There's
Optimism
THE peace process seems
to be moving ahead in the right direction as the coordinator and other members of the team
of CPN (Maoist) for the talks with the government have come out of their hiding. This is a
positive gesture in the sense that the government had made the necessary arrangements for
creating the conducive atmosphere. The government's commitment and willingness for the
peace talks is in no doubt at all. The cease-fire declared two months back is holding good
and that speaks for how much urgency to end violence for good is being felt by all. The
country's sufferings in the past seven years cannot be written in figures but when the way
points to a better future it must be followed. There is no other requirement for
development and prosperity than peace and the zeal to work for the good of all.
The Maoists too seem to
have shown that they are ready to work for the "logical conclusion of peace
talks". This means much to the Nepalese people in general. They have also expressed
that peaceful political means would result in lasting peace being in place in the country.
The government has always reiterated its stands on a peaceful solution. All through,
acting on its allotted tasks, it has remained steadfast and committed to bringing about a
peaceful conclusion to the peace talks to be initiated with the Maoists. The cease-fire
itself is the result of the dire need for normalcy in the country. The response too has
been encouraging. The days ahead will, hopefully, see the country coming out of its
difficult days. Once peace returns there is bound to be a spurge in development activities
for which the aspirations had been when the new millennium made its entry. A greater sense
of dedication has to be present once the peace talks between the government and the
Maoists come to the desired conclusion. The scenario at present banks on optimism and
there is enough of it. With commitments and desire for peace from both the sides, it may
not be inappropriate to see lasting peace becoming a reality in the not so far future.
