The failure of the three major parties to reach a consensus (till the time of going to the press) will not only create problems for the nation but also deprive them of the good will of their own countrymen. Their unending brawls are only widening the field for foreigners to nakedly interfere in Nepal’s internal affairs. It also reaffirms the charges against them that they are more interested to safeguard their personal and partisan interests rather than their nation’s interests. If they were really honest and patriotic, they would have no differences at all, as the nation’s interests are not divisible. Now, it has become crystal clear that these politicians have forfeited their right to rule the country. That’s why we have been emphasizing on the total change of political leadership. That’s why we have even broached the idea of counter-revolution to rid the country of these anti-national politicians. Our country, at the moment, needs he-men not pawns. Our continued exhortation to our poor but patriotic countrymen to rise and unite to safeguard the integrity of our country has become even more paramount and indispensable in the present circumstances. We must not forget that right action at the right time can only help us get over our problems. Else, we will keep on lamenting for the rest of our life.

Sitaram Yechuri, the communist leader of India, does not believe in subterfuge or subtlety. He likes to hit it straight and hard. If it is the best strategy for him, it does help his targets too. It provides them with ample time to make necessary preparations to defend themselves. Besides, it not only generates indelible resentment against such uncalled for bravado, but also strengthens the determination to resist the domineering behavior of the Indian statesmen and politicians. It is most unfortunate that statesmen like Yechuri lose sight of the fact that Nepal is, perhaps, the only country friendly to India amongst her immediate neighbors. Why is he so bent on in antagonizing the millions of friendly Nepalis? By winning over a handful of pliant politicians, Yechuri must understand, he has not won the hearts of millions of poor Nepalis. While his own country is facing myriad of problems with possible disintegrations, adding up more serious problem is neither advisable nor good statesmanship. Nepalis are very peace loving people. With the Prince of Peace, the Great Gautam Buddha, as their perpetual guide, they will always desist the aggressive role. But, history is witness, Nepal’s sons are always prepared to sacrifice their lives in defense of their country. If the impotent and selfish politicians do take such insults lying down, the millions of proud Nepalis will not. We trust our good Indian friends will treat us with the respect we deserve and command as a sovereign independent neighbor, with centuries of traditional friendship
