The much awaited address by king has only solidified his ambition to remain in power.
Royal Message inside
In his 5 minute long speech, king has tried to take credit for his direct rule and seems reluctant to give power to the people. He has cited article 35 of 1990’s constitution and asked SPA leaders to come up with a name of Prime Minister. Until such name is fixed, the king has declared that he is clinging to the power.This is an utter deception. He is not willing to give up the power yet. This is only a cosmetic change and no one should believe in his words.
It is done only to manage the growing international pressure upon him. He should have cited article 128 by which a powerful PM could be appointed. He is not ready to bring the Maoist in mainstream politics which is the major concern of the people. He should have asked SPA to form an interim government that will eventually hold election for unconditional Constituent Assembly.
People sloganeering in the streets have voiced their concerns over kings deceptive steps.
Meanwhile, state has extended curfew from 8pm to 12 o’clock.
Rajendra Pande, central member of CPN (UML) says : This is a treachery. The movement will go on unless power is handed over to the people.
Upper House MP and lawyer Radheshyam Adhikari comments: This so called solution can not stop people from reaching their goal of loktantra.
Proclamation to the Nation from His Majesty King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev
7(21 April 2006)Beloved Countrymen,
You are all aware that, given the situation prevailing in the country then, we were compelled to take the decision of 1 February 2005 to set in motion a meaningful exercise in multiparty democracy by activating all elected bodies, ensuring peace and security and a corruption-free good governance through the collective wisdom, understanding and the united efforts of all the Nepalese. By supporting our decision, the Nepalese people made amply clear their desire for peace and democracy and the civil servants demonstrated sincerity towards their duties. We are appreciative of this. We also have high regard for the dutifulness, valour and discipline displayed by the security personnel, upholding their glorious traditions.
By visiting different parts of the country, we made honest endeavours to acquaint ourselves with the hopes and aspirations of our people, mitigate their hardships and boost their morale. We also called on the political parties to enter into a dialogue in the interest of the nation and people afflicted by violence and terrorism. However, this did not materialise. The ideals of democracy can be realised only through the active participation of political parties. In keeping with the traditions of the Shah Dynasty to reign in accordance with the popular will in the greater interest of the nation and people and our unflinching commitment towards Constitutional Monarchy and multiparty democracy, we, through this Proclamation, affirm that the Executive Power of the Kingdom of Nepal, which was in our safekeeping, shall, from this day, be returned to the people and be exercised in accordance with Article 35 of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal – 1990. As the source of Sovereign Authority is inherent in the people, harmony and understanding must be preserved in the interest of the nation and people in an environment of peace and security. While safeguarding multiparty democracy, the nation must be taken ahead along the road of peace and prosperity by bringing into the democratic mainstream those who have deviated from the constitutional path. Similarly, a meaningful exercise in democracy must be ensured with the activation of representative bodies through elections as soon as possible. We, therefore, call upon the Seven Party Alliance to recommend a name, for the post of Prime Minister, at the earliest for the constitution of the Council of Ministers which will bear the responsibility of governing the country in accordance with the Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal – 1990. The present Council of Ministers will continue to function until the appointment of the Prime Minister.
May Lord Pashupatinath bless us all!
Jaya Nepal!

Bhudai Pundit,
Of course, its not the matter of who I like or who like. Its the question of who was elected by Nepalese people and thier representatives in the Parliament.
Whether you like it or not, SHER BAHADUR DEUBA WAS ELECTED BY PARLIAMENT AS THE PRIME MINISTER, WHICH STILL MAKES HIM THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRIME MINISTER AS THERE HAS BEEN NO ELECTION OR PROCESS IN PARLIAMENT TO CHOOSE THE PRIME MINISTER.
IF YOU ARE AWARE, EVEN GIRIJA PRASAD AND NEPALI CONGRESS had accepted that Sher Bahadur should be reinstated provided he recommends for reinstatement of house of representative.
