. Give Maoists a chance? Well, they failed horribly in the 2047 election...so they went underground. Let's not forget that. So far, Maoists say one thing and do another. They rule by the politics of Fear.....The style of governance is authoritative....everyone will follow what they say or will get killed.......... I agree with you Knightcrawler. Also, there is no question of approving the current protest programmes done with support of Maoists. It should be and will be supressed at any cost unless the parties disassociate themselves from the Maoists. Otherwise,what kind of example are we going to set? As past week has shown, there is absolytely no chance of this protest being successful to achieve democracy. If they leave Maoists behind, I think they have a better chance in the future.
