What the hell is going on? Guys what you all think about this?
RPP call for king’s active role
KOL Report
KATHMANDU, April 1 - Over a dozen senior leaders of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) Sunday strongly called for His Majesty King’s active role, even if it is unconstitutional, to give way to the present crises plaguing the country.
The RPP leaders, most of whom were in the party’s central committee members, gathered in the residence of former minister Padma Sundar Lawati said the present system has made the situation of the country more critical and the active role of the King is very much essential.
“Except by the King, the Constitution has been defied from every angle - political parties, government, parliament, constitutional bodies, administration wings… - and they have been completely defunct,” said Lawati. “Now the King has to bear active role, irrespective of it being unconstitutional.”
But, he also said, “We are not trying to revive the Panchayati System. It’s already cremated.”
Speaking on the occasion, RPP District President of Myagdi, Jagat Gauchan, said Nepal’s Multiparty Democracy is imported and “the King by being active can rule the country by introducing country-specific multiparty democracy”.
Speaking on the occasion, central leader of the RPP, Parshu Narayan Chaudhary, said the King must be involved in the national consensus to resolve most of the problems including that of the Maoist problem. (yo)

what do I think of this story? well, allow me to tell you another story which I am very sure all of you are very familiar of.
"there was once this dog who had a coiled tail. due to the circumstances, he needed to have his tail straightened otherwise he would not survive. so he gets this bright idea that if he pressed his tail underneath a stone for 12 years he might get it straightened. so he commences to have it pressed underneath a stone for 12 years. after twelve long years, he decides to check the state of his tail. he slowly removes the stone pressed on his tail and lo and behold, to no one's surprise, guess what how he finds his tail? his tail is...."
oh c'mon i can't give away the secret that easily. you are going to have to do some reading...just click on the link provided in the previous posting to end the great suspense.
anyways, what strikes me is the sentence..."even though it is unconstitutional..." or should it really? do constitution really mean anything to these people? i doubt it.
p.s. i confess to being "inspired" by a certain nepali ukhan when I wrote that "story". :-)

Why Not....I will be happy if panchayat comes back with leadership of King. That would be our(all nepalese) last hope.
What happend with Our so called Democracy...after all this 12-13 years of democracy, Country is is still there where it was in Panchayat era. No development and No nothing.
Only bunch of Randi ka chora Neta haru became rich and still they are sucking our blood.Panchayat system itself is good but , it has some negetive things too. They have to correct those mistakes.
Akhir ma Democracy le ke ramro garyo desh ko lagi........................

It was 26 Chaitra 2046, in front of Bir Hospital, there was Vijaya Julus after an announcement from respected late King Birendra. One diplomatic Kuireko chhauro was on the roof of taxi & copying others saying loudly
PACHCHE CHyor!
No reaction

If Panchayat was to be revived today, it would surely last for another at least 15-20 years. There are many generations that have seen the degradation of the country brought by the so called "Democracy." So those generations wouldn't have problem with Panchayat. Then when the newer generations come, then will the decision for "Democracy," be taken "peacefully," as we all know how important the peace is. And another thing about the lifetime of Panchayat. It will also be decided upon the fate of the King (whoever it is going to be). If he is good as a leader he'll survive or else he will fail.
I have no problem if Panchayat comes. I want peace and harmony, and that's all. I am not a power hungry, money-minded leader who wants "Democracy," so that I can achieve my self-interested goals.

In Nepal people are too fussy about political systems. I think what we need is not so called "perfect system" in theory rather an able leadership in practice. The system should then be moulded to drive the vision of the leadership. Unfortunately, Nepal is always bogged down in the futile debate over different political systems. People are deeply divided into so called ideological lines. At times, even potentially visionary leaders such as BP were victims of own ideological traps (as reflected in his anti-communism posture). Political parties since the time of their establishment have been teaching people to see the facts through their own ideological lense. The process of politicising created its own vicious cycle dividing almost whole population in ideological dogmas.
Today's Kantipur run an article examplifying the case of Mr. Lee of Singapore. I think King Mahendra's Panchayat (not Surya Bahadur's panchayat!) had a potential to make difference. Panchayat as a system was not that bad until King Mahendra's death. It is true that King Mahendra's good intention was not supported by so called democrats and intelectuals. If those democrats, sociolists and intelectuals were so much concern to serve the nation and contribute to nation building, King Mahendra provided enough flexibility to accomodate them. The political "dogma" was the factor that prevented them to join the panchayat. Nepalese people are bearing the cost of this futile idelogical conflict until now.
I, for one, if given a choice, will certainly go for democratic system but do not mind to be ruled under Panchayat (new or old version), Communisim (ranging from UML's model to maoist model), Army dictatorship and so on. And so is the case, I think, of majority of GARI-KHANE (as opposed to THAGI KHANE) Nepali people.
I can also see, for some section of our society, it makes sense to argue for the status quo in the name of protecting democracy. After all, it is democracy that made it possible to increase the income share of upper 10 percent rich by more than double (23 % in 1985 to 52 % 1996, see kantipur Op-ed Chitra 15). They also love to talk about reform and changes we should make within the democratic framework. But how? See what is happening with Anti-corruption Judicial Commission. The ingredients for all the anamolies we are experincing now are well integrated in the micro structure of the current political system. For that matter, it is simply useless to blame GRJ, KBK or Bam Dev gautam for their behaviour. The very undelying structure of the system is providing an incentive for people to walk along corrupt path. How can we expect to emerge a Nepalese Lee from such system.
And if a "Nepalese Lee" happen to emerge, what would be the reaction of PANDITS of DEMOCRACY? Would they accept ? I think NO.

They have a safe place to leave "BANARAS", chew some red leaves and read Nab Bharat Times and wear Dhoti. After all what have we achieved in this Democracy. Make these Banarasi rich.

Hi all,
The political system at the regime of the late king Mahendra was not so bad and he had an outstanding command in politics. He had saved Nepal from India(Neharu-India). He was a great politician and perfect one for Nepal.
Any condamnation is welcomed...........

if we really want Nepal to be prosporus, then we have to kill all the leaders from all the parties we have right now and also the forth-coming generation of politicians because they are trained by our current corrupt politicians. let the new generation of politicians take over the country.