Sher Bahadur refused this condition at that time (2 years ago), however in current situation he might agree to that as well.
Moreover, Madhav Kumar Nepal, General Secretary of UML has also openly commented in the past that SHER BAHADUR SHOULD BE REINSTATED AS Prime Minster.
Let us not forget things in retrospect, otherwise we will have every tom, dick and harry wanting to be Prime Minister. If we want country to go back on track then let us correct REGRESSION and reinstate peoples elected PM.
HAVING SHER BAHADUR AS A PM is a must as HE IS THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRIME MINISTER AND ONLY HE WILL HAVE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS TO MOVE THE COUNTRY AHEAD.
THINGS LIKE HOLDING NEXT ELECTION AND REINSTATEMENT OF PARLIMENT CAN ONLY BE POSSIBLE VIA A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRIME MINSTER.
ANYBODY ELSE WOULD BE JUST ANOTHER FACE CHOSEN BY KING.
Loktantra jindabad… hami lai thagna payeendaina…

Hi SN, your king is stoned, but you rely on amphetamines… don’t be so stressed, it’s bad for health.
Bye, sweet subject.
There are some chamchas of sher bahadur here are writing Sher Bahudur should be the PM. I tell them Fuuuk up. He is the one who handed over the democracy to the King. Now many people had to lay down their lives and it was so much of hardships to bring back. He doesnot hve any brain in his skull. he is a robot in Daura Suruwa. he will again give the democracy to the King by having three pegs of Whisky.
micheal,
you dont mean the everything should be decided by people on street, do you?
yes there is more than million people on the ring road and they have said what they want. let the SPA decide the rest including the reinstatement of parliament and CA. it is already in third week and i dont how long the common people is going to take it.
To MR. ‘I love my country’: please don’t use the decent and patriotic alias when u appear to be just on the contrary to it.
You’ve shown ur ardent support for the king in a very latent and skilful manner. What do u think, people are still morons that they get beguiled by pretentious reactionary royal stalwarts like u? No way, Republic is inevitable despite ur wily maneuvers.
I Love My Country:
I don’t think your analysis is correct. I can understand your reluctance to beleive the Maoists but I don’t think things are as simple as you put it. The Maoists are not completly oblivious or stupid. They have seen the power of the people in the last few weeks… A military take over by the Maoist will never happen and they realize that. Firstly they would have to defeat the RNA and India would send troops if the Maoist were to take over by force.. I think the Maoist have long realized that a negotiated settlement is the only way out. They have changed their stance on the Monarch issue and they called for a ceasefire before.
The main concern right now is to find a way to bring them into the political arena…
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely
We should form a strong group of young people like Shivsena in India (not for religion) that can really take care of any Leader that will try to be greedy and repeat post 2046 history. We should really take care of them in anyways we can even if it means…. We need to bring this beautiful country back it track. Can’t let King or leaders drag us to past..
Choppers can be good time machines.
Just fill the tank with a mixture of gun powder and kerosene…
Hi All,
The lates from Nepal is that either GIRIJA or Krishna Prasad will be next PM.
I would support Krishna Prasad instead of Girija.
I still think Sher Bahadur is the better option.
Sher Badhur is an IDIOT. Did you forget that this fool was the one who dissolved parliment at the recommendation of the King? Did you forget Sher Badhur ignored the Maoist in the begining when Baburam wanted to talk he brushed them aside and went to Delhi.
He has realtions with the royal family and you think he is a good choice?
Why only you guys are repeately posting your comments and my comments are not posted? Strange
Friends,
Let us not use abuse language here.
I had been watching the comment of somebody called Layman, who either uses RACIST COMMENTS or USES ABUSIVE language.
Let us have some wisdom here.
LAYMAN is representing his sad heritage here.
Cyp: My friend don’t blow up yourself in the process!
