sayami how many of these unfortunate people did you or anyone else here in Sajha knew personally? They were poor people that the political parties used for their personal agenda. The kid got beaten, but the person who provoked a kid to go and protest was probably busy sending his children to some private boarding school. What do you expect the common cop to do? Get stones on their own head so that the communists can break all infrastructures of the country? What has Gyanendra done? What’s his offence? Not paying electricity bills and using state funds for personal agenda. I would rather have one Gyanenda taking peoples money rather then 55 of them (gyanendras) raping the country. Lastly, even the cops have a family and they want to go home without beating anyone. But they have to use force when things go out of hand. It’s the politicians who sold themselves to the Maoists who should be penalized and not the king who at least tried to save Nepal from harms way.
