Shree5, In my opinion, it is not important as who spoke about republican set up or constituent assembly first. That is like a child's game. The important question is when to use it. Every Tom, Dick and Harry knows what republican set up is about and what constituent assembly is about. These are not like some one invented and deservs political patent. So, whether this Bhattarai piece of shiiittt had spoken it earlier or no has zero meaning. Yes, his integrated south asian development plan is no different than a fiction article. His article has no depth. It is connected from east to west, north to south and breaded with cryptic knots. That is all. He is leading a 2-tier of peoples. (a) Somewhat educated but egoist mass. You can find those arrogant schoolars spread in west as well. They all are "mauka ko faida" waala. (b) truely deprived people, deprived of education,deprive of job, different religion etc. He along with some other handful are masturbating their mind over these deprived people's need. I would not be surprised to read a news if someone from his camp kills him mercilessly Later....
