domestic enemies

A lot of negative writing have been found in the Nepalese media about the ex-king Gyanendra recently, some having taken advantage of the freedom of press have also gone to the extent of addressing him disrespectfully. In the same regard, following is a thought to be shred.

The leaders say that they have abolished Monarchy but in reality the king very peacefully resigned and stepped down without any retaliation and did also mention in his last press conference that he was doing so for the peace, prosperity and for the love for his country and his countrymen. If he had so desired, he could have fought against the forces that were against his rule like Kings in the history books have done in the past to save his nation from domestic enemies as they (the political parties) were looked upon as. On the other hand, these political parties specially the Maoists to establish themselves as a political party, to remove the tag of a terrorist from their names and to get recognition went the whole nine yards to breach all agreements to go against the King to the extend of forcing him to resign using his own weakness which is, “love for the nation”. The other existing parties just followed the Maoists cause they had all been failures and were in the process of being wiped out from the Nepalese political scenario. This was a game played for personal benefits and interests and had nothing to do with the interest of the nation or its nationals. A party or a bunch of so called dirty politicians do not decide the fate of a King whose institution has existed for almost over two hundred and forty years. Only the Nepalese citizens have the right to decide on such an issue and to do so, instead of the CA elections there should have been a general poling to decide whether or not to have a ceremonial Monarchy and that would have been fair and justified cause the citizens of the country would have been directly involved in a history making process which they have a right to.

Today the people are fed-up with the political leaders and their false promises and their minds think and say differently. The elected members of the CA were put there to build the New Constitution of Nepal, how far has this process reached and what has been accomplished so far? Nothing, the only accomplishment so far by these conspirators has been deceiving the people, selling dreams to the people but making their own dreams come true.

This thought is in no way to defend or advocate on behalf of the ex-King but history has prevailed that kings have retaliated and used force to stay in place and maintain power. However king Gyanendra, without any retaliation resigned and gave up his crown for the peace and prosperity of his countrymen and despite being grateful to him for such a humble and noble act, the politicians and the press are being disrespectful which does not sound quite justified.
