Just an analysis of current situation.

Over last few weeks many things has happened. Iran war started again, CJP protest, UK India FTA getting final touches. But one thing thats always on my mind i guess many of urs too why government has not responded yet to Wangchuk's fasting.

Now when two party negotiating in a good faith can come to a position that neither may like but acceptable to both. But that condition fails irreversibly when one party declears a irrevocable threat and take the other hostage. So in negotiation this is very common rule: when one party burns all the brigdes behind gains the upper hand by loosing all options but he is can never yield while the other must decide alone.

Now this case mr. Wangchuk has done the same. Taken the government hostage by irrevocably offering his life as collateral. Government reads this from his own position. Yielding now not only means answering to Mr. Wangchuk rather giving a road map for future movements. once granted a presidence it can never be recalled off.

Now the most unsetteling part, the cost asymmetry. The cost of yield for the government is unbounded and unknow. While not yielding would create utter humiliation, negative press and other challenges it is none the less bounded and predictable. Further, society will move on as we have very short term memory.

This is why the silence persists.
