Sure Nepalese are unconfrontational, but to the extent that we can forgive the Maiosts for what they have done, for mass massacres that have occcured, for looting, for misbehaving and raping our own women, for destroying basic public services, health, education, damaging infrastructures costing millions of rupees? While we continue to emerge out of the era of darkness in the great history of Nepalese society, fear factor is a massive political propaganda, and to allow these murderers to do what they want, is giving them an upper hand in the political agenda. And the idea that there is nothing that we can do and to allow them to disarm and join hands with the seven parties is something very hard for me to digest. And Ashu ji, I do not have a problem with the King's decision to take over and I like many other Nepalese around the world and back home hope that he does good. the problem I have is with the time table that he has set up . I mean why the hell does he have to say three years? What if he does not do it in three years? What do you say then? Let him go on! Heading into imperialism, I suppose. The fact of the matter is, the message is not clear and simple. It is extremely complex. Just because he uses some time table does not make it clear and simple. Also your notion that the wrong message from the King does not concern us is absurd. Wrong message is a wrong message, and so be it labeled. We will be concerned if he is lying, we ought to be concerned, regardless of what the situation right now is.
