apparently, not everyone has to get anything from anyone to raise their voice for/against anybody. Maoists, if committed for multiparty democracy be it in republic or ceremonial backdrop, surely deserve a chance. as i have been saying, they have consistently raised the issue of social disparity that our country have been suffering for centuries and have been fighting for it for a decade. nepal's problem lies in the form of social disparity, that's the crux. if they dont restrict themselves withing the norms of multiparty democracy, then that will only lead to their own downfall. however, on a personal note, i don't believe that they will let that to happen.
