The socio-political situation in the country is extremely tense as the masses struggle with rising inflation, unemployment, and other issues while the government and opposition are involved in a futile war ahead of the vote on the no-confidence motion against the prime minister. The incumbent government has accused the opposition of buying their loyalists hailing from the ruling party. While the opposition claims that the prime minister has lost a majority in National Assembly and should resign from his premiership.
This is not the first time that the country is witnessing a game of musical chairs among political figures. Since the inception of the country, democracy has been weak because of dishonest politicians who have been focused on their gains. Mutual toleration and cooperation are absent amongst the government and opposition.
None of the political parties seem to be interested in the development and betterment of the country. Instead of seeking power for themselves, both the government and the opposition should work on improving the lives of the masses and reforming state institutions. The need of the hour is to address the issues faced by the masses and steer the sinking economy towards recovery. The country requires a mature political leadership that can resolve domestic issues and engages diplomatically with regional and international players.
