Ojaswi, my opinion pretty much resonates with dbst's. I dont think this decision was singlehandedly done by BRB, it was done by the party and I seriously doubt Baburam can have any say in this anymore. If you think the party will retract its decision now then I would say you have misunderstood the maobadis. Baburam has declared that the decision can not and will not be retracted. That's their position and your position is just the opposite. How can we get a compromise between these positions? That should be our concern.
  As concerns leadership in Nepal, a true leader would not last in Nepal, hence there does not exist one. Counter me if I am wrong. To become a leader, you have carry all kinds of people on your back because most of the people are selfish and uneducated. They would look for their profit before they would look for their community. It's difficult. My point is we can't afford to decelerate the ongoing peaceprocess and nationbuilding effort for one Dhungel dude. Future of our nation is more important than one person's future. You might ask what kind of future we can envision with this kind of law. Well we can address the law after we become a little better in economic front. As you might know Nepal is dirtpoor. We can't afford to fool around in these bids.
  My question to you is: would you want the nation to go to dust rather than forgive the Dhungel guy? The relationship between this case and Nepal bandh and the next civil war is that people are getting heated about this case. When people get heated, that kind of shit happens. People have already started creating juloos. It's just a matter of time. Given the intensity of the case, I doubt that the opposition of this pardon is not politically motivated. About the constitutionality of this case, I think the Ministry and the President reserve the right to override any decision by the Supreme Court. That's how it is in the US. I am not saying Baburam's decision is right but he has not broken any law this time by supporting his cohorts in this decision. Moreover, I don't think all the political murders happened in the battlefield. Was the murderer of that teacher - Bhattarai guy, who was tied to a tree with his muffler and shot down - punished? I dont think that was personal though it occurred outside the battlefield.
   Another question, why would Dhungel murder Ujjan if the girl he eloped with was not his sister. The party might have directed this action because it was Ujjan's second marriage and I think maobadis punish a person with two wives( I am not aware of the court ruling) . In that case, it can be defined as a political murder. Well during the war, many personal murders were politicized in both sides so it's better if we don't get roiled in this quagmire any longer. If there's a short way out, let's go that way. That is the essence of this moment in Nepal. So that we can address the case of our Nepali didi bahinis being raped on a daily basis and our Nepali brothers being killed by the Musaltes. Are you aware that there are 40 dead bodies in Saudi ready to be shipped to Nepal? Do they demand any less attention than the Ujjan case? They are dying each day as we speak. Now we can address this case or continue with the Ujjan case which is interesting and beneficial only to perpetrators of Nepal. If we continue this chaos, the outsiders will always have an upper hand with us and will continue to enslave us.
