I agree with everything Indis Guise has put forth here. And regarding the level of atrocities and abuse of power committed by each group, I would like to ask who holds the barometer? The group who is in power? Exactly. That is why we need to build a system of law that is fair and equal to everyone. If royalists are to be punished, so should the corrupt party leaders, and inhumane maoists. We cannot let anyone escape punishments that are long due to them. And using the need of peace and excusing Maoists of the crimes they have committed just shows the lack of fair play which is undemocratic. If their terror can cripple the laws and the ones who implement them, it is high time we change both.
