Call Elections
It is true that without holding elections and bringing true representatives of people to power, the current political imbroglio is not going to be settled (“Call For Elections Date” SPOTLIGHT August 4). In that the role being played by civil society activists in demanding the immediate announcement of elections date must be welcomed by all and sundry. Such pressure from civil society will go a long way in resolving country’s crisis.

Mixture of Demands
The civil society has been making a mixture of demands and not just the announcement of elections date (“Call For Elections Date” SPOTLIGHT August 4). Most of their demands coincide with those of the Maoists such as dissolution of the House of Representatives. Does the civil society have any alternative in mind once the parliament is dissolved? How will such vacuum be filled? And how does that help in the strengthening of democracy? The civil society leaders should tell the people where they want to take the country.

Bravo, Civil Society
At a time when the political leaders have, more or less, failed to meet the expectations of the country and when an armed insurgent group is threatening to take over power, it is the civil society that has kept the democratic flame burning in the country (“Call For Elections Date” SPOTLIGHT August 4). It is hard to imagine how the country would have fared through these fluid times if there was no civil society.

Clarity Needed
Clarity from all parties essential is what Staffan de Mistura, the head of the UN assessment mission, said during his recent trip to Nepal (“Arms Of Discord” SPOTLIGHT August 4). That is the reality. Instead of discussing with other political parties, the government had invited the UN. It created confusion in the mind of political leaders of all parties. Having no capacity to judge the value of UN in Nepal , how could it expect more from the visit? The magic stick is not in the hand of UN rather in the compromise between seven parties and the Maoists.

Welcome Profile
To have given a page for profile is very admirable in the magazine. The profile of actor Nisha Sharma (August 4) is very welcome. Such artistes of society must be held in high regard so that they can become role models for others to follow. It would be very fun to read about such talented personalities. But only to give more emphasis to ladies continuously may be biased. So, I request you to give importance to both genders.

Lack of Trust
As I know the political situation of the country, the political leaders are not leading the country for the sake of people but for their position (chair). If they had contributed to the country, they would have already resolved the Maoist problem. All seven political parties and the Maoists have pride and ego. Therefore, they have not come to an understanding.

Arms Management
About the arms management , both sides have put forth their own argument . One is not ready to accept the position of other. That's why the debate over arms management has prolonged. There can be no deadline to resolve this issue (“Arms of Discord” August 4). On the one hand, they don't trust each other and, on the other hand, they can't overlook the status of other parties. If it persists, the problem may never end rather the same situation would repeat.

Worst Situation
There are very few people not to have knowledge about the political situation of our country. Political leaders have already lost their faith in Nepalese people. But still we people have a kind of belief towards them. Different political leaders have their own thought and feelings that have been leading them to come to this conclusion. In my opinion, the leaders know the needs of the present situation for the country, which is peace. But they have no time to think about people. They are thinking about themselves, how to earn money and how to use the facilities.
