Saroj, the issue was not only that a businessman was beaten up, but also that the protest against extortion was heard of only after a high-profile businessman was beaten up. So the obvious question was there on the nature of protest that are only for elites' interest. There were blatant extortion elsewhere which is still there but none of these influential social leaders and businessman talks about that. my problem was (and is) on that. Later other info revealed that the beaten businessman himself was of much lower moral, which further split the level of sympathy and support towards him. And in few days later, these businessman went into agreement with high-level maoist leaders to end the scuffle and taking the episode away from public, but what is happening now? Did that protest bring any good result in turn of so much public support and noise-polution? NO. The YCL is steal getting huge donation from these businessman paid to run the corrupt business, and public are suffering exactly the sameway as before. The things are in front of you to observe whether I was wrong in the past or now. By the way, I was just reading one of the recent maoist atrocite against a government officer, who was beaten in Bardiya until he lost conciousness. He had no money in pocket except Rs.2000, hardly survived from his death. Government has not paid any attention to his treatment, neither any ministers or top level officers expressed any concern. But the government is working to pay Rs 48 Crores for the maoist goons' salary @ Rs. 3000/month. Had there been a protest this time, I would definitely support for this poor government officer.
