This is a clear case of a writer who is absolutely unaware of the ground realities in Nepal. Mr. Bidwai seems to have his own agenda of promoting leftist ideology and even downplays the atrocities of Naxalites! Maoists in Nepal are an expanded version of Naxalites in India. I wonder how he would react if whole India was facing Naxalite issue (not one or two Indian states).
As a matter of fact -people are fed up with Maoists insurgency in Nepal. They have been waiting for someone to take a strong action, and the king has rightly done so. Nepalese in general are extremely happy with his decision except a bunch of politicians, who have misruled the country over a decade. Arm chair intellectuals such as Mr. Bidwai can never appreciate the improving situation in Nepal. One just needs to visit government office anywhere in Nepal to see the results firsthand.
This comment is from someone like me who was grown up in Nepal and felt sad to watch situation going from bad to worse, day by day.
