The arrogance of a dictator

The royal address was but an attempt to douse the revolution. The king decided that he would give back the rights to Nepalese people. He also asked the political parties to recommend a prime minister. The king then would empower him with executive power (perhaps only if he likes the candidate). That was too arrogant a remark.

Now this is our country, and we will decide who is going to head the government. We don’t want a king, especially if it is someone like Gyanendra. The revolution should continue till the king is brought to his knees. We don’t need a medieval ruler, we need a democratic nation.

Meanwhile, the police continue its brutality and barbarism. Many people were shot at from choppers yesterday. The horrendous scenes of protesters who were beaten up was shocking- ruptured heads, blood bathed body, broken legs. These policemen should be prosecuted in the court after the revolution demolishes the kingship.
