Nope, nothing can justify the culture of violence and murder of the maoists, however hard you may try. Prachanda is a mass murderer just like Stalin. Period. Also, we have set a very dangerous precedent by surrendering to Maoists voilence. The people and the nation should have taken a strong and unwavering stand against terrorism. We should have made it very clear that terrorism was unacceptable in any shape or form. I think the recent turn of events have proven that terrorism pays and has emboldened and encouraged the sections of our society that have grievences against the state to take up arms. Just watch, there will be another armed rebellion by another group soon. Nepal is in for a long haul. I mean in a society there are going to be diverse views and voices. You don't kill people to have it your way. Killing people isn't the answer. The nation should have been very clear on that.
