Maoist Hold Over Illiterate Population
Dear Mr. Shah,
I agree whole heartedly your story about how these Godless and faithless Maoist leaders are terrorising and dismantling the country into ruins.
Unfortunately, due to the literacy rate being less than 30%, these evil doers will keep on manipulating the innocents by recruiting them with stolen arms and then train them to kill anyone and feed them with whatever they can loot and steal.
So if tomorrow these tyrants come back to power again and again, it is only because they have blinded the poor and illiterate and showed them that the root to success is by taking up arms in the name of their idol Mao Tse Tung who happened to create the worst genocide by killing 55 million of his own people.
Keep up the great work. The world needs to know what actually is happening to our once peaceful country. Maybe 20 years ago corruption was becoming rampant but at least nobody was getting killed or had to fear for their lives nor was safety an issue.
Imagine where Nepal would be today if people had come out on the streets to demonstrate against corruption and such issues; instead of demanding multi party syetem. In a country where literacy is so low, a multi party system becomes a concern. Look where the decision of 1990 brought us today.
