AFP: Nepal's former king hits comeback trail

Legend has it that when Nepal's first king invaded what was to become the capital, Kathmandu, he did so during the autumn festival period, confident its inhabitants would be caught unprepared.

Sify News - Nepal ex-Crown Prince's gun brawl case gets sequel

Kathmandu, Dec 23 (IANS) Nine days after Nepal's controversial former crown prince Paras Bir Bikram Shah was arrested following reports that he was involved in a gun brawl with an influential minister's son-in-law, royalists struck back Thursday, asking the apex court for an inquiry into the victim's 'questionable' activities.

Dayendra Bahadur Thakuri, district chief of Rastriya Prajatantra Party-Nepal, the only party in parliament to support the monarchy, Thursday filed a public interest litigation against Rubel Chowdhury, the son-in-law of Deputy Prime Minister Sujata Koirala, who had alleged he was threatened by a gun-toting Paras during a drinks-driven dispute in a hotel earlier this month but later retracted his allegation.

The Supreme Court admitted the petition and ordered a hearing to start Friday.

Times of India - Nepal ex-crown prince Paras seeks his pound of flesh

23 Dec 2010. More than two years after Nepal's major political parties decided to abolish monarchy, the deposed royal family still remains a formidable adversary. It was brought home Thursday when the headline-grabbing tangle between ousted crown prince Paras Bir Bikram Shah and the son-in-law of the deputy prime minister threatened to become a costly affair for the latter.

A little-known farmer in northern Sindhupalchowk became the slighted former crown prince's avenging angel on Thursday when he fired a fresh volley against Rubel Chowdhury, a Bangladeshi national and son-in-law of Sujata Koirala, who is also the foreign minister of Nepal.

Deposed crown prince Paras Bir Bikram Shah, hated by people for his arrogance and drink-driven rages, was ordered by a district chief to tender a written apology.
Last year, the 39-year-old former heir to Nepal’s throne had become embroiled in a gun battle in a jungle resort, where he allegedly fired in the air after brawling with the son-in-law of a powerful politician.
However, the Chitwan district, where the incident had taken place, could not press serious charges against Paras after the victim developed cold feet.
In the end, the district chief dismissed the case, saying as this was a first offence, Paras would have to provide a written undertaking agreeing not to repeat the act in future. - The Peninsula Qatar
 
People will probably want the abolition of Republic because only Monarchy can bring peace to Nepal.

I believe the Nepalese citizens are not agree with you, Cory dear.
 
Maybe Prince Paras is not the most popular person of the Royal Family but the chaos brought by the republicans will probably mean more to the people.
 
... but the chaos brought by the republicans will probably mean more to the people.
The 'chaos' has begun with the brutal and unsolved murder of the beloved King and Queen of Nepal and the other RF members on June 1st 2001. And then 'chaos' continued with King Gyanendra's unwise rule and local police killing people.
Try to read this, Cory. Every monarch's decision has its' consequences.

10 years ago: The Royal family of Nepal massacre

Why Nepal’s Crown Prince Went on a Killing Spree | PRI's The World
It was 10 years ago June 1st that, by the official account, Nepal’s Crown Prince strode into a royal family gathering, opened fire, and killed nine people – including his father the King, before shooting himself.

New conspiracy theory after 10 years of Nepal palace massacre - Mangalorean.Com

Two years ago, when the Narayanhity, once the royal palace jealously guarded from the public eye by a high wall and armed soldiers, opened to the public as a national museum, it was not the ceremonial throne or stuffed animal hunting trophies that held the curious crowds transfixed. What mesmerised them instead was a razed down mansion with some walls still bearing bullet pock marks – the site of the royal massacre on June 1, 2001 which killed the then king Birendra and wiped out his entire family. But on Wednesday, the 10th anniversary of the dark night that led to the eventual abolition of monarchy in the world's only Hindu kingdom, people had mostly forgotten the slain king. It was partly due to the quirks of the Nepali calendar. According to it, Birendra and nine more royals, including the queen and their three children, died on Jeth 19, which, this year, falls on June 2. - times of india

The Himalayan Times : Deposed king Shah frets over worsening political situation - Detail News : Nepal News Portal
Lamenting the worsening political situation of the country, former king Gyanendra Shah today said he had not imagined that the country would come to this pass when he abdicated the throne and left the Narayanhiti palace.
“When I left the palace, I had not imagined that the country would face such deterioration,” the deposed king told reporters at a brief press conference held at Nirmal Niwas on the occasion of his 65th birthday. Surrounded by security officers and mediapersons, Shah said, “But let’s pray for peace and prosperity.”
Shah said, “I feel people are facing more and more hardships.”
Asked about the possibility of peace and constitution, Shah said, “We must not lose hope. Whether we get peace and constitution is another matter.”
 
Gyanendra celebrates 65th birthday - *
Nepal''s last monarch Gyanendra today celebrated his 65th birthday at a lavish programme at his residence near Kathmandu.
Hundreds of followers and former royalties gathered at ''Nirmal Niwas'' in Maharajnung to offer birthday greetings to the former king, whose royal status was stripped off in 2008 and became a private citizen.

Close on the heels of Nepal's government banning any public celebration of exiled Tibetan leader Dalai Lama's 76th birthday, a small but loyal group of royalists Thursday celebrated the 64th birthday of deposed king Gyanendra.
Ignoring an early morning drizzle, men, women and children holding aloft placards with the former king's photograph and flowers made their way to Nirmal Niwas, the sprawling mansion that was Gyanendra's private residence as a prince before he was crowned king of Nepal in 2001 following the assassination of his elder brother, King Birendra. - Source
