While talking to journalists on Tuesday, UCPN (Maoist) Leader and former Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai said that he would have thrown the former King Gyanendra Shah behind the bars if he was the Prime Minister of the country. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Former Prime Minister Dr Bhattarai made such remarks at a time while a voice, albeit subtle, is emanating in favour of the deposed monarchy from a section of the political quarter. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
A leader of the Nepali Congress, speaking with BBC Nepali News Service, questioned the legitimacy of overthrowing the monarchy, and recently, Dr Bhattarai’s one-time communist compatriot Mohan Baidya also hinted towards the possibility of collaboration with the dethroned King on the issue of nationalism. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The remark by a former Prime Minister to jail the ex-king obviously begs a question: Why should an ex-king, innocent of crime and rendered to the status of a citizen, be thrown behind bars when one of Bhattarai’s own party leaders, charged with murder by the apex court, is roaming scot-free? Apparently, it was Dr Bhattarai himself, while Prime Minister, who recommended the President to grant amnesty for a leader charged with murder. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Should it be considered a crime in democracy when an ex-king attempts to woo flood victims by providing humanitarian assistance? Or, does he deserve prosecution just because he exercised his constitutional right of mobility by embarking on a trip to the far-west as a citizen of Nepal? </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
It was easy for political leaders to pass the buck to the King while monarchy was at helm. But with monarchy all gone, the leaders have failed miserably to live up to people’s expectations. This is gradually leading to frustration, resentment and detestation among the public towards the current political dispensation. While this is not a good sign for Nepal’s nascent republic democracy, leaders should find solutions in correcting their course instead of mudslinging the erstwhile monarchy. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
There is no way a dead monarchy will make a comeback. Fear over the deposed monarchy’s revival is simply unfounded; the fear-mongering is an attempt to conceal one’s own incompetency and deflect public criticisms for wrongdoings. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Reinstating the monarchy, no doubt, would be a regressive move. Feeble voices from a political section - particularly from the CPN (Maoist) party and a few leaders of the Nepali Congress in favour of the abolished monarchy - will either dissipate or be discarded by the people. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The hue and cry over a small philanthropic move of a constitutionally powerless king reflects nothing but the defeated psyche of the UCPN (Maoist) leader. Obviously, people, who have fought for a long time for establishing a republic with multiparty democracy, would not look for monarchy as an alternative system. However, that does not necessarily mean people would stick to the same bunch of leaders who have failed to address their aspirations even after half a decade of regime change. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
In democracy, there should not be any room for negation, and never the politics of violence and coercion. The deposed king should be subjected to free trial if he commits any unlawful activity, but he should not be hounded time and again out of vengeance. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The time is ripe for party leaders to introspect on their deeds on why they could not institutionalise a federal democratic republic and failed to win the hearts of the people. The sooner they realize it, the better.</div>

Should it be considered a crime in democracy when an ex-king attempts to woo flood victims by providing humanitarian assistance? Or, does he deserve prosecution just because he exercised his constitutional right of mobility by embarking on a trip to the far-west as a citizen of Nepal? </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
It was easy for political leaders to pass the buck to the King while monarchy was at helm. But with monarchy all gone, the leaders have failed miserably to live up to people’s expectations. This is gradually leading to frustration, resentment and detestation among the public towards the current political dispensation. While this is not a good sign for Nepal’s nascent republic democracy, leaders should find solutions in correcting their course instead of mudslinging the erstwhile monarchy. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
There is no way a dead monarchy will make a comeback. Fear over the deposed monarchy’s revival is simply unfounded; the fear-mongering is an attempt to conceal one’s own incompetency and deflect public criticisms for wrongdoings. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Reinstating the monarchy, no doubt, would be a regressive move. Feeble voices from a political section - particularly from the CPN (Maoist) party and a few leaders of the Nepali Congress in favour of the abolished monarchy - will either dissipate or be discarded by the people. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The hue and cry over a small philanthropic move of a constitutionally powerless king reflects nothing but the defeated psyche of the UCPN (Maoist) leader. Obviously, people, who have fought for a long time for establishing a republic with multiparty democracy, would not look for monarchy as an alternative system. However, that does not necessarily mean people would stick to the same bunch of leaders who have failed to address their aspirations even after half a decade of regime change. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
In democracy, there should not be any room for negation, and never the politics of violence and coercion. The deposed king should be subjected to free trial if he commits any unlawful activity, but he should not be hounded time and again out of vengeance. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The time is ripe for party leaders to introspect on their deeds on why they could not institutionalise a federal democratic republic and failed to win the hearts of the people. The sooner they realize it, the better.</div>

