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.]

Democracy 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!]

After that, you had best leave the country and never return. Oli and the other so-called top politicians are well on their way to destroying the country. But they are only completing what the monarchy could not complete before. Only a younger charismatic generation of politicians from among Nepali citizens with a commitment to inclusion, democracy and secularism and an aversion to theocracy and overrated political ideologies can save the country!]
