Hats off to people standing up to the bullies of Maobadi who have no respect for rights of people who have different views. We should not let them come to power with their primitive goonda politics. They are Nepalese talibans.
Lets stand up againts these Gundas
It is time to defy the maoist bandh since it has devastated the lives of the innocent and honest public who live from hand to mouth. When you are forced to do something without your will, it is called bullying. And that is what the Maoist are trying to do. They are striving to dictate their way of ruling through the barrel of the gun since they believe in might is right.
If the maoist want to regain the authority in the government, they have to do it democratically, but not through force. They should not disrupt the lives of the people. The principle they should adopt is ” live and let live”. Not just live by themselves. For economic upliftment of the people they should follow the rule
of “first multiply and then divide” not ‘ first divide and multiply ” which they are adopting right now. They need leaders with broader outlook and attitude. The theories are just outdated and they are just misleading the unemployed youths making promises to build castles in the air.
Maoists are digging their own grave. I am having a feeling that in the next few years, there won’t be a maoist party since they are bunch of terrorists. Sadly, one day Baburam and Prachanda will be hung in public place. It is just a matter of time.
