Thanks HOuston. I really enjoyed reading Kanak's article this morning. Kanak is trying to give advice to the King not to do this foolish stuff. But will the king listen to him? The working style of Gyanendra is that he gives sufficient hints to the population and outside world, what he intends to do, Well ahead of time. The people and parties are unable to read his signals on time. For example, the king has already decided that if parties dont accept municipal elections, he will ban all political parties. He has already given hints to them on this. These hints are: 1- banning FM Radios 2- Jailing political leaders 3- creating a parallel burocracy 4- making judiciary and other organs dysfunctional ........... By the end of this year, we will be heading towards direct military rule. Intellectuals like Kanak have understood the kings signals and are terrified. Dictatorship is what this country actually needs at this moment in time, whether that dictatorship comes from left or right.....This has become the objective necessasity for this country. Those who dont understand this, are either foolish or naive. Chetana Bhaya .... HOuston!
