Protest in NY seems aimless. Think seriously - What is the agenda? What do we demand? Major issues are: State of emergency - lifted. Freedom of speech - what else do we want as news media are writing any thing they want and no more censorship is imposed? Release of captives leaders - most of them released except Gagan Thapa. He might as well be released by the time. Revert back to democracy - how? By handing over power to whom? to Congress or communists or caolition - don't you think these options already exhusted? Eelction? - King promised to hold election in given time. Reinstatement fo Parliament? power sharing through that old equation in disolved parliament failed and led to disolvement of parliament of then elected PM. Supreme Court has rejected it before. Handing over to Maoists? - isn't that going to be suicidal attempt! Release of Deuba and party - Is this a major issue? Let the Supreme Court decide on their fate. Constitutional assembly - why should we support Maoists demand? Bring peace and stability - is this demand be directed towards King only? or agitating political parties and Maoists as well? Human rights - What will be the real issue when UN body itself deployed it's monitors. It seems like we are just trying to protest for the sake of doing so without any substantive demands?
