Pieces Jee, Although the Maoist movement was started openly in 1996, the root was years before that period. Actually it was about to start arround 1992/1993 but due to some confusion in King's power transfer after successful people's movement in 1992, it was pushed back for few years. When the then 'मशाल" found that the key power was in King's pocket, it started its war in 1992. It is 100% open that Maoist's movement is againt the King not against the political parties. In other words, *IF THERE IS NO KING IN NEPAL, THERE WON'T BE MAOIST WAR IN NEPAL* The previous attempts for peace talks between the then Governments (the puppets of the King) was due to King not due to the political parities. Without King's acceptance, they could not settle any negotiations and The king did not let to settle the issue. KG does not accept constituent assembly (People's voices) because he is certain to be defeated. Please take an intense look in all sides before making any conclusions. Anyway, you are free to think whatever you like but my interest is not to spread false message to divert the truth. ---- OK
