Anonymous   |165.132.32.xxx |2009-07-02 23:33:02 This is very sad moment. I would like to express my heartly condolence. I am very surprised to see the government planning about giving employment to people. No any government has ever stressed over creating empolyment inside the country. No movements for opening the closed industry and planning for new ones. Its so shameful that foreign ministers are seeking job for its people in forein contry. Even if all Nepalese will work on forein land and Nepal import a large amount of revenue , Nepal will never prosper. Government should give all their attention to creating emplyoment inside the country. THis is the one and only way Nepalese people and Nepal can progress. All the maosit unions has severy damaged Nepali industries by creating strikes and ultimate closure of some of them. When industries closes, who will suffer, the one owner or the hundreds of poor people who loose their jobs. ANd still they said they are fighting for poo... Keshav Raj Pudasaini  - Sad demise and condolence !!!   |86.96.229.xxx |2009-07-02 12:24:51 I would like to convey my sincere condolences from my heart to all the families of those Nepali Brothers who have lost their lives in the tragic ship sinking accident in Doha. May god give them power to face this irreparable loss of life. Our government has to learn a lesion to find some ways that creates opportunities for all to get employed in our country. Had there been enough jobs here, I am sure these lives would have been saved. Our Political leaders now need to come out with a vision of the security of its people and not that they have won votes for us and are always busy fighting for the chair and the position. May your soul be rest and peace in haven………………………….. nepali  - Sad news   |74.96.40.xxx |2009-07-02 10:14:50 I am sick of reading news on Nepalese workers' unnatural deaths in Arab countries. Recently, there was a news on 24 deaths in a month in Qatar and now this one. Government and related parties, please do something to provide more safety to our Nepalese workers in Arab countries. These workers already don't make much and besides, they are always in fear of losing lives. agyat  - CONDOLENCE   |121.1.54.xxx |2009-07-02 07:56:00 This is very sad to hear. May the departed soul be rest in peace in heaven. I express my heartfelt condolence to the grief family. All the Blame goes on the political leaders who are fighting for the chairs, if they have given the employment they shouldn't have taken there last breath in the other countries, Be aware there soul is always against the political leaders. I know now these leaders are happy but be aware after your death you will have harden life, like bitting an iron rice because you are gonna boiled on a hot boiling oil. Leaders! think on it from your heart.... God! we prayed you let us do something for our countries, and let us take our last breath in our countries... Powered by !JoomlaComment 3.26
