Winds of change, Kantipur



The five-point agreement has laid the foundation for consensus politics. The political parties are in agreement on many contentious issues except the number of Maoist fighters to be integrated and the rank harmonization. If the agreement is honestly implemented, constitution writing is possible within the extended three months. However, there are still challenges to overcome.

Against all odds, leaders of different parties defended the CA extension. The next hopeful thing is improving relationship between the Maoists and theNC. The Maoists have been showing willingness to implement the past agreements while NC has shown flexibility in the issue of integration of the Maoist fighters. This has created an environment conducive for politics of consensus.

Nepal's peace process could become an example to the world. The public disenchantment could turn into hope and respect. For this, there are four points that political parties should take into account.

• Honest implementation of the agreements.
• Prioritisation of constitution writing.
• Flexibile and respectable integration of the Maoist combatants.
• A consensus government of the Maoists, NC, UML and Madhesi alliance.

The extremist faction in the Maoists should focus on how to include socialist and progressive elements in the new constitution and weed out wrong practices within the party.

It would be wise for the Maoists to give up arms and stop issuing threats of revolt. NC and UML for their part, must allow the Maoists to lead the government. Madhesi alliance should also know that if the CA is dissolved, they will be losers as well.



1. who cares
this is the face, who has been praising maosit violence. 

this is who takes terror gangs, terror tactics as an asset. 

(i have heard his saying so in TV).

on the one hand media promote the person like him and on the other hand media protest for beating media personnel. 



And media wants public support, ya!


maoist hates media, cause they are the pain in the ass.

mandalas hate media and blames them for everything.

today, democrats too are loosing faith from media.

just like shahs, maosit....... media too are unable to maintain their friends cause of their lack of principle, no honesty, misuse of their position...

The five-point agreement has laid the foundation for consensus politics.

If there was consensus then there would be no need for a five-point agreement.

When there is no consensus any number of xxx-point aggrements will be meaningless.
