Consequences of violence during the demand for Hindu Rashtra in Nepal

Kathmandu (Nepal) – Two persons, including a TV cameraman, were killed and 110 others injured in the clashes between the security personnel and the pro-monarchy protesters.

As the protest was organised on the call of Gyanendra Shah , Kathmandu Metropolitan City’s (KMC) mayor Balendra Shah sent a letter to his residence at Nirmala Niwas at Maharjgunj on the outskirts of Kathmandu asking him to pay Nepali Rupees 7,93,000 as compensation against the damage.

1.In the letter sent to the former monarch, copies of which were released to the media, the KMC said that the protest organised with the call of the former monarch had damaged various properties belonging to the metropolis and affected the environment of the capital city.

2.Durga Prasai, who was the convener of Friday’s agitation, had met Gyanendra Shah a day before and received instructions to stage the agitation demanding the reinstatement of monarchy and a Hindu state.

3.Former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal said that it is now completely clear that Gyanendra Shah is behind all this. Gyanendra Shah’s motives are not right, it has been seen before and it is still being seen now; but now it is time for the government to take strict action. This incident should be thoroughly investigated and the guilty should be punished. Gyanendra Shah cannot be given complete freedom now. This is completely unacceptable and the Nepal government needs to take this formula seriously.
