Hamro Raja Hamro Desh Pran Bhanda Pyaro Cha!!!
only way to save Nepal from internal & external problem is to restore the monarchy. if nepali first vice presedent refuse to take oath in Nepali then what will happen for the forth coming ? these so called politicians do not love the country. all they want is power & money. they will sell the country. so king has to be back & rull the country with iron hand to bring back the wild goat population into the track. if Nepal become strong then we will have respect in india & every where else. or one day we will disappear. an advice from Darjeeling
Dear King! U the only one who can save Nepal. I love u so much bottom from the heart. wish to see u as King of Nepal again. God bless to U.
We have a proverb- oralo lageko mriga-lai syal le pani khhedcha. But after seeing the warm respects shown by the people, it seems Gyanendra is still in the heart of the people. Whether he comes back or not that is another question, but no other so called leaders can beat his charisma and love by the people. This welcome in Panuati is genuine, from heart of the locals. Even the maoist did not wave black flag like they did to the President. This gesture by the people of Panauti should make these leaders to re-think about Gyanendra and Monarchy.
Monarchy is the Long-term Fate Of Independent Nepal.To expect independent,united and stable Nepal without the existence of Institution of Monarchy is nothing but a day-dream which has already been shown its pre-scene of coming days.All executive powers to people's elected represenativs and role of guardian,symbol of unity and honor to monarchy is the only way to save nation and its separate identity.
Jay Nepal !
This is what people want. People want Monarchy to come back. We can see simply from the peoples reaction and respect to the Monarch. Is there any politicians for whom people of Nepal have such respect? No! Monarchy from Nepal has been removed by few terrorists, so it mnust be re-enstated. Before removing the Monarchy, there should have a referendum. CA election send CA members to make new constitution, but not to decide the faith of the country. So, that was not peoples mandate instead wish of some self centered, mad, traitors, corrupt, robber, unethical and coward politicians. Why 30 million people of Nepal should follow what 601 illiterate and stupid people has decided. Lets punish those traitors of our motherland and re-enstate Monarchy and establish peace and prosperity in the country.
No matter what these politicians say about the Royals but King is still there in ordinary peoples heart and will be there forever.I want to see his comeback but don't know how this is possible.Really sad about Nepal's sorry stage.I wish we could hang those corrupt politicians in Ratna park and mark the day a real Democratic Day.
