The king stated that he is reinstating the parliament in accordance with the "margachitra" (roadmap) of the agitating parties? FYI, the roadmap also supported by the Maoists contains these things: reinstatement of parliament, a new government of the political parties, dialogue with the Maoists/a roundtable, and election to the constituent assembly to draft a new constitution. The new constitution should decide the role of the monarch and the armed forces. I think it is time to celebrate with guarded optimism. It's not enough. Some leaders are likely to be tempted by the short-term benefits and forget the sacrifice and aspirations of the people. The civil soceity, professional organizations, and the meadia should keep a close watch on the activities of the parliament and goverment and force them to act according to the aspirations of this movement. The leaders should also ask the people to stay alert, and so should they in case these leaders get busy with corruption and nepotism, again. BEWARE
