Nepal king continues to block new constitution
Posted by admin on 2006/12/10 4:20:11

Kathmandu, Dec 10 (IANS) Though stripped of his power and privileges by the new government, Nepal's King Gyanendra nonetheless continues to cast a long shadow on future developments, with the issue of monarchy holding up agreement on a new constitution and causing a rift between political parties and Maoist guerrillas.

A new constitution that would pave the way for a historic election next year when Nepalis would vote whether to keep the king or axe his crown for a republic has missed several deadlines as the government and the guerrillas can't reach an agreement on the fate of the monarch till the polls.

After several rounds of negotiations, both sides finally agreed to keep monarchy suspended in the new constitution. Now they have locked horns over who is going to be the head of state in the new interim government that will be formed once the new constitution is implemented.

For nearly a week, second-rung leaders of the coalition government and the Maoists held intense negotiations in the capital, expecting to reach a conclusion Saturday.

However, even after nearly 10 hours of consultations, they failed and decided to refer the bone of contention to their top leadership.

According to rebel leader Baburam Bhattarai, who led the Maoists delegation, the disputed issues are: who would head the state till the constituent assembly election scheduled by June 2007, the electoral system, some fundamental rights, and the army.

The Maoists have been pressing for the head of government or speaker in parliament to be regarded as head of state while the government opposes it. The government stand mainly stems from Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala's Nepali Congress, the largest party in the alliance which favours retaining a ceremonial king without administrative powers as head of state.

Though the new constitution was drafted by a team of legal experts in August and was to be implemented last month, the deadline has slipped past mainly over the dispute over the position of the king.

Maoist chief Prachanda has been accusing the parties of trying to derail the key election next year and trying to protect the king. Recently, he has also been expressing doubts whether the poll would be held in time.

Now Koirala and top leaders of the remaining six parties in the alliance as well as Prachanda would begin fresh negotiations to finalise the new constitution.

Atomic = propoganda (ist)

Just read the following and use common sense.

Prachanda declared that King sent army to blow bombs. Next day Baburam said he has the evidence.
How can they know so fast , without any conclusion of investigation or even a beginnning that they have both the motive and the means.

Analyze that !

Dear Friend !

this is the time every nepali must have think once about future of nepal . If we wnt remain the name of nepal in the world otherwise Girija ( ledup Dorje ) is going to finish it with the help of the terrorist supremos . I suggest to Gagan thapa to review the current issue of nepal . I mean about the Monarchy after CA polls . You must have some experience of YCL What they want to do?

yes i am. but im not also in favor of MAobadi also prachanda, baburam whoever..they are also shit like girija n madhav........if u check the availability of good leaders in Nepal its difficult to find...i Dont give a damn to the news that u posted.also...cause they are all hawadari ....u didnt understand my writings...what i jus wanted to say is ...WE NEED SYSTEM....DO U WANT TO LIVE UNDER THE SYSTEM OF KING(NEXT GENERATION like shit PARAS) OR COMPLETE DEMOCRACY......LISTEN UP DUDE!!! WE CAN ELIMINATE GIRIJA OR PRACHANDA ON DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM BUT WE CANNOT ELIMINATE KING IN HIS PRIVATE OWNED SYSTEM.....................

I think its too late in Nepal for that but there are symbolic monarch's in the world.

can u make it more clear what the hell is symbolic monarch???

Like in Great Britain.

ok thats fine...but remember in Uk its not like in BHUTAn or NEPAL where king does politics ..make out rules of their own..eg.(british soldiers were sent to iraq not by the order of QWeen Elizabeth...thats why british ppl hate BLAIR but not Queen......in our situation the king is different..WHO operates business makes money..paras hhaha gundagardi....king in dirty politics what a joke.......

Living human museum bhaneko. Raja lai euta cosmetic form ma rakhera eso hindu culture lai symbolic form a preserve ma garne bhanya. Ke bigrinchha 10 lakh salary diyera ke bigryo


CNN RA BBC LE ta Nepalese lai khattam banayachhan ..well that;s their goal ..liberalise everthyng and flatten other societies.

But thier own ? PRESERVE.

thats fine but its not that our Hindu culture will stand only on the base of king.....SHREE 5 ko sarkar rey,,,DO U KNOW WHY THREE IS SHREE 5.???..let me make u clear..there are other 4 kings in NEPAL..out of these 4 GYANENDRA IS NO. 1 ..so he is called shree 5..yo ta hindu shastra ma lekheko chaina nee(MAILAY guff DIYE HAINA this is fact chq out history)....THATS HIS OWN SAHABANSIYE PARAMPARA ..haha.......................................................................ani yeah janta ko paisa ley salary diyera raja lai jindagi diyera hamro culture maintain hune haina nee?????.....(ek ta tyo GYANE lai kahan pugcha ra 10 lakh ley).......we can spend money on other development works which we are spending huge millions on king???...

bro , timro culture nai cha ina bhane, paisa ra development matra bhayer kehi hundiana, manchee ho hami..manche. Identity , heritage , culture pani chaiyo ni,

Lost hunu bhayena ni hoina ra ?

bro!!! this raja rajauta ..kings queens are like myth..
As Per my history knowledge!!.....there were KIRANTS, LICHAAVI, MALLA...NOW SAHA...they all became king killin each other...cause whoever(person) was rich and has power killing people they can be king at that time.....thats why i call it myth......NOW this is the new age....UNITY OF THE PEOPLE IS POWER....SAHA BANSA WILL BE NO MORE >>>NO MORE GULAMI!!!NO MORE CHAKADI.....AND remember my fren one day this will also be history.....

u all MUST admit by now that SEIKO is SICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk

yeah I am bastards!!!!!!!!

In the long run we are all Dead. You don't get it. You are living in lower levels of Maslows hierarchy.

Looking at the things going on in Nepal and If CA really doesn't take place due to Maoist ,No one can stop King becoming powerful figure again.

I will bet ..These parties will go and hand the country to king.Just watch the show..They are incapable bunch of douchebags..When they are in power they cannot control when they are not they cry like a baby.Why do we need these kind of leaders??

And Ya King is not blocking the anything..SPAM is scared ..I cannot imagine these morons are scared of dead king.What a losers as leaders!!!!

haha maslow's hierarchy..u must be kiddin ??? read carefully what ive written above about the kings in NEPAL......it looks like DUKE u wanna live in old age..where there will be king..ppl dont have a right to speak out abt their rights ...king is only lawmaker ..n hab to do n feel whateve king does....sakena mailay sakena ....raja ko naramrari chaap pari sakecha!!
