I totally understand the frustration over Maoist perticularly over Prachanda. There are lots of threads appleaing the people to crush the maoists and their leaders. Some of us might have lost relatives/families by maoists. I am assuming the class of people who have lost their famliy or relatives by the government does no have access to the internet. Just think, what would happen if the people who have lost their family/relatives from the goverment say to crush their opponents. Do we still want to go back to the civil war. To get out of the plight that we had till last winter, we must be understanding. Just seeing more thread that against Maoist and Maoist leaders does not mean that they are very weak and you can crush their leaders whenever they want. I dont agree with their philosophy and the ideology, but reality is real. We should appreciate them spreading the concept of" republic " to the grass root level.
