#Sankat (Nepali Cabinet) - Sivali, Nikita

Yet another day as the press in the Nepal cabinet and the committee gets even better with their enthusiasm level. The committee encountered several unmoderated caucuses in the first half discussing the work permits of Indians and Nepalese in their respective neighboring nations. When the cabinet stated the wrongfulness of Indians needing work permits to work in Nepal whereas Nepalis not requiring so in India, the chair made a statement as to correct this opinion. He claimed his behalf when he explained how this in all terms is unfair to India and not Nepal. The chair to the rescue as always proposed suggestions to enlighten the confused delegates. 

The committee was lively and energetic all throughout and very well opinionated as well. They participated contributing to proper committee operation. As the session progressed, India was blamed for breaching the article two of the Nepal Indian treaty of friendship where India had declared war with Pakistan without Nepal’s permission. The Indian Ambassador defended India and its acts stating that India has no fault. After the continuous accusations between the two blocs, the Population and Environment Minister suggested that these misunderstandings need to be defined between them. As the discussion for the amendments advanced, it was pointed out by the Foreign Affairs Minister that the treaty went against the foreign policy of Nepal which was further detailed by the chair. When the two cabinets exchanged words regarding this article, voting was held on the definition of sovereignty given by the Indian Ambassador. 

The chair almost having left the room returned to remind the delegates that they were still “in formal session” when the cabinet started fooling around. Crisis greeted the committee where a Nepali farmers protested as Susta (Nepal’s land) was illegally captivated by Indian farmers. Group of 50 Nepali farmers initiated a turmoil against this move of India. In-between the intense atmosphere, the Minister of Supplies hastily inquired “How do you know the farmers are Nepali?” Followed by updates the situation intensified and various moderated caucuses decided that the farmer who had been held at gunpoint was innocent and should be set free. As the ministers talked through this they decided that the cabinet should merge with the Indian Cabinet to come up with a consent and solve this. The chair confirmed that he’d make everyone speak as he pointed out at the two silent ministers by stating “Please say something, ministers who haven’t spoken today, or ever.”
