Wobbling to normalcy
This refers to the news story entitled "Dr
Bhattarai to head 5-member Maoist dialogue team, bandh withdrawn," dated February 3,
2003, TKP.
This is pleasant news to every Nepalese who
wants to see peace returned after the seven-year-long People’s War. The Maoists have
at last realised that they had done much harm by destroying infrastructures, displacing
millions of people and paralysing the country’s economy. But how will the kith and
kin of the dead take the present political development? The now sidelined political
parties will raise this question.
The country is certainly showing some signs of
returning to normalcy. However, the time will certainly bring to light how mercilessly the
Maoists have killed innocent people. Let us wait and watch how the hidden agenda between
the Maoists and the government works.
