The outcome of the people's movement has generated much hope after the confusing political turmoil that was engulfing the nation. The Maoist issue must not be brushed aside and should be addressed through sensible dialogue at the earliest. Otherwise the danger of re-igniting the chaos will be imminent. Failure on the part of the interim parliament would only signal a comeback of the forces adamant on achieving their goal of a communist republic.
