Behind the move, I am guessing that Maoists might have given some signal for table talk to the negotiators (on back yard or Royal Palace) that Maoists are ready to be on table if Deoba govt. is sacked. Mr. Pun might be working towards this table talk and negotiated settlements. Political parties have failed: Girija gang wanted reactivation of dissolved parliament and Makune wanted reactiviation of local govt. bodies and they were never in the same boat. They did not show any real intentions to bring Maosits on table. thus, negotiators working on behalf of King G, might have given a signal or designed this drama of sacking Deoba based on Maosits 's intention to settle with King directly. Indian govt. might be working silently in this settlement, so that the lower level maoist cadres can be integrated in RNA force and this can turn out to be a safe landing to Maosits considering the current scenario in the world. This is jsut one possibility. Or, King G wanted to test (final test) face to face fight with Maosits. In any case, political parties failed to resolve the current crisis. Best thing for Political parties was to keep silence and follow Gandhi's method "asahayog andolan: by closing their lips for some time", but, that opportunity had already gone. Now, their voice can not infiltrate Nepal at least for sometime to make a cause and reach to common people. GP GP
