Murari Raj Sharma was NOT the "chief guest" at the rally. No one was. Murari Raj Sharma attended the rally on the capacity of an ordinary Nepali living in the US who believes in democracy in Nepal, like every other nearly 400 people who were there. Murari Raj Sharma was given the podium (I suppose) because he happens to be one of the prominent Nepalis, both in political and social circles, in New York. Ten others were granted the same opportunity to speak (for 2 minutes) at the rally. If Mr. Sharma had any hidden agenda behind his participation at the rally, that is HIS problem, not any other participants' at the rally. The time has not come yet to make that judgement about him. For those who make foolish claims that this rally was hijacked by Mr. Sharma -- like they claimed the rally in DC was hijacked by Sujata (when she was NOT even given ANY prominence there!) -- I am afraid YOU must be trying to hijack the rally the other way around by clinging to baseless accusations of Mr. Sharma being the "guest of honor" at the rally.
