Bhoonte is the real democrat of King G's version who wants to shut up every mouth that opens in favor of democracy ( 7 parties). Where is the freedom of speech in your democracy? So far talking about the connection of parties with the maoist, this is the palace who tactically promoted maoist against the parliamentary system and used them to prove that democracty is failure. In the initial phase, the maoist killed only NC members, few UML members, piuso sipahis of Police. They didn't touch the army. There was a kind of undisclosed understanding that the maoist and army would not provoke each other. it was even heard that the two commanders of either side waved or shook hand with each other whenever they met. After the Royal massacre, the maoist said that there was a kind of undisclosed understanding between them and king Birendra. What does this mean? Girija had wanted to deploy army against the maoist but the army didn't co-operate and as a result he had to step down and Sher Bahadur got chance to become PM. During several round of dialogue with the Sher's government, the maoist first time realized that the palace is just double crossing. So, they stretched their guns to military installations. When political parties were in the government, General Sahebs like Satchit Samsher, Gadul Samsher, and royalist Ramesh Nath Pandey etc kept saying that the maoists are also the son of Nepalese and that their issues should be politically addressed... Applying all these tactics, the palace sidelined the parties and now they are trying to prove the connection between the parties and the maoists so that they can treat them equally...BUT..its not so simple. Now the equation has changed. It was necessary to recognize the power of maoists and address their issues and this is what the parties have done. The king should capitalize this chance to disarm the maoists and persuade them to come to main political stream. BUT the king has nothing to do with the main political stream. His mainstream is to establish his dictatorship and own supremacy. Nobody can shut up the mouth that speaks democracy. The mouth that speaks autocracy will shut up itself sooner or later.
