A former ambassador to UK said to Journalist during the strike -A Hindu king can’t be under a constitution. He was thought to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He was even regarded enough powerful redeem people from their sins. Once Monarch was revered by all and respected as symbol of unity. King Gyanendra was 10th crowned monarch.
Even the major supporter of constitution monarchy decided to remain either neutral on the question of monarchy or abolished monarchy by omitting the condition from their party manifesto. Public support for all three institutions: the monarch, seven political party alliance and rebel Maoist was dwindling very sharply
Monarchy.
No one has believed that the call for four days strike, aiming to be end of regression by seven party alliance (the seven parties are Nepali Congress, Nepali Congress-Democratic, Nepal Sadbhavana Party, CPN-Unit Marxist, Samyukta Janamorcha, Nepal Peasant’s and worker party, United leftist front.) would mount to the pick of Jana- Andolan, when it was call on 6 April mark to the day of 1990- Jana- Andolan.
Andolan on 19 day was powerful enough to shake the foundation of 237 years old Monarch. Unbelievable, influx of people on the street was immense. Everyone in the demonstration was expressing their deep-hatred to the monarchy. Country has never expressing such and irruption of people in the parties its history before. Nepalis were well over the historical boundaries by then. The movement appeared to be more anti monarch rather than pro-democracy in its nature.
Not a single Nepal, not even the King himself has thought of this situation. Now onwards there are the only question maneuvers in everybody minds, which are - Are we having better Nepal?
