hello all,
i am not sure if I have this right, but today , I read on nepalnews.com that the govt might reimpose the emmergency today.

Ok fair enough , I understand that the "terrorists" are more powerful successful in thier means without the emmergency.

However, elections are coming up in November, now if I am not mistaken the emmergency powers are such that, the current govt. has a higher level of power than the opposition. Is not it unfair for the govt. be be in emmergency rule/extended level of power during the voting time.

The press is not going to be free either, since that is also another element of being on alert.

Now , is the govt. planning to eventually lift the emmergency during elections, and the one that might be imposed tomorrow will hold from now to elections , or are elections going to be in this uncomfortable level of state?

If the emmergency prevails while govt. has extended powers, do you think it will be a fair trial?
