Saroj, you are trying to touch your left ear by right hand, but from rear side. Fight for democracy is not for establishing Girija or Madhav in power but for srtengthening people's right and leading country towards more prosperity, peace and development. In democracy, important are the people, not the leaders. If we can enthrone the leaders in power, we can also dethrone them. Nobody gets concession in democracy. How long have we been exercising democracy in Nepal to judge democracy VS politicians? People are the source of power and sovereignity of the country, not a particular leader or a person.Just for the reason that we are dissatisfied with a particular ABC or XYZ leaders, we should not be pessimist about the whole democratic system. At this moment, not supporting democratic movement showing the reason of bad leaders is to indirectly support the autocratic regime and I believe, Saroj, knowingly or unknowingly, you are supporting the royal regime who shuts off mobile and phones and imposes curfew in the country to protect his rule. The country is in chaos and Kathmandu itself is not safe, but he is in the tour to be "heard and seen" by people. This is the time for him to be in capital, talk to the rebels and dissidents and find a sustainable solution of the problem. How long can he shutt off communication? How long can he rule in the country with the help of "curfew"?
