I don't think this is pro-democratic step....... if anybody says, we have to sacrifice life for democracy then I can understand but extortion and these kinds of activities are not tolerable on the gun point. Maoist should be kicked out or they should gain some ethic before they envolve in any activity. if Maoist dont' have any ethic then they should be eliminated. When I hear these kinds of news and specially when I read the news like students abducted from school by maoist, it hurts a lot. Students are suppose to be foundation of the country and they are forced for the battle with no choice. Either killed by maoist or army...... Why don't we put ourself in victims shoe and re-think everything. Is voilence the solution of anything? How rape and extortion become part of pro-democratic moments?????
