On Thursday, thousands of protesters in Nepal’s capital Kathmandu urged the return of the monarchy in the Himalayan nation after ending in 2008.
The Nepal has been a republic with a President since the end of the monarchy, but some citizens are calling the king to restore the king and with recently elected governments to create Hinduism among the disintegrating groups.
‘We love our king more than our life’
Gyanidra Shah, the rich east king who still lives in Kathmandu, is 77 years old. The monarchy lasted for 239 years in Nepal before Shah was out.
The protesters said, “Bring the king back to the throne and save the country. We love our king more than our lives.”
The protesters have not only been disappointed with the political class of Nepal, but the country’s economic condition.
Many Naplis leave for employment opportunities abroad in the United Arab Emirates, South Korea and Malaysia and send the money back.
As major parties against the idea, the monarchy is unlikely to return
Nepal’s current position as a Republic and Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Oli was performed far and wide as Kathmandu Meyer Meter (Foot).
Hundreds of riot police were deployed to hold divided boards and supporting republic groups in Nepali capital. Many people died due to a similar silent performance in March.
Although some Nepali citizens want the monarchy to return, the three major political parties of the country who control most of the seats in Parliament are against the idea.
In addition, there are only 13 seats in the Pro-Monark Restrian Prajatantra Party in the Parliament, which means that it has a little impact on the political trajectory of the country.
