Collecting people for public felicitation ( Nagarik Abhinandan) and paying them money are the the characteristics of King and his slaves. There are always people with parties and no need to pay money to gather them. The idea of Khaobadi that Prachanda sponsored the rallies in USA is just a mental collapse of a Royalist. Do you have any source, reasoning and a gut in your statement? Actually these are the Royalists who helped to lift the maoists up. When parties were in the government, Generals like Satchit Samsher, Gadul Samsher etc never stopped saying that maoism is a political issue and should be politically solved. That nonsense Ramesh Nath Pandey who is minister now used to say the same thing. The fact is not hidden that Girija tried to mobilize the army against the maoist, but Army never co-operated. Girija had to step down just because royal army commander shook hand with maoist counterpart in Holeri. Now, Girija and Makune and other political parties have recognized the maoist force and realized that problem will not be solved until maoists issues are addressed but its shame on the royalists that they see Maoist funding on democratic movement.
