I might sound like a fanatic of the king-but trust me, i'm not. the only reason i'm speaking for him is bcoz given the choices his far more better. in the past 10-12 yrs, he atleast tried sincerely to resolve the problem and all he got in return was hatred for doing so with the the false propoganda spread among the ppl of the country-thanks to our irresponsible leaders and our biased press. it is good to be optimistic but again at the same time one has to be realistic too. some of us in this thread seem to be overly protective abt the selfvested maoist leadership and india. even if we forget for a moment the fact dat they have taken thousands of lives and displaced 300000 ppl, how can we even start trusting them (maoist) when they say dat even the verdict of the ppl is unacceptable to them (i'm referring to their stance abt monarchy here). they have made it clear dat even if thru referendum the ppl went for monarchy they would be against it. isn't dat an example of being selfvested?? india and its leaders wishing for the best for nepal. dats a load of crap too.......wot neighbor harbors a internationally recognized and tagged terroist (i'm referring to prachanda the last mofwker)who has been issued a redcorner notice? as for the political parties, still don't think they're true to the ppl. they have already started squabbling abt issues to the primeminstership during the interim govt. i don't think dat says much abt their being responsible towards ppl.
