It has been six days since the seven party alliance announced its peaceful movement and already there is a distinct change in the air. Those who had given up are seeing a new ray of hope and a solution to the ongoing conflict. The movement has been so successful that even the Maoists are now claiming it as their own. The reason? This movement has received huge support from the public in six days, more than the support the Maoists received in the last 10 years of their so-called struggle. It is quite clear that the public wants a peaceful solution. An end to this conflict is not possible unless the Maoists give up arms and this movement has provided impetus toward a peaceful solution. The royal regime, which calls the Maoists \'terrorists' just to prolong its rule, is now running scared. The Home Ministry barred a peaceful rally in Baneswor and jailed Krishna Pahadi, revealing just how insecure Home Minister Kamal Thapa really is. Dear citizens, now is the time to make an assertive decision, one that will not only end the oppressive royal regime but also discourage the Maoists' love for guns and violence.