Long live Democray. Who is next PM – sure they will fight for it.
well for many blogger, time is to talk about the next prime minister and other portfolios. it seems that the shaha king’s Gurkha Appeal has worked again, seems it go down well among many. to remaind, it worked well back in 1990. what happened afterward is we well know. do not go for ‘gurkha appeal’ and wait for another jana andolan part 3.
Bhudai Punditji,
If we talk about mistkes, I can give you lot more reasons about Girija Babu’s Mistakes.
Let us not forget how Girija Babu started this whole game of dissolving the parliament way back in 2051.
I think I agree to your point that there should be some sort of reconciliation. Thus, Sher Bahadur is the right choice. Moreover, I will have to tell you that Sher Bahadur is not related in any way to Durbar, except that his wife came from a Rana family.
Otherwise it wont be long before this angry mob in Nepal turns the country to anarchy.
I don kw what does the king thinks he is, but he surely thinks that he will decieve people once more.. OOOO god!! May his Pashupatinath will save him nowwwwwwwww.. but we can’t.. Bye to our King…
This is the long awaited moment of our history and we must not let go. Struck the iron when it is hot.
Gyane is a cobra: feed him milk, he will make poison of it and sting you back.
No body bestows power like offering of flowers to Pashupatinath; we must snatch our sovereignty from the cobra.
If he can drink the blood of his family, his own blood; our blood is like a goat’s blood for him.
Let people march towards Narayanhiti. One more blow folks! He will be out.
Constitution should be written this way:
We the sovereign people of Nepal have written our constitution for our…….
Not like “sambhidan jari gari bakseka chhaun…”
Bhudai Punditji,
Moreover, lets put words like idiot aside. You seem to be a democrat and I can see that u are concrened about your country and seem to be commenting here often.
However, if you use words like “IDIOT” to abuse anybody in such forums, it just shows ur own immaturity.
It has already been proved that going back before Ashoj tantra is not enough. This is not the time to listen what king says because he is still head of army. Think that cat is telling the rats that he is not eating them(rat) anymore. If the rats believe on him(the cat), how foolish they will be. Should the cat not be in the cage at first. Will the people be soverein as the king says? Is it that easy? How about Rayal Nepal army? King is dreaming to see SPA fighting for PM post. Do SPA leaders know this? Was this fighting for to gat back the situation before Asoj? Was everything good before Asoj? How are you going to tackle the situation, SPA? Go, if you can do something?
guys,fill me up in this:
constitution assembly means a step to review n mend the present constituition,rite?!
I have never seen bigger hypocrites as I have seen in this site. Those to claim to be the biggest supporter of democracy shout the loudest when they hear a version agaisnt their own. Democracy also means – freedom of expression. You should all name this blog as the KG haters rather than democracy lovers.
oh am so glad.. this dead lock has finally been broken..now i can go back to durbar marg and can have my favourite ice cream sundae again..and sandwiches and. i was running out of stock of my choclates.. whew…
man this 15 day thing sure made me hungry
Sher Bahadur under the order of the King dissolved the Parliament. He even never thought of consulting his senior cabinet members. He went to the Palace and he was offered some pegs of whisky by this chanakya King. Deuba signes the paper dissolving the Parliament of 205 memebers. I do not have to tell you how poor we are as a country and how much money is spent to have elections. How many people have to work for the conduct of elections successful.This guy Deuba dissolved in awhsky sitting with King. Thats why Ram Sharan caught his neck at the Indain ambassdor’s residnece during a dinner. I am surprised to have such aleader in our country and his supportes.Whats the hell that our political system has produced such a leader during the early 12 years of so called democracy.Thats why I call him a robot in Daura Suruwal.
