Thank you for your excellent editorial ('Never too late', #124), which is politically correct. As we go back to 1990 movement and think for a minute what went wrong and who made big mistakes by using the blood of hundreds of people in the streets, it was the leadership who surrendered for their own class interest and undermined the mandate given by the people. If the 1990 movement had been completed, we Nepalis would have gone far further in building the nation. I wish our leaders would read this editorial carefully and think about their role once again and let the new generation take a lead in the political process now, which, I'm sure, would help towards bringing a lasting solution by breaking the current vicious spiral. Our leaders also must understand that traditional ways of leading politics are not going to work now. They should encourage their young successors to become more dynamic, so that the new leaders are more accountable to the people and sincere to the nation.
