of course, constituent assembly is the way to go. more power to the peoples who are for this option. it is a fallacy to believe this is the niji agenda of the Maoists ONLY, and that advocating this position is supporting the Maoist rebels. the truth is politically-conscious Madhises to Janjatis to Dalits to Adivashis to women to other minorities - even those have been victims of the Maoist violence - are increasingly clamoring for contituent assembly. hope the political parties that make up the government and the government sit up and listen to the peoples' voices rather than parrot the 'elections' or 'reviving the parliament' mantra, which seems to be coming from powerful quarters, from the very people who made a big mess of this country. karmapa