First of to this seshyan guy….YOU ARE THE DUMBEST OF THE DUMBS…CONFUSED OF THE CONFUSED FOOLS THAT WRITES IN THIS BLOG…You still think Prithvi Narayan thought of making a country called Nepal while he was trying to expand his border anywhere he could? He didn’t even finished the expansion..his son Bahadur Shah is equally respectfull enoug if u respect any shahs at all in the expasion. And you royalist who always ask people why don’t you talk about maoist violence…I want to ask you people why don’t you talk about your great kings pratap sing, rana bahadur, surendra, rajendra…their bahaduris…and why not about girwan…he was the one who accepted the treaty with the english in such a pathetic manner…amar sing went to gosaikunda because he has asked for more time to fight with the english…why don’t u’re ‘sign of integerity of nepal’ accepted the proposal…at least it would have been better to die of fighting as long as we could with the english then to be so weakless to the english and now indians…at first the english always interfered in our internal policies..just read some history books from some indpendent writers..and now it’s the indians…u’re ‘patriotic’ king didn’t listened to his own people’s cry for freedom but when an indian arrived and asked him what to do…he did just that….it shows how desbhakta he is….u morons….some of u show absolute lack of political knowledge….some of you are drive by the hatred against some bunch of choors…and some of u just fear to accept the truth as it is and should be….people who thought well king might be needed are disgusted by this….he just wants to ease of some international pressure…now he can say to the foreigner that he so graciously asked the parties to come ‘with’ him…..but when they didn’t come i have no choice…so please help me…send me guns…send me bullets…i will then kill all the maoist and everything will be solved…..and india is already showing sign to support this…they always play here and it’s so easy to play with a tyrant who had almost no option…it wouldn’t be wonder if he does some treaty on water resource….coz india desperately needs that and look at all the treaties between nepal and india and see how easy it is to steal it from someone who is desperate to save his throne?….and what kind of power he gave back are u talking about huh???it’s something janta ko naso janata lai nai firta diye re…that means he stole it once…he still have the power to still it twice….but enough is enough now….he don’t want to adress to the people..he just wants to ease of the pressure little bit….that will the worst thing to happen…so guys let’s not stop going to the street…until and unless there is CA without any condition…no stoppage to the aandolan…doesn’t matter if no country supports us…COZ WE THE PEOPLE MUST RELY ON EACH OTHER…THAT WILL BE THE GREATEST PATRIOTISM…THAT WILL TEACH THESE LEADERS TO RELY ON THEIR PEOPLE NOT SOME FREAKING FOREIGNERS….otherwise….we will have to wait for our sons to bring our total rights backs to us…and to those who think this is a good way to goto CA…gosh have u ever read this nations’ constitution….there are some things called unchangeable…….the supreme court can easily dissolve things like that as that’s against the law…….it’s just out of the question……..
That’s a pretty good analogy Mukti Aryal. I can totally see Gyanendra looking like one of those chubby lazy cats who sleeps all day and expects to get food for doing nothing. Like some people on welfare, ‘I don’t want to work, but I want free money.’
I saw him on BBC again, and he’s definitely stoned. Not drunk, but stoned like he took too many anti-anxiety tranquilizers.
I hope the people don’t let go of this moment and take the power back. ;)At least we know he’s already on anxiety meds.
And please lets not try to corner KG too much or else the purring cat will scratch.
1. Yesterday King said “I have taken the power in my hand”
2. Today he said “ I am giving back it to people”
3. Is there any guarantee that he will not say “I am again taking back my power” Because this coming government will be hanging on the air. He may easily kick that government out of his way as he did to Sher Bahadur Deuba.
4. Suppose, the Interim government will go for election of Constituent Assembly, will he agree?? I think he will again use Article 127 to take power in his hand.
5. From the past experience we have known him as a great liar and use to do just opposite of what he says.
6. Otherwise UN should play a mediator role until the election of constituent assembly.
Guys you all are whinnying for nothing. These politicians are bunch of shit heads you don’t know what they will do once they get the PM post. Who screwed up everything after the democracy? Who created Maoist problem..THINK THINK …people.
What will happen is next 10 more years of musical chair of PM and after that again King will take the power. This will never end unless we shoot all the old fart politicians first.
