Needless death
It was with great pain that I read the tragic
death of the 10-year-old Deepak Gurung ("Boy goes to school never to return
home," September 9) of Mahendra Rastrya Secondary School. I ask all the Maoist
cadres, under Dr Baburam Bhattarai, what are you going to achieve by killing innocent
children?
I do not believe that violence or terror is the
right way to achieve anything. A revolutionary leader who is earnestly dedicated to the
task of revamping the country’s political system must not use terror tactics just to
exact concessions. Since 1996, Nepal has been witnessing more violence against innocent
people than against the establishment. I hope the rebels become "humane" and
avoid violence. As yesterday’s incident showed, innocent children and women are going
to be needless victims.
