Ashu dai, I agree with your notion of democracy being पुरै खुल्ला . And I admiringly appreciate your style of learning-by-arguing and play the "devil's advocate" so that the concepts get better tuned. BTW, that's also how they enrich Uranium ;) To the question at hand, however, that is the kind of democracy as in "rule of the people...". ND is not trying to rule, it is not fighting for any election/post neither is it promising you this and that. The question here is "they are not invading your space, in that context do you have any problem respecting their own space?" I believe in the name of transparency, you are not asking others to strip off in public. And my argument is that ND is not making you any promises, its not begging for expansion neither it is pleading for anyone to join in. Like-minded people do have a right to club/hang-out together and do or discuss things of common interest, and thats exactly what they are doing. And it is activism, not pure 'raajniti'. Just to remind you of one event, two days ago, GREENPEACE, a pioneer environmental activist group, laid out the corpse of a Mianke Whale in front of the Japanese Embassy in Germany to protest the insanely hypocritic 'research'-killing of whales by the Japs. [just a bit off the course plz: the corpse of the whale is still there, all stinking and disturbing and when the Japs approached the local police and the authorities, they were replied that because there was no imminent threat to the Embassy, and that the Greenpeace will move it anyway after three days, the Japs will NOT be helped. :-) ] They had acquired the whale by lying to the authorities that they would cover the costs of transportation and effective disposal and that they had such type of expertise and bla bla when the whale had gotten stranded and died somewhere else. Had they gone transparently public, they would have never succeeded in doing so. I raised this example to exemplify that activism does not necessarily have to embrace all Jack and Jill who come across the street. That said, a 'self-acclaimed democrat' would rather leave ND where it is unless ND itself interferes 'undemocratically' into his/her way. Whatsoever, I would also prefer that the discussions be given the '774' Linux-style permissions [read+write+execute to the owner+group, read to the world] बरु नेपालको भ्रष्टाचारको बारेमा नि कुरा गरम न, त्यो पो त डरलाग्दो चीज त । Keep rolling...
