISA with a work permit can be allowed to work.

President of Nepal awards her daughter during the Republic day

President of Nepal Bidhya Devi Bhandari awarded both her daughters ceremonial awards during the republican day 29 May 2018. She has been hugely criticized for this move in social media and has been  compared with the long gone monarchy regime which distributed awards to their family members and people their favor . 

President Bidya Devi Bhandari on the recommendation of the Council of Ministers on Saturday awarded 56,649 persons on the occasion of the ninth Republic Day.

According to a statement issued by the President’s Office today, 370 persons were awarded with Manapadabis, Alankars and Padaks of various degrees.

It is really sad how medals and honors are being distributed in the name of favoritism and nepotism. An award or honor is a respect to the moral values that stand live example for an extra human behavior working towards the benefits of the public. Distributing honors and awards in the name of recommendations seem to degrade the value of such awards and  create an attitude of disappointment. Long gone is the past practice where the public brought in federalism for change but the attitude of favoritism and nepotism still exist in the name of such tradition that has been passed on and prolong with the governance process.

Narendra Modi Coming roads are made in 24 hrs

It is really amazing how the Kathmandu city and its  decoration is going on in view of the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. To everyone's shock the Chabel Chuuchepati road which remained a nightmare for the local from last few decades was pitched within 6 hours by the road department. It was a un-imaginable things that has happened said a local. These roads were subjected to traffic and loads from past few years which was completely neglected. In view of modi staying at the Hyaat Regency the section of the Chabel Chucchepati has been pitched with in 6 hours in view of his comfort.

It is really a shame that how modi's visit turns the face of the road.what kind of management or government do we have that over looks public governance and focuses more towards other things.  isn't really sad that our department which are suppose to take care of all these things are not doing it though they are capable of doing it.   

Fascinating things is this doesn't even happens when the prime minister or president of Nepal visit these place.

Looking at the trend i think we need to increase the official visit of modi to a more days so that more roads and development and can be done at grassroots level.
