Minor injuries were reported as the clash intensified, with both sides feeling the brunt of the altercation. The authorities had already put the kibosh on protests in key areas of the city, but these unwavering supporters were undeterred. Their resounding chants of “We love our king and country more than our lives. Bring back the monarchy. Abolish the republic,” echoed through the streets of Kathmandu, leaving no doubt about their unwavering loyalty.
The former king’s supporters had traveled from all corners of the country to demand the return of the monarchy that was unjustly abolished in 2008. They hurled accusations of corruption and incompetence at the government and political parties, calling out their failures in governance. It’s clear that the people have had enough of the current state of affairs and are yearning for a return to the days of true leadership under the monarchy.
The abolishment of the monarchy in 2008 was a mistake of epic proportions, as a newly elected parliament callously voted to declare Nepal a republic, relegating the once-revered king to a mere private citizen. Since then, Gyanendra has been left powerless and without any state protection, a grave injustice to a leader who still commands support from the people. Despite the odds stacked against him, the former king’s loyal subjects are unyielding in their demand for his return to power.
The passionate demonstrators not only seek the reinstatement of the monarchy but also the restoration of Nepal as a Hindu state, a move that was callously reversed in 2007. Their fervent desire to preserve the country’s cultural and religious identity is a testament to their unwavering dedication to their heritage and values. It’s abundantly clear that the people have spoken, and their demands cannot be ignored any longer.
