ज्ञाने को मुखमा कालो। बिचरा ले देसमा सुरक्षा ब्यबस्था राम्रो छ भनेर सम्बोधन गर्नु भन्दा अगाडि नै त्यत्रो सैनिक र पुलिस मरेको खबर मेडिया मा आउनु। तर के गर्नु बिचरा लाइ जनता सँग झुट्टो नबोलि नहुने, भन्यो सबै झुट्टा हरु।

जे भए पनि माहिला साहु अब तिम्रो काल धेरै टाढा छैन नडराउ।

Chairman Prachanda has shown the decency of paying rich tributes to his comrades killed in Palpa. Chairman Gyanendra aka Mahila Sahu has no such decency. He lets his loyalists die like flies.

Who ever died in unfortunate clash in palpa... we nepalese should cry for it.... coz all those died in the class are nepaese...and those who killed them are also nepalese...
"IT SUCKS WHEN WE HAVE TO READ THE NEWS NEPALESE KILLING NEPALESE"

ear All,

I had seen many feedbacks in many nepal-related blogs. Most of the people are telling that neither Royal palace (people from royal palace) nor political parties (its people not the party itself) nor maoists (its members not the party) are good for ruling the country. I am also with the same view. But, everyday a question arises on my mind : “So, who should be the one whom we all can trust ?”, “Who should be the one under the leadearship of whom the country could be benefitted ?”, ‘Do we have any idea on that ?” “What kind of system should Nepal adopt so that people could be benefitted ?”.

Why is there no option for us to choose except members of current political parties or maoists members or royal palace members ?

If we have option can anybody tell me specifically what kind of system we are looking for ? Who (Specific person or parties or anything you could think of) under whose leadership the country can benefit ?
If we don’t have answer to these key questions then we all are fighting in vain and for nothing.

I appreciate your participation.

Thank you,
A Dhakal
