Celebrating Demise of Democracy in Nepal
By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
On December 16, 2008, a group of people celebrated the anniversary of killing the democracy by the then-king Mahendra in 1960 decorating the statue of king Mahendra with the Nepalese national flags and offering flowers to it on the square near Sanskrit school in Kathmandu. Mahendra had dissolved the elected parliament and the government and banned political parties, then introduced no-party political system called Panchayat and run the state administration as he liked in 1960s.
The government should immediately make celebrating the anniversary of death of democracy illegal and punish the people for such illegal activities and demolish the statue of King Mahendra immediately, as it has been the symbol of death of democracy in Nepal. It would be a prophylactic measure for anybody venturing to kill democracy in future, too.
