"They were facing charge of murder of IGP of Armed Police Force, Krishna Mohan Shrestha, along with his wife and bodyguard in January 2003." "Yesterday, the government withdrew ALL CRIMINAL cases against the Maoist leaders." And EVEN THEN -> [He added, "Our party will not come for talks (with the government) unless our prisoners of conscience are released."] ------------------------------------ I don't know but I felt sick to the bone although I am for murdering my inner soul and let Maoists come as a political force, run for election and THEN (ONLY), if they can, by/on their POLITICAL victory, come to government. It does pain me A LOT A LOT A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT, even to say the above statement, for I have never, in flesh, seen more disgusting and inhuman human look alikes. I have been so disgusted (words fail to describe) by their acts so much so that, my head and heart is a constant battle ground, and it is not easy. Actually it may not make an iota of a difference regardless of what I feel, I know, however it just might make a huge difference if very large portion of the population (no research done, just my heartfelt honest assumption) feel the same way. We talk about justice and this and that, punishing the supressors and what not. And we see, almost all the decisions are being made strictly as a political decisions, where logic had very less to do, if at all, and just sheer you-hit-me-once-I-hit-you-twice child like mentality at work; while the nation bears the cost of constant chop and fix. I say why not make Prachanda and Baburam joint Prime minister and and let them form the government and make them go for whatever election they can dream/imagine or can conceive of. Whatever little hope I had for peace and stability, and a dream of a beautiful Nepal is fading every day. I don't know man, but it just adds that much bitterness in me. My words, physically being so far away from the nation, might not add so much weight, but it does disturb me to see my country with so much potential, to be just another failed state. IndisGuise:(
