Lfc ji, If the parties become honestly committed to the nation instead of being puppets and stooges of India, Maoists can be and will be defeated very soon. The bottom line is the major parties should not yield to pressure and promises of India. Throughout the 90s, parties have been acting in their own interest and India's interest through Tanakpur and such. If all parties fail to take the Indian bait, Maoists will be disarmed within a year. It is tough but possible. Good night for now. It is getting late. I will come back later tomorrow.
