All of the three principal players in Nepal- Political Partieis, Maoists and Monarchy have seemingly enough unrighteous political issues/causes to ‘justify’ their action, relevance and existence (that might be the reason why they are termed as contemporary three forces of Nepal!). Essence of human rights, freedom of expression, multiparty democracy, independent judiciary etc. are the enough political issues which could not be out rightly rejected even by “autocratic” King and “totalitarian” Maoists in 21st century. That’s why we see Prachanda/Baburam and King preaching us “Democracy”. This is to suggest that when all these essences are curtailed or abrogated by King in the cities (20% of Nepal) and by Maoists in the villages (80% Nepal) there always lies the relevance of peaceful protests and agitation by political parties. Well! The irony is that though they claim to be fighting for the causes of democracy they themselves w/are never true democrats by any means. They need to practice true intra-party democracy before they vow to fight against autocratic King. They never realize that their selfish and anti-people attitude resulted in Maoist problem and eventually gave berth of another tyranny- KG. Maoists always try to justify their never justifiable ‘War against Nation’ saying that their war is against feudal system and for the salvation of the poorest of the poor including substantial indigenous populace of Nepal. The irony is that it looks like 99.99% of the individuals that were killed were not feudalist at all. They have committed sufficient crime that their core leaders would clean their hands stained with blood of innocent and poor fellow Nepalese. I doubt even if they come to public the soul of the innocent dead will hunt them and bring them to their graveyard sooner or later. King tires to justify his autocratic move on his own way saying that he needs 3 years of autocratic regime to bring back true democracy so that corruption and misdeeds of the leader could never be repeated. The biggest irony is that he is the most unnatural, accidental and illegitimate head of the state that Nepal has ever witnessed. He was never expected by any Nepalese to be the King of Nepal. He was not selected by the representatives of Nepal. His kingship is the result of massacre of Late King B in unusual and unbelievable circumstances. He is above the Law and has freedom not to be accountable to Nepalese citizens. He has the most notorious and hated son. By no means, a King could be a true democrat but KG is destined to establish true and functional democracy. We are going through extremely difficult situation where majority of Nepali don’t have an option to choose a credible national force that ensure their well being and freedom. There is nothing more than to hope it that in near future new leaderships with vision and national program to adequately address regional and socio-economic problems will emerge out and they get established within Parties lead the Nation.
