We must face our nation's present political situation - all depends what we wish - 'Liberty of people' or 'what is there for me?'

I think the move of the king is unwise and undemocratic. Basically, it is a despotic and paranoid strategic military action against the fundamental rights of people of Nepal. It is obvious to any thoughtful Nepali by now that unlike the late king Birendra king GB has neither the appetite nor the conditionings for multiparty democratic practices. If he had he could have at list called all parties, press, human rights organizations, and intellectuals? council prior to his action. He could have let them know in this council what he thinks about the security situation of the nation and what he thinks what he is going to do next to bring about stability and peace in the country. If he had called such counseling the impression of it in the county and around the world could have been different. Unfortunately he took the dark-age procedure with the dark forces. Intellectually, he has not been brought up to have a council of people for dialogue. His political upbringing is to gain political power from secret politics ? policing, military and financial (to secure his position with power). His expertise he has inherited from his father Mahendra, the father of Panchayat Dictatorship. The popular king Birendra had different upbringings from king GB ? he grew up with his grand father Tribhuvan, the father of Nepali Democracy movement, he was well educated and a graduated of Harvard University. It has to be clear to all Nepali in the country and around the world about the king GB?s inherited appetite for politics and what he wants to do with it in Nepal. We should not make mistake about it at all times that if we love our county for our liberty and have faith in the process of multiparty democracy we have long way to go with our struggle and hope. We have to accept that we have now become in abroad and in the county the captive of the tyrant king and his thoughtless brutal military servicemen. If we are not serious to unit ourselves with our course we may all lose our fundamental rights to be the bonafide citizen of Nepal. We will have to live in abroad and in the county under the permanent thread of GB and his military servicemen.
