Ashu, I agree with you and lets not debate about his right to express himself. Its up to him to express himself, just like yourself I don't care either. However, for someone of responsible position who still holds a position (regardless of weather he getting his salaries from). It is clear (call me opinionated or biased) from reading his statements that he is making a political move, now he knows that his days are gone with the royal regime and he wants to make his mark for the next government, which he knows will not be royal government. All I have to say is he is another opportunist who is looking for another opportunity to divulge in power. I usually refrain from making generalized statements about someone however this is classic and fits into the corrupt mentality of nepali leaders and bureaucrats. In peace. Shiv
