Prachanda Warns Against Monarchist Resurgence Amidst Political Tensions in Nepal

Pushpakamal Dahal 'Prachanda' urged pro-monarchist forces in Nepal to not mistake liberal attitudes as weakness and warned against reviving monarchy. He emphasized the need for anti-monarchist forces to self-critique amid rising corruption and societal disorder, which have bolstered regressive movements.

CPN-Maoist Centre chief Pushpakamal Dahal 'Prachanda' has cautioned pro-monarchist forces not to interpret the liberal stance of the Nepali populace and political factions as frailty.

Addressing a massive rally in Bhrikutimandap, Prachanda accused monarchists of seeking to instill fear in citizens by advocating for royal reinstatement.

He criticized former king Gyanendra Shah's past actions that led to his diminished status and warned against repeating such errors. The unrest, highlighted by monarchist-instigated violence, underscores the fragile political climate in Nepal.
