Monarchy thro’ referendum says Thapa: I was duped says Nepal Ex-King

Telegraph Nepal

Kamal Thapa of Rastriya Prajatantra Party-Nepal was in Bardibas of Mahottari district April 13, 2012.

Talking to local scribes in Bardibas, Thapa once again declared that referendum should decide the fate of now sidelined constitutional monarchy, Hindu state and federalism.

“Our party has been observing that the so-called big parties are planning to complete the constitution drafting process in haste and in a trivial manner. We are certain that such a constitution will not be sustainable and could invite fresh conflict in the immediate future.”

“We are certain the constitution will not fulfill desires of the people”, Thapa continued.

“Our party will not take course of a revolt rather reach at every household to garner support in favour of the revival of monarchy”, claimed Thapa.

In the meantime, talking to Kalpit Parajuli of Asianews, former King Gyanendra Shah has complained that some senior political party leaders had betrayed him.

"A gentlemen agreement was reached between me and the senior political party leaders, which they failed to implement," he lamented.

"My role will be determined by the people's choice. For whatever role people choose for me, I have to be ready," the former King said in the media interaction and added, "We are not against other religions and we want co-existence, which will be the best model in Nepal. Majority Hindus should feel respect for other religions and cultural practices" because "this leads to religious harmony."

The former King talked to the catholic magazine on the occasion of Easter- Christian feast celebrating resurrection of Jesus Christ.

people need monarchical institution but people have right to give their verdict over it. People had not sent their representative in parliament or ex-king had not restablish the parliament to wipeout the moanrchical institution. But it was totally unfaire political game of late Girija Babu and other top political party leaders. PN Shah established this modern Nepal that is why so-called New Nepal political actors are enjoying in Nepal as their parental property.PM Bhattarai is one of the intellectual personality but he did not want or he did not know about the great contribution of the great King PN Shah even He cacelled the unification day of Nepal, PN Shah had done such kind of job.that is why we Nepali are very shame to see some act of so-called New Nepal top political actors.That is why if possible concerning people should give book of historical and political development of Nepal.But our top politcal leaders are intellectual but above that matters they are look like a childish manner.

It must be understood that there will be agreements between leaders of any country, so it is not surprising that Ex-King and top political leaders to must have signed agreements. Now, to honour the agreement or not is a different matter. It seems that the political leaders have defaulted on the agreement and thus we are at this stage in time and situation. We have seen how intellectual our leaders are. Sorry, but I find them as a bunch of Macacus monkeys. We have not given our verdict on Monarchy, Federalism or Secularism. These are the very basis of our identity and should be decided only through referendum and not through the 601 idiots. We put these idiots there to draft a constitution not to dismantle our very basic identity blocks. It is sad that we Nepalese have been grossly misguided by our leaders, neighbours, international community etc. We all know what needs to be done and what is happening, but have no platform to voice our concerns. This will certainly lead to a fresh civil war.

K ko another tactic. Has someone's eyes gone blind? Some supporters of daylight looters so called prime leaders of big parties are yet in illusion that they will build 10,000MW electricity in 10 years for them.
