I haven't been able to watch the telecast but I just read the excerpts on Kantipur, BBC and CNN and the thing that struck me is, unlike 1990, he seems to have taken this decision on his own without consulting the political parties. This is a huge gamble, in my opinion, on the part of the King and does not help build trust between the King and the parties. Without such trust it is hard to see how this move by the King can result in peace and reconciliation. Waiting for reaction from the parties.