<div>
While talking to journalists on Tuesday, UCPN (Maoist) Leader and former Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai said that he would have thrown the former King Gyanendra Shah behind the bars if he was the Prime Minister of the country. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Former Prime Minister Dr Bhattarai made such remarks at a time while a voice, albeit subtle, is emanating in favour of the deposed monarchy from a section of the political quarter. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
A leader of the Nepali Congress, speaking with BBC Nepali News Service, questioned the legitimacy of overthrowing the monarchy, and recently, Dr Bhattarai’s one-time communist compatriot Mohan Baidya also hinted towards the possibility of collaboration with the dethroned King on the issue of nationalism. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The remark by a former Prime Minister to jail the ex-king obviously begs a question: Why should an ex-king, innocent of crime and rendered to the status of a citizen, be thrown behind bars when one of Bhattarai’s own party leaders, charged with murder by the apex court, is roaming scot-free? Apparently, it was Dr Bhattarai himself, while Prime Minister, who recommended the President to grant amnesty for a leader charged with murder. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Should it be considered a crime in democracy when an ex-king attempts to woo flood victims by providing humanitarian assistance? Or, does he deserve prosecution just because he exercised his constitutional right of mobility by embarking on a trip to the far-west as a citizen of Nepal? </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
It was easy for political leaders to pass the buck to the King while monarchy was at helm. But with monarchy all gone, the leaders have failed miserably to live up to people’s expectations. This is gradually leading to frustration, resentment and detestation among the public towards the current political dispensation. While this is not a good sign for Nepal’s nascent republic democracy, leaders should find solutions in correcting their course instead of mudslinging the erstwhile monarchy. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
There is no way a dead monarchy will make a comeback. Fear over the deposed monarchy’s revival is simply unfounded; the fear-mongering is an attempt to conceal one’s own incompetency and deflect public criticisms for wrongdoings. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Reinstating the monarchy, no doubt, would be a regressive move. Feeble voices from a political section - particularly from the CPN (Maoist) party and a few leaders of the Nepali Congress in favour of the abolished monarchy - will either dissipate or be discarded by the people. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The hue and cry over a small philanthropic move of a constitutionally powerless king reflects nothing but the defeated psyche of the UCPN (Maoist) leader. Obviously, people, who have fought for a long time for establishing a republic with multiparty democracy, would not look for monarchy as an alternative system. However, that does not necessarily mean people would stick to the same bunch of leaders who have failed to address their aspirations even after half a decade of regime change. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
In democracy, there should not be any room for negation, and never the politics of violence and coercion. The deposed king should be subjected to free trial if he commits any unlawful activity, but he should not be hounded time and again out of vengeance. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The time is ripe for party leaders to introspect on their deeds on why they could not institutionalise a federal democratic republic and failed to win the hearts of the people. The sooner they realize it, the better.</div>

Apparently, it was Dr Bhattarai himself, while Prime Minister, who recommended the President to grant amnesty for a leader charged with murder. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Should it be considered a crime in democracy when an ex-king attempts to woo flood victims by providing humanitarian assistance? Or, does he deserve prosecution just because he exercised his constitutional right of mobility by embarking on a trip to the far-west as a citizen of Nepal? </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
It was easy for political leaders to pass the buck to the King while monarchy was at helm. But with monarchy all gone, the leaders have failed miserably to live up to people’s expectations. This is gradually leading to frustration, resentment and detestation among the public towards the current political dispensation. While this is not a good sign for Nepal’s nascent republic democracy, leaders should find solutions in correcting their course instead of mudslinging the erstwhile monarchy. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
There is no way a dead monarchy will make a comeback. Fear over the deposed monarchy’s revival is simply unfounded; the fear-mongering is an attempt to conceal one’s own incompetency and deflect public criticisms for wrongdoings. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Reinstating the monarchy, no doubt, would be a regressive move. Feeble voices from a political section - particularly from the CPN (Maoist) party and a few leaders of the Nepali Congress in favour of the abolished monarchy - will either dissipate or be discarded by the people. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The hue and cry over a small philanthropic move of a constitutionally powerless king reflects nothing but the defeated psyche of the UCPN (Maoist) leader. Obviously, people, who have fought for a long time for establishing a republic with multiparty democracy, would not look for monarchy as an alternative system. However, that does not necessarily mean people would stick to the same bunch of leaders who have failed to address their aspirations even after half a decade of regime change. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
In democracy, there should not be any room for negation, and never the politics of violence and coercion. The deposed king should be subjected to free trial if he commits any unlawful activity, but he should not be hounded time and again out of vengeance. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The time is ripe for party leaders to introspect on their deeds on why they could not institutionalise a federal democratic republic and failed to win the hearts of the people. The sooner they realize it, the better.</div>

While talking to journalists on Tuesday, UCPN (Maoist) Leader and former Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai said that he would have thrown the former King Gyanendra Shah behind the bars if he was the Prime Minister of the country. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Former Prime Minister Dr Bhattarai made such remarks at a time while a voice, albeit subtle, is emanating in favour of the deposed monarchy from a section of the political quarter. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
A leader of the Nepali Congress, speaking with BBC Nepali News Service, questioned the legitimacy of overthrowing the monarchy, and recently, Dr Bhattarai’s one-time communist compatriot Mohan Baidya also hinted towards the possibility of collaboration with the dethroned King on the issue of nationalism. </div>
