Nepal Clashes: ‘Monarchy, Hindu Kingdom Status…’; Protests and Violence in Nepal
The National Democracy Party (RPP) in favor of monarchy and other groups have participated in the protests. The protests turned violent, with hundreds of vehicles set on fire.
Kathmandu: In Nepal, once again, Hindus took to the streets demanding the declaration of a Hindu nation and the reinstatement of monarchy, creating a tense atmosphere in the capital, Kathmandu.
On Friday, clashes began between Nepal’s security forces and Hindu activists in Kathmandu, as widespread protests were held demanding the restoration of the monarchy and Hindu kingdom status in Nepal. The RPP and other groups participated in the protests.
The protests escalated into violence, with hundreds of vehicles set ablaze. Several police officers were injured in the clashes, disrupting daily life in the city.
To control the situation, police fired rounds of tear gas and rubber bullets, but the protests continued. Demonstrators set fire to several houses, buildings, and vehicles.
Curfew Imposed
A curfew has been imposed in the areas of Tinkune, Sinamangal, and Koteshwor in Kathmandu, where the violence has been most widespread. According to local media, during the clashes, protesters set fire to commercial complexes, shopping malls, the headquarters of political parties, and media centers. More than a dozen police officers have been injured in the violence.
In the Tinkune area, thousands of monarchy supporters gathered, waving Nepal’s national flags and holding pictures of former King Gyanendra Shah. They chanted slogans such as “Bring back the King, Save the Country,” “Overthrow the corrupt government,” and “We want the monarchy back,” demanding the restoration of the monarchy in Nepal.
End of Monarchy in 2008
Nepal abolished its 240-year-old monarchy through a parliamentary declaration in 2008. The former Hindu kingdom was transformed into a secular, federal, democratic republic.
Return of the King and Renewed Pro-Monarchy Protests
On February 19, on the occasion of Democracy Day, former King Gyanendra Shah appealed for public support in a video message. Following this development, pressure for the restoration of the monarchy in Nepal has been growing.
Earlier this month, after visiting religious sites in various parts of the country, former King Gyanendra arrived at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu.
Pro-monarchy activists rallied in support of him. Protesters chanted slogans like “Bring back the King, Save the Country,” “We want the monarchy,” and “Vacate the royal palace for the King.”
