haku, one honest question... u say 150,000 people (according to CNN news) participated in the demonstation inspite of curfew coz they were afraid of Maoists. Now if someone buys that argument , i have nothing to say to that person. Who will take to the street when there is curfew out of fear??? and that too 150,000 people? So, if u have ur relatives or friends in ktm, and if they havent gone to the streets for protests, have they been terrorised by Maoists for not going to the street??? oh ... give me a break, will ya
