By time we are preparing this write up the nation's political situation is as appalling as could not be even imagined of. The situation is getting out of control by every passing split of a second.

Under such upsetting circumstances never experienced in the history of modern day Nepal what else could be appealed to the confronting sides other than to forge a sort of rapprochement in between and amongst themselves in order to save their own motherland from being dubbed as a FAILED STATE as some alien forces would very much prefer to see.

By now what has also become pretty clear that the Nepali brothers living in the jungles and struggling for a cause too were a huge force whose strength can in no way be dismissed now. Certainly the rebels were big forces which the powers that be in Kathmandu should recognize and manage them to come to the mainstream politics by allowing them a smooth entry into the system.

That the King now has become flexible enough what the people appeal to him is to exhibit some more flexibility in order to allow those some space who have not been a part of the competitive politics for a decade or so and who have through various channels expressed their fervent desire to join the multi-party politics. It is time that their desire be translated into action for that both the state and the rebels need to treat each other as friends more so brothers who were the sons of the same soil. They both should allow concessions to each other to the extent that is permissible. The state as being the guardian must exhibit greater accommodation for the other camp and the other must abandon violence in order to make the people feel that they were really a changed lot and were very much willing to be a part and parcel of the multi-party system.

It is high time that the estranged forces of the good old days to come together and serve the nation in a better way.

May wisdom prevail on all the sides and tackle the deteriorating situation in the larger interest of their own nation.

The King, the political parties and the Maoists are hereby appealed to understand each other and work for the prime interest of the country by forging an unbreakable bond. The international community, we presume in such an eventuality, will extend all its support to make today's sick and ailing Nepal a more thriving economy, a vibrant democracy and a better place to live in.

After all fighting with our own brethren will do more harm than good as some might have in their minds.

We therefore presume that all the stakeholders in the current political situation would exhibit their inner wisdom to make a better future for the Nepalese people for whom peace has already become a rare commodity.

Presumption could be made that some mechanisms could well be made in order to accommodate those Nepali brethren who wish to serve the country through their own physical presence in the country's politics. What is the harm in managing their smooth entry into the system if they mean it as promised to their colleagues scattered in different political camps of the country? However, what should be the mode or how such a mechanism is developed should be well brought under consideration of the experts who will later explore the ways and mean for such an entry. Excessive use of violence by any side and the loss if any would mean that we were losing none other than our own Nepali souls which will further weaken our national strength.

The appeal has been made with a hope that all will listen to us and act accordingly. God bless this nation.
