The coming together of the seven parties and the Maoist party should be welcomed cautiously by all as a positive development. I hope both these camps are able to honor the spirit of the agenda [which is beautiful on paper] they have agreed to and move forward with it like a bulldozer, whatever the detractors say. Some of the people who have commented on this thread above are merely parroting the government line. I think they get their information from the likes of Former Army Chief Satchit SJB Rana, Foreign Minister Pandey and Info & Communications Minister Tanka Dhakal.