We Nepalese tend to forget even what happened yesterday. We never learnt anything from our past mistakes. That why we are doomed always to a failure. So this deuba is dangerous for the future of Loktantra in nepal. I know that some good paople are behind him but they are only there to oppose the dictorship of Girija in the original congress.These peole aere only behind him to have the Ministership and the posts of money.
I cant understand why some of our nepalese bhai dont accept with this address. All nepalese knows that these politician looted nepal and then king got chance to loot as well. If politinal parties are now true to Nepalese people then why they worry that king will take power again. If they do good who the hell can take power from them. I think political parties are still not confident whether they can do good for the country.
Hell with these politician and their supporter in this matter
simrik up yours, we shout the loudest against those kinds, i.e. like you, who spray bullets to silence the voice.
yo desh ma kehi hune bala chaina…pheri yeuta
thotre budho PM,tehi corruption,india ko “hepai” ani after sum years the king’ll take power again n the same thing over n over..
i’v given up my dreams for the republic nepal,
call me pessimist or watever but this is wat i feel n i choose to say it loud..
We must not accept anything less than an interim govt. followed by a constituent assembly. Political parties beware – if you show your greedy side and fight again, we will strip you naked, make you walk in the road in broad daylight and then hang you one by one in ratna park. Girija, Makune and Deuba – beware especially the 3 of you.
Admin please start new topic for discussion what political parties are saying with their views and what janata are doing on the streets. Here is crowd of opinion and it will be very difficult to read when it crosses 100. It will be easier to read and comment when there is another topic. Guys keep on watching merosansar.com .np also. worth of reading Nepali Blog.(it’s not advertisement just info for those who want to know live updates.) I am posting my request again. Please owners and bloggers, Give space for comments starting new topic. It is heavily crowded here.
‘Hami bahadur chhoun tara buddhu chhoun’-Bhupi Sherchan
It is a pity that god forgot to give us enough wisdom. That is why we are either ‘kanchha’ or ‘bahadur’ in india or ‘mercenery gurkhas’ elsewhere. Perhaps we have no brain to solve any problems so foreigners should show us the way.
Recently, king admitted his failure to resolve the national issues hence gave up his power. Obviously the ball is at the court of SPA now. Some MAI KA LAL should have enough courage to come forward to become prime minister and handle the situation towards addressing the problems in the country.
No more street-demos please! Now enough.
I propose any of Dr. Ram Sharan Mahat/Subash Nembang/Narayanman Bijukchhe/Devendra raj Pandey or some other capable personalities to come forward as PM candidate to save the nation from disaster.
No Sher Bahadur Deuba please… he was the one who was hungry for power the last 2 times. First, he dismissed the parliament knowing that the election was not possible… his intention was similar to Gyane’s to hang on to the power in the name of Maoist & terrorism… he even dismissed the local elected government when their time was up. Second, when Gyane was about to hand over the power to parties 2 years back after trying Chand and Thapa he wanted the PM seat so badly that he did not bother taking the blessings from all other major players who were fighting for the democracy.
I am sure SPA can come up with a single name this time but, is this enough or should we go for more so that we don’t have to fight again in the future??? Why was Gyane and his so called advisors still wanted to play divide and rule game till yesterday by offering the PM seat to Bhattarai??? What does the article 35 say??? Can the new PM reinstate the disolved parliament??? How will the maoist be brought to political process???
There are many questions to be answered before deciding the PM… don’t just jump into fire yet.
UWB TEAM,
I OBJECT YOUR HEADLINES ITSELF, CALLING THE ROYAL MESSAGE AS ‘DECEPTIVE’. IF IT IS, THEN WHY U THINK IT IS NEEDED FOR DISCUSSION ANY MORE? BEFORE, U PEOPLE USED TO CALL KING’S SILENCE AS ‘DECEPTIVE’. NOW AT LEAST HE OPENED THE DOOR AND STILL YOU ARE SAYING THE SAME. EVEN IF KING CUTS HIS THROAT BY HIMSELF, YOU WILL START TO SAY HE IS DECEIVING!
