I think the Government should not be too hasty to label the Maoist the "Terorists." This will only escalate the situation. There will be nothing but bloodshed. More people will die as a result. King Gyanendra's place in Nepal remains very very questionable now. He called Deuba "Inept" but he proved himself that he is just as a looser as is/was the former, if not more.
By all means the Thapa administration should focus on ensnaring the rebels to come on the table one more time with their safety conditions and what not that was carved earlier, intact.
Maoism in Nepal is a bi-product of over many years of suppression by the so called Royals and thier puppets. For the welfare of Nepal and the nepalese, gyanendra and his family should seek a safe heaven else where. (if he does not, I give him 10 years. Shah dynasty in Nepal will be history.)
The negotiation table should be monitored by the UN and the EU. Constitution shoule be rewritten or modified. if the Bastard maoists don't agree then there is really no alternative but to use force. In this case, Nepal must seek for international intervention.
Nepal must seal the southern border so the bastards can't escape and see how long they can sustain. I would use nerve gas anihalate the bastards.
Ohmm Shanti....
What an irony!!! phew!! My blood is boiling now.

MohanGopal, you are too late, government has already called them terrorist and maoist have already resorted to their second plan. King does not care, many people wish that we does not come back. Their attack will not limit to civilians now. They will kill political heads and anyone body who are considered parasite of the Nepal, trust me that will include the family member of people who are in the States as well.

Best option is always to go for poll. So ask the people whether they want constituent assembly or not? do they want King or not?
If anybody cares for Nepal, then is not this that simple ? Why do not govt want to go for constituent assembly? Leave this to people to judge what they want and not. Who are they to judge this is good for nepal and nepalese?
Leave this to nepalese to decide how they would like to see nepal? either republic or monarchy? One can only argue saying that, this is good and that is bad, but can not claim. To claim, one has to see what the majority have to say.

Why would King's representative not want to hold constituent assembly?
Could it be that the king has no faith on his subjects, such that they might vote in the republic and vote out the monarchy in totality, should the constituent assembly be called?
Could it be that he is realizing that monarchy is less of a contributor and more of a receiver in the nation's development? Even more so, is he realizing that citizens are realizing the same?

ohh ya it was in the news recently
read the following article,there is a paragraph there which quotes kamal thapa saying the maoist rejected the referendum
Maoists shying away from the people: Government
POST REPORT
KATHMANDU, Aug 25 : A day after the chief Maoist negotiator Dr Babu Ram Bhattarai issued a seven-day ultimatum to the government demanding acceptance of constituent assembly elections, the government today strongly flayed the Maoists for being bent on thwarting the peace process.
"It is obviously their intention to leave the dialogue table through sticking to one-point demand of constituent assembly elections," said Minister for Information and Communication Kamal Thapa, one of the government negotiators.
Speaking at a discussion programme organised by the Reporters Club in the capital today, Thapa said the "surprising," views of the Maoists expressed through Bhattarais statement may result into a derailment of the ongoing peace process.
The future of peace talks and cease-fire, Thapa said, would now depend on the Maoists action. "We will not be the first party to breach the cease-fire agreement but certainly will not refrain from retaliating if the Maoists adopted violent means again," said Thapa.
"If violence erupts again, the Maoists should be fully responsible for future consequences," he said, "The ball is in the Maoists court whether to push the country to war or give continuity to the peace process."
The strong words indicate the governments resoluteness in dealing with the Maoist ultimatum. Thapa said that the Maoists refusal to enter into a comprehensive discussion on the demands and agendas of both the sides during the third round of talks "has made us suspect that they dont want amicable solution to present problems."
He said that the government was still open to discussing all the issues including the demand for constituent assembly elections but did not want to take it as a pre-condition for talks.
Thapa also urged the Maoists to make their stance clear on the issue of sovereignty, multiparty democracy and constitutional monarchy established which he said were the achievements of the 1990 Peoples Movement.
He said the people were not ready to accept the constituent assembly elections without knowing the Maoists stance on the issues.
According to Thapa, the major factor responsible for the stalemate in the talks process was that the Maoists never wanted to accept the existence of other political forces throughout the talks and wanted to establish themselves as the winning party.
"We have concluded that the Maoists have no intention to go to the people but tactfully capture the state power," said Thapa. He also disclosed that the Maoists had refused the government proposal for holding referendum to decide the fate of constituent assembly claiming that it was a Panchayati practice, and also rejected the government proposal to sign a joint commitment for continuity of peace process.
Meanwhile, todays cabinet meeting discussed the Maoists intention to run away from the dialogue table. The meeting decided to put all the security agencies on high alert from Aug 29 considering the future actions of the Maoists. MMinister Thapa also hinted at possible intensification of security arrangements countrywide considering the possible untoward incidents due to the Maoists exit from the talk process and the five party movements.
"The reserved buses without route permit will not be allowed to enter he valley and security personnel will be asked to frisk the passengers," said the source.
According to the sources, the cabinet meeting decided to form all-party committtees comprising of the members of dissolved bodies at all the 4000 local bodies which were vacant since mid-July 2002.
The sources at the Ministry of Local Development, however, denied any attempts to make all party committees in place of the government employees-run committees. "Even homework in this field has not been carried out yet."

What was the position of the Kathmandu establishment on the issue regarding the socio-political and socio-economic state of reality of the various indigenous ethnic groups of the country which have now become an integral part of the rebel movement ?
Has the Kathmandu establishment delivered any agendas on this regard ?
