His purely Nepalese moustache, his old faded cap and his surprisingly plump physiognomy tells a lot about this person we were thinking to be hinderance to peace process of Nepal.Dinesh Sharma.As young as other prominent Maoist leaders, this boy looks straight from a village of peasants somewhere in midwestern Nepal where his brethrens are waging a justifiable, yet untenable, war against the establishment of Kathmandu. So this is Dinesh Sharma, another blip in Nepalese politics who ,almost like Madan Bhandari of 2047, surprisingly appears before government sponsored press meeting and renounces something for which he was apprehended and detained.(He should have been kept very well,though.His rotund face, and anything but gangling physique may well look capitalistic to his comrades back in jungle.) The government outplays itself, while these two militant leaders repudiate their own statement once being released, and slap the government in its face!! (Well, who told the government to believe these sly commies?) I am surprised that , though well intentioned, how dullard our police force or the government are, how naively they think that people can just give up their faith under the coercion.My feeling is that our government should not even try that.Why to try to change somebody's political conviction? Just for having some hours'"mut ko nyaano"? I don't know why they released Dinesh Sharma? He should have been charged and kept in custody, but with legal means. The situation is such that, the government is ready to forgive everybody who killed people in the name of Maoists, and the government is also ready to forgive every police who killed common people in the name of countering Maoists!!
