As I pointed out in another thread, Senator Leahy is interested in Nepalese issue because of his interest in Tibet. I admire his support for Tibetan cause but at the same time he is plain wrong to say that the King ought to call the corrupt parties for a discussion. If the parties can come up with a well planned approach, I believe the King wont say no. Others may see it differently but the way I see is that the King took over because NC and UML could not agree on a simple task of selecting a PM. Now the King wants to hold elections and handover the power to the parliament - anything wrong with that? Yes, if the King doesnt hold true to his words to hold fair and free elections. But until then he has to be given the chance.
