The demand for restoration of Hindu nation and monarchy has once again intensified in India's neighboring country. And in support of this a big protest was organized in Nepal's capital Kathmandu. Hundreds of protesters also clashed with the police in this protest. As the protesters entered the restricted area and broke the barricades, the police used tear gas, lathi charge and water cannons.
The protest was called by the right-wing Rashtriya Prajatantra Party (RPP). Thousands of his activists and supporters of the monarchy marched in the capital and chanted 'Bring back the monarchy, destroy the republic.'
The road which is called the lifeline of Kathmandu was completely closed due to the crowd of people gathered for protest. The protesters started moving towards Singh Darbar, the administrative capital of Nepal. Local authorities have tightened curfew in the area, as these protests often result in clashes.
RPP announces protest
The RPP had called for protests on Tuesday, a month after submitting its 40-point demands to Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal. Announcing a campaign for the restoration of the monarchy and restoration of Hindu Rashtra on 9 February, the RPP called for mass protests on 9 April (Tuesday). Anticipating possible tension and violence, around 7 thousand police personnel, including Special Task Force (STF) and Armed Police Force (APF) of Nepal Police, were deployed in and around the protest site.
Monarchy ended in Nepal in 2006
In 2006, Nepal abolished its centuries-old constitutional monarchy. After this, King Gyanendra seized power and imposed emergency and put all the leaders under house arrest. The movement, also known as “People's Movement II,” resulted in bloodshed, with dozens killed in a government crackdown on protesters. After several weeks of violent protests and increasing international pressure, Gyanendra conceded defeat and reinstated the dissolved parliament. The new democracy begins with the form of democracy. Within 18 years of the end of the monarchy, right-wing people are once again taking to the streets demanding its restoration.
