Former Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry has called for clarity regarding the 2000 coup, which marked the violent removal of his government. However, he remains skeptical that George Speight, the man behind the coup who was recently released from a 24-year prison sentence, will provide the truth about the events. Chaudhry expressed a pessimistic outlook, believing that the full truth about the 2000 coup—alongside similar events in 1987 and 2006—will likely never be uncovered due to the influence of vested interests that prefer to keep the real circumstances hidden. He emphasized that the victims of the violence perpetrated by Speight’s group seek only to prevent a recurrence of such political upheaval in their country.
