Demonstrations in Nepal demanding the return of the monarchy

In the last decade, this South Asian country welcomed democracy after saying goodbye to monarchy. However, thousands of people in Nepal are still not happy with democracy.

Thousands of people of Nepal protested with the demand of establishing the monarchy by saying goodbye to democracy again. On Wednesday, the Nepalese people held a protest rally on this demand.

The monarchy has ended but there are still many supporters of the monarchy. The demand to bring back the monarchy is rising again inside the country (Nepal). Thousands of supporters of Nepal's former royal family staged a protest on Wednesday demanding the re-establishment of the monarchy. Protesters gathered around the statue of King Prithvi Narayan Shah. Protesters chanted slogans in praise of the monarchy during the day's rally.

This king of Nepal started the Shah dynasty in the 18th century. Gnanendra was the last king of this dynasty. He was then forced to abdicate after the political history of Nepal took a dramatic turn. Then in 2008, the monarchy was abolished and the republic was born. Nepal is recognized as a democratic country. It is to be noted that on Raja Prithvi Narayan's birthday, his supporters take part in such protests every year. And they continued to demand the monarchy.

Again, the new government led by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal declared a public holiday in Nepal on Wednesday on the occasion of Raja Prithvi Narayan's birthday. Despite the protest, the protesters thanked the government for declaring a public holiday on the occasion of the king's birthday and allowing the rally.
