I agree with dadagiri in this one. First of all, it does not make sense to blame anybody being as Mandale for supporting king's move. In the same way I do not think everybody who is talking about republican govt is maoist. The blame game going here is really stupid. But I want to stress a fact that calling for republicanism wihtout considering pros and cons is not rational. I think republicanism will bring maoism in the current context. I do not think its practically possible for a republican govt with multi party democracy in the current context. King will not be willing to give away thrown. Current poltical parties have lost their trust for a effective mass movement. For me in the current context, if the poltical parties have learnt their mistakes, they should mend their ways. Help to bring corrupt in justice and make a leadership change. These leaders should go to the public to gain public trust. They should work on trust building rather than anything else. As far as king is concerned, I still beleive he will have to go back for multiparty democaracy. Instead of us fighting with each others we should work together so that this transistion takes place quickly and effectively. But I really wish that before king goes being constitutional monarch, corrupt leaders be prosecuted and taken action. Some will raise the question of current leaders in the power. When new leadership will be in power, action could be taken against them too. Democracy is a self correcting mechansim only if it is implemented properly. We should have straong framework with controls placed to avoid deficciency. I do not beleive we had true democracy. I did not really feel my rights were secured at that time. Instead I felt more insecured, frusstated. Not a single work could be done without corruption. Not only that the thugs, gangsters were in supreme power. Just look at Milan Chakre - UML affiliated gangsta, Deepak Manage - RPP affiliated and so on. Right now atleast in KTM, there is little security. Low extortion and corruption, and others. I really believe we need to bring maoists in the negotiating table first. All the parties should cooperate in this one and get a way out of this cancer. To end, Nepe bro I do not have any harsh feelings against U. U wrote u r thoughts in this forum. SO did I. But personally I felt u start attacking any criticism. But U know that only when people raises questions, then they are willing to change. I wish for Nepal to be peaceful so thst I am not afraid of going back and plan my future there. Highfly for peace in Nepal
