Chana tarkari, Right now it is the 21st century and you probably will not agree but capitalism drives everything. Even maoist are driven by capitalism that is why they extort money at every chance they get. If businessmen have to pay donations to the maoists for fear of their lives it's the MAOISTS who are to blame. You don't take the maoist rhetorics to blame the businessmen for donating to the Maoists! I'm not saying businessmen are the messiah or for that matter I am not claiming anyone to be the messiah. All i'm claiming is that the Maoists are the scum bags of this earth who use weapons to scare common ordinary citizens to loot them of their earnings, beat them like animals. Businessmen may have agenda of making money as you have said but business in itself means you provide something with the intent of making money. Such businesses run the economy. Sometimes because of inept governments, straight working businessmen have to bribe officials to get some work done, and also there will be few businessmen who are involved in deception, just like there are few criminals in any society. BUT, for an organized political party with access to weaponry, to stoop so low as to indiscriminately beat up public unarmed citizen, that is the most shameful thing that such a party is in the government and even thinking of winning the majority in the polls. If these maoists are able to let the elections happen, they will win the majority votes by using extortion and their rule of the gun, beating up/killing anyone who dissents. Once they win, you can only imagine what they will do. It is a shame that the government sits quietly while the Maoists are getting involved in extreme public harrassment. The Maoists who have misled the majority villagers with dreams of riches are finally setting them loose in the city to collect the riches they had been promised. If these leaders were able to deliver their promises of riches in a moral and legal manner it would have been all fine and good. But their way of acquiring money by victimizing other common citizens under the gun just shows what kind of hypocrites they are. At this point anyone trying to take the focus away from the maoist atrocities cannot be trusted. We don't need or deserve these maoists treating other nepalis like animals.