WHAT AN ATTITUDE!! SEEMS U PEOPLE LACK SELF CONFIDENCE AND R FULL OF INFERIORITY COMPLEX!!
Ram Sharan is the most corrupt politician out there. I am surprised that anyone would recommend his name. He illegally made millions while he was the Finance Minister for years. This guy should be behind bars for alll his crimes. He will sell this country to the higest bidder.
Common, any one but Sher Bahadur. Some fresh face would be nice but even Girija or Makune will be better than Sher Bahadur. He is too gullible. If he could be fooled twice, he could be easily fooled again.
I think Sher Bahaudur has done most damage to democracy in Nepal after King G (even more than Girija).
1. Deuba failed to conduct local elections
2. Deuba dismissed the parliament causing all this mess. I wonder who incited him to do this.
3. Deuba started the Pajero culture of the MP’s.
4. Deuba played all the dirty games to prolong his Govt. including sending MP’s Bangkok and so on.
5. Many corrupts from Congress like Khum Bdr, Chiranjibi Wagle joined his party, but Deuba never dared to speak or do anything against them.
6. Deuba did not warn the public about King dismissing him the second time.
4. Deuba divided Congress party due to his ego.
Peace:
I was not calling anyone here an idiot. I was calling Deuba an idiot and quiet frankly I think idiot is tooooo much of a compliment for him. Yes he may not be related to the Royal family but his wife certainly has close relations with the palace. Moreover, it is common knowledge that his wife is the brains behind Deuba’s operations… since the man is (sorry but I have not other word) an IDIOT.
I see Gagan Thapa as a promising leader for the future. However, the problem now is that the political leaders are not going to step down or move aside. Especially now they will claim they have struggled for democracy etc. So for the time being we don’t have any other choice but to put up with the Girija et al.
Given the choice: Girija, Deuba and Mukune I have to go with Girija. He is the only one who will stand up to the king… besides he is 84 so I can’t imagine he has any long term ambition. I also think people are more aware and empowered so if his spawn Sujata Koirala tries to take advantage of the situation we can lynch her in public.
Fck you Indians!!!
You dhitis are trying to help the KG make trap i really pray Bin Laden kills you all!!!
RSS go back to your mosque and pray. It is already too crowded here.
Kalupande:
I agree the heading is not entirely appropriate. Other website have a differnt heading which give a completly different meaning.
Hellow:
As you can tell I don’t like Deuba but I disagree with some of your reasoning. The congress party being split has more to do with Girija’s ego.
There were many currupt under Girija as well. Sujata Koirala made a fortune and she was the most dispicable, lunatic person. Besides did you forget the Lauda case? I don’t think you can compare the political leaders using curruption as the basis… they were all currupt!
NO REPUBLIC. THE SILENT PUBLIC DOES NOT WANT REPUBLIC. THEY WANT RULE OF LAW, PEACE AND STABITY TO GO BACK TO THEIR LIVES.
Hey guys its really funny u know if we had TIME MACHING we would do this and that all.
You know what would be the great thing to do if we had time machine. WE wouldn’t let Girijas parents have sex then there will be no girija hehehehe
KALUPANDE, MY BRETHREN, YOU THE MAN! Tell these LOOSERS THAT THEY NEED TO UNBURY THEIR HEADS FROM THE SAND AND SEE THE LIGHT!
TAKE THE OPORTUNITY WHILE IT IS STILL IN OFFER AND FORM A GOVERNMENT AND BRING LAW AND ORDER BACK INTO THIS COUNTRY.
Don’t relax yet!!!
Keep up the pressure on the parasite till he’s gone.
As long as he’s around there’s always the danger of him setting up as a dictator again. And don’t forget the son…….a lovely thought eh? a dictatorial dynasty.
