PC Cooler's saying "एक मिनेट सारा तर्क/ बितर्क छाडेर आउनुहोस हरि श्रेस्ठ को हुन , हेरौ । is a classic Maoist-like rhetorical strategy of diverting the attention from serious issues to other issues. Once you start talking about Hari Shrestha in this manner, it's hard to go back with greater anger to the the fact that he -- an ordinary citizen -- was beaten up. For the record, I do NOT know Hari Shrestha -- and as a citizen, I am increasingly alarmed by these Maoist excesses all over the country. oohi ashu
