(December 27, Kathmandu, Sri Lanka Guardian) King Birendra was a great nationalist who strongly believed that Nepal's history and tradition have bound her people and Monarchy in an enduring and intimate relationship, injecting in the Institution an inherent feature of honoring and being guided by popular will and aspiration of the people. King Birendra was born in 14 Poush (29 December) 28 Dec.1945, in the time of 2nd Great war. King Birendra followed the path of the great nationalist- King Mahendra and he supported the decision to continue Hindu Kingdom in the constitution. Hindu Kingdom and the King Birendra’s proposal to declare Nepal a zone of peace are the norms of the Nepal’s prestige and security opinion. From the time of accession to the throne, King Birendra supported the democratic norms and rules. He made the people’s direct participation in the nation’s development and went on nation-wide tour encouraging all sectors. He bore the expenditure and arranged for medical treatment in US for the democratic leader of Nepali Congress BP Koirala, King Mahendra and his opposition. King Birendra held referendum on state’s political system reflecting the democratic image of Nepal’s monarchies. He played a big role in development based on geography in mountains, hills and Tarai plains.
King Binendra was a development- oriented people's king. The welfare of the people was always uppermost in his mind. He always endeavored to live up to their expectations and ensure a balanced all-round development. During his coronation in 1975, he declared free primary education throughout the country and also proposed that Nepal be declared a Zone of Peace. Including USA, 116 nations support the declaration of Zone of Peace but India denied it. Nepal has had ties with India since the Muslim rule there, but Nepal always faced a threat from India. In the name of democracy (Indocracy), India always plays the Drama with Nepalese agents-the traitors.
In 1988 India initiated economic blockade on Nepal causing much suffering to the people. In the meantime, India reached out power hungry and demoralized political leaders to initiate uprising in Nepal. Indians had tried to threaten the then King Birendra through the India sponsored uprising and bring him under the Indian grip. India wants to take over the Nepal's defence and foreign policy by rendering it into such ranks as of a failed nation. After the palace macassare-2001, His Royal Highness Prince Gyanendra, according to the constitution, was proclaimed king of the Kingdom of Nepal.
When the new king Gyanendra was maintaining the system, then, since 2005, India had laden the Maoist rebellion along with Nepali Congress, UML and others with the 12-point agreement for so-called Loktantra. That movement that ensued after the 12-point agreement was not for a republic state. The movement had stopped only with an agreement between the king and the political parties with the internal consent of the Maoists. In the agreement, it was agreed that the sovereignty of the country would be handed over to the people with the king as the constitutional monarch. After the movement stopped the country failed to take the agreed path with the parties involved in the movement in the name of people's movement breached the agreement and overstepped the constitution. The South Bloc and the notorious- Indian intelligence agency-RAW used the Maoists, congress and UML to breach the agreement and to eliminate monarchy. This was a great betrayal to the country.
Let it be. History can decide the fact. It was a matter of grief that the Nepalese people had to bear the sudden loss of their beloved 'Monarch' in a dreadful and unanticipated incident that occurred in the Narayanhity Royal Palace on 1st June 2001. That was open-secret that Prince Dipendra and Devyani (daughter of Pashupati Rana whose father in law's house is Gwoliar-India) were used by RAW in the Royal massacre. reality is that on the massacre night (7-9 PM), Devyani was in Dugad Niwas near by the Indian-Embassy at Lajimpat, and was asking the activities of Prince Dipendra to his ADC, Raju Karki, now he is in America. After the massacre, she left that place and first of all, PM Girija Prasad sent the message to Indian PM from the Army Hospital by telephone where the death bodies were there. But, just after the massacre, the next day, Devyani departed to Delhi when Girija was the powerful Prime minister. Mr. Bijayamani Dixit has commented-'The unsolved murder mystery of Indian PM Lal Bahadur Shastri (PM of India who was poisoned in Masco) and mystery of Royal Palace massacre may be hatched by RAW.' (Janabhawana, Nepali weekly - 10th Aug. 2009)
History says and everybody knows the monarchy is a symbol of Nepalese unity and nationality. In between the two big neighbors- China and India, the monarchy has been playing a balanced role. So, Nepalese monarchy is the most convincing identity of Nepal's independence and democracy. King Gyanendra is also a nationalist like king Mahendra who can stand with cause and effect on national scenarios. The 1 June 2001 incident shocked the nation, when their Majesties King Birendra and Queen Aishwarya, Their Royal Highnesses Prince Nirajan and Princess Sruti Rana along with five other Royal Family members and relatives lost their lives after being fatally wounded during a family gathering at the Narayanhity Royal Palace.
Now, the country is standing on the verge of dismemberment in the last five years. When the relationship between the king and the people have been detached one can easily imagine, Nepal can't remain safe and unified if monarchy is actually abolished from the country. Now, the traitors are being active to blame the royal institution. There are so many evidences that they have well-planned design to defame the King Gyanendra as well as the crown prince Paras who are becoming popular among the people. The people are demanding- 'King come save the nation' without hesitation. We have a current incident on the crown prince-PARAS-13th Dec.2010. The Crown prince was celebrating the birthday ceremony of his daughter. The foreigner, citizen of Bangadesh, most culprit man, Rubel Chaudhari, the brother in law of Sujata Jost-German citizen, came to the table where Paras was sitting with his family, the nonsense Rubel Chaudhary started to threaten the royal family and denounced the Nepalese people. But, Paras tried to advise to late patience, but Rubel was blaming him at that moment. That was the mail reason about the grand design of conspiracy by Rubel at Tiger Tops resort-Chitwan.
