Telegraph Nepal

Waning nationalism and deteriorated political condition of the country is equally painful to me like every other citizens of the country, said Nepal’s former King Gyanendra Shah.

He made these somewhat sentimental remarks during his brief encounter with media persons at the Peace Palace Hotel in Baglung, September 22, 2012.

“You all are aware of the present situation of the country more than me. I find none pleased with the present situation. I am equally worried like every other citizens,” he added.

“I am travelling across the country with religious intention. But, as I meet people on my visits they begin complaining about waning nationalism and deteriorated political condition.”

Shah paid homage at the Kalika Temple in Baglung and while talking to local women he said, “I quit because I was told to do so by the public. Let us see what happens in the future.”

In Baglung he also met with local businessmen, industrialists and cadres of Rastriya Prajatantra Party-Nepal.

President of Nepal Red-Cross Society, Baglung Mr. Jabbar Bahadur Lamichane broke into tears while talking to the former king. He expressed his worries over the sorry state of the country and nationalism. He is a UML cadre as well.Reports have it that some local NC party leaders also met the former Monarch in dark.

  • There should be no Congress, no UML, no Maobadi, no RPPN, no Madheshbadi and others when the nation comes to this sorry state. We all must become Nepali to save Nepal. Red Cross man realized this truth. Like him, we all know it is the King's guardianship Nepal and Nepali need for the survival. We can continue to be Nepali only if we bring Monarch to his right place. We have no time to think, we are running late. King Gyanendra is not just the king of some, he is the King of all Nepali people.

You better think of how to raise the democracy we have to it's maturity. At the present situation our democracy is too young in a childhood stage thus no one understand the meaning of true democracy yet.. Let it grow and help it fix rather.
