dissatisfied with petty partisanship: Former King
Gyanendra Shah (kh 03/04/2023) [The
problem lies less with the parties than with the
behaviour of their leaders. In 2006, the people were
similarly dissatisfied, not only with the royal system,
but especially with the coup-mongering monarch who
disregarded basic human rights! The people can influence
the parties because sovereignty lies with them. The
autocrat, which is what the word monarch means, only
needs the people as subjects.]

parties and institution of monarchy” (kh 19/02/2023)

former king issues a veiled warning to the political
parties, says he won’t keep mum : In his message issued
on the occasion of National Democracy Day, Gyanendra
Shah has accused political parties of corruption and
misrule, while also calling for coordination between
monarchy and political parties (nlt 19/02/2023), Former

from this disaster! The people fought for democracy in

staged a coup and ended the democratic hopes! This must
never happen again! The monarchy has been abolished and

without monarchy, and monarchy without democracy not
relevant in Nepal: Former King Gyanendra (kh
12/10/2021) [For all the
justified criticism of the failed elite of the leading
political parties, such open criticism of the
foundations of the modern Nepali state must not be
accepted! More than 17,000 people had to die before the
institution of monarchy, which was responsible for the
undesirable developments of the state for centuries, was
finally abolished. With statements like this, Gyanendra
is trying to exploit the failure of politicians to
create new suffering for the people. What is needed is
not a return to anti-democratic and authoritarian
monarchy, but an immediate replacement of the failed
party leaders by an upright and democratic generation of
politicians!]