Without cause, Paras was arrested so quickly by the government where the traitor PM-Madhab Nepal, the nonsense NC president Susil Koirala, RAW agent Krishna Sitaula were active to arrest and blaming. But the Nepalese people became aggressive and agitated against the government's decision. After the naked action on the Crown Paras, all the leaders have exposed. In such antinationalist activity, Crown prince Paras said- 'I am always been inspired and encouraged to be independent Nepali citizen. No obstacle or influence will ever diminish extreme love and respect for my nation. I have full faith and trust that all Nepalese in Nepal and other parts of the world will continue to bravely and actively work in keeping intact the integrity and sovereignty of Nepal.'(23 Dec.2010 People Review)
Being a liberal and democratic aspiration, sometimes the crown prince Paras shows the common activities. But, if anybody meets him, he will impress with him as a good personality. Pous 15, (Dec.30) is the birth day of the crown Prince-Paras. On this occasion, I extend thanks him for his good health and prosperity. I hope, Paras as well as the nationalist people will be able to reinstate the beloved monarchy. Because, the Interim Constitution that walked the unconstitutional path by stepping over constitutionalism was in itself handicapped. The declaration of republic on 28 May was unconstitutional. It was against the mandate of the Nepalese people.
In a country with such geographical and ethnic diversities Nepal will fall into a severely dangerous situation because of the tug of war for power and money. This can be avoided if there is monarchy because monarchy is always impartial politically and of the political parties. All of us are against if there are anomalies within the royal institution, but those things could be sorted out through negotiation with the monarch. But, it is our unfortunate that the politicians have learnt no lesion from their past mistakes. To make no mistakes is not in the power of man, but from their errors and mistakes that wise and good learn wisdom for the future. Constitutionalism is the way of the nation. But the profounder of parties don't like the follow the norms of the constitution and existing laws. There is establishing the anarchism by such destructive activities. The leaders of Nepal Congress, UML, Maoists and other don't like to improve their mistakes.
It is true that there are many countries which do not have monarchy still they could remain independent and prosperous. But, some communist parties take monarchy as the root cause of Nepal's all woes. But, this is not correct. Nepalese king has ever acted or walked on the path which is against Nepal's national interest. Nepal could remain an independent and sovereign country only because of monarchy. The permanent institution- 'Monarchy' can put unites the cordial relation between Nepal & India. In between the two big neighbors-China & India, the monarchy had been playing a balanced role. Nepalese monarchial system has been supporting-'One China policy'- Tibet as an integral part of China. But, in the absence of Monarch- RAW (India's the Research and Analysis Wing) and CIA (Intelligence agency of America) approach their agendas to destroy the Nepalese identity, unity and the Chinese integration.
Nepalese around the world and Nepal's well-wishers are anxious about this conspiracy against monarchy by some deviant leaders. Former minister and elder son of the founder of Nepali Congress BP Koirala's elder son Prakash Koirala says–'After republic was declared, no one is secure. Due to the passiveness of nationalist elements, to much foreigner are playing to desintrigate the Nepalese unity in the current vacuum. The 12 points agreement was worked out of Delhi. All these destructive works were carried out from Delhi. The republic was declared by the force of Indian leaders. King did not take decisions under foreign pressure. Nepali Congress's major ideology is constitutional monarchy and multi-party democracy. Constitutional monarchy and multi-party democracy is still a need in Nepal. But, the international force- such as India, America removed the monarchy. Girija Prasad (uncle) created chaos in the country. There is no law and order and the presence of the government is nil.' (14th Jun.2010 Peoples Review)
The unnecessary conflict between the political parties and the king came up because of the mistakes and blunders of Nepali Congress and the CPN-UML and the authoritarian thinking of the Maoist. In this context, the former minister Padmasundar Lawoti says-The Monarchy will itself emerge eventually. Rest assured. We need not to advocate for the revival of the monarchy because the people know it better as to who were responsible for the current political instability-a mess in effect- in the country. The Constituent Assembly has already become defunct and thus there is the urgent need for its dissolution. Why the Maoists are following the agenda of expansionism and imperialism, minimizing this truth forcefully? The Maoists should understand the glorious history of Nepal's sovereignty with the monarch.
Some people lacking information about Nepal's geo-political stand point along with the cultural history as the king remained symbol of unity in diversity take as an obsolete and ancient institution, but not all countries with monarchy are deprived and destitute. In the context of Nepal, the political parties can always get along with monarchy. History is evidence that the parliamentary parties, mainly the Nepali Congress and the UML, who came to power after 1990 completely failed to steer the country and they handed over power to the King in 2001. Later when they failed to get position and power they climbed on the shoulder of the Maoists to launch an anarchic struggle by the hints of the notorious Indian intelligence-RAW. The Nepalese monarchy has no role in bringing this sorry state of this country. So, Nepalese people shall not remain quiet if these political parties try to destroy the identity of this country, monarchy, Hindu-kingdom and the tradition and the basic foundation of Nepal.
We Nepalese people no longer want the unconstitutional rule of the so called visionless larger party leaders including Maoists. The Nepalese only believe in parliamentary democracy and always follow the constitutional path. Now, the only way would be the acceptance and restoration of benevolent and people-oriented monarchy. There is, thus, no way other than to form a national government of all sides, reinstating the 1990 constitution including the king, through a broad conference and find a way out to solve the country's problem. So, on the occasion of birth memory of King Birendra, we should never forget his great patriot actions. Long Live the Nepalese Monarchy.
