Yea.
I have no problem with the trampling of bills, but I just don't understand why the
king is so eager to put his son in limelight. I have this feeling that putting Paras
in limelight always refreshes memory of June 1st, and probably impedes our
healing process as well as our (some what increasingly comfortable) perception
about new royals.The smiles of Paras provoke uncomfort in most of Nepali hearts.
King Gyanendra shouldn't be in hurry to seek acceptance for his wayward son.
It will be enough for now if he just tries to get acceptance for him, and assure
wounded Nepali people that he is there: innocent,frail, bereaved and just like most
of we Nepalese sandwitched between lupine rebels and legitimate rulers.
Nepalese people owe numerous apologies from his son. The scar is so deep that
it threatens even Gyanendra's legitimacy. By intermingling himself so freely with
Paras, the king ,wittingly or unwittingly, is trying to tell us that he is no different
from, or resembles very much with, his son.King Gyanendra's position in our
current politics is pivotal, but if he tries to parlay his importance for the benefit
of his family, he will be considered no different from other political leaders.
