I don't know if Gyanendra/his son or anyone/people on his/their behalf was/were responsible for the tragic incident at the palace.
However, let's assume Gyanendra mandali has nothing to do with the incident then how many of us can really feel his pain? His both brothers are dead, wife is wounded, got a son almost no one likes, became the king of a nation where people look at with suspicion...he must be going thru hell. And if he or his mandali has any thing to do with the incident then the moments are more painful for him.
Now, about the investigation. Madhav Nepal is a coward. He was one of those crying for investigation and when he got the job he is backing off. He does not want to take responsibility but he loves to blame others. We got to be careful with creatures like him who are opportunist and escapist. The real issue here is the investigation not the way how a body(investigation) is form. If they need more time, they are not dumb, they can say so (more time is needed). He wanted a committee formed/headed by the PM not by the king. Yeh, right! as if he would have cooperated if it was formed by GP Koirala.
If Nepal becomes a republic, we might pretty soon hear our president saying "hamare nepal me..." In our country there are very few people who vote for the candidate in the light of education, experience, affiliation, ideology, programs..etc. they vote for a candidate polishing shoes- out of a whim- at new road or vote for that comrade in the east who declares will provide land for people at tundikhel or will give rooms in singadurbar for poor. We also got whole bunch of people who sell their votes.
Who knows who is the president of Israel? how many world leaders care who is the president of india? how many of us know who the president of Germany? Prime Ministers are more powerful than presidents in all these countries. The point is, if a ram bahadur sunuwar from ward no. 5 in sindhupalchowk wants to lead Nepal he got the post of Prime Minister waiting for him. One does not need to be the president of a nation to lead.

I don't believe King Gyanendra did it for himself to be a king. I have seen the feeling in his eyes under the crown. He seems very disheartened on all this tragedy.

I fully agree with you. I believe that things can be made better, if not stop from worsening, by involving in it. He is fueling the turmoil. It is true that if the committe was formed under PM Girija, he could have rejected to work under him outright. He and His party might have been thinking to reject dishonour whatever comes in the report and carry on their street movement, keep hands with Maobadi to throw the monarchy. Shame on this.
I have quite good examples when I could stop the situation going from bad to worse by active involvement. It is true that some people were searching me with Khukuris in their hands. Once the immediate reaction was over, the same persons who had khukuris in their hands supported me later that year.

Thanks to the untiring efforts of Local NGO/CBO and development programs, people are not in that much bad shape now. We should have a referendum (as we did have in 2036 B.S.) to decide whether we want to continue monarchy or not. Let a single person has his/her voice counted. Let everybody vote whether he/she wants to be the president or the prime minister as the ultimate post.
