The 'citizen group' has warned former king Gyanendra Shah not to push the constitution towards danger. A group of Mohana Ansari, Rajan Kuinkel, Kanakmani Dixit, Dinesh Tripathi, Rita Periyar, Sushil Pyakurel, Charan Prasai and Hira Vishwakarma have said that former king Shah started politics with the intention of bringing back the monarchy.

In a press release on Monday, the group said, 'Former King Gyanendra Shah has started politics with the intention of returning the monarchy, which we (correctors) consider to be anti-constitutional, spreading chaos, giving support to opportunists and under the guise and trust of some narrow religious communities in India.'

with the threat of weakening Nepal  The group also believes that Shah has entered the political arena. Gyanendra Shah has entered the political arena with the threat of weakening Nepal in the face of the neighborhood and the world, undermining the contribution made by his own ancestors to the country. At a time when neighborhood relations and broader international affairs are becoming complicated, Gyanendra's activities are intended to further weaken Nepal's geopolitics,' the group's statement said. 

The group also said that the former king Gyanendra Shah is pleading with India to return to the throne. Mentioning that they have met with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath several times, the group said, 'It is not hidden from anywhere that Gyanendra Shah has taken initiatives with the leadership of India to be reinstated on the throne. New Delhi is constantly trying to impose its rule on the neighboring small countries, and it is remembering that it imposed a blockade on Nepal a decade ago for almost 6 months. It is also clear that the establishment in New Delhi is unhappy with Nepal's constitution (2072) and wants to take credit for it before the Indian people and voters by pushing Nepal towards a 'Hindu nation'. On the other hand, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath has been publicly expressing his desire to return the monarchy, and Gyanendra has met him several times in Lucknow.' 

The group also believes that trying to return the monarchy to Nepal under the guise of Indian Hindu fundamentalism will seriously harm the integrity of Nepal. "Looking at history, Prithvi Narayan Shah was careful with the empires of the north and south and saved the sovereignty of Nepal, which today is one of the oldest nation-states in the world. Ironically, his 10th generation Gyanendra is trying to hide the 10-year-old constitution under the guise of foreign archaism for his personal interests. 

The group also said that Gyanendra had spread democracy under the guise of the army in 2061. 'This is Gyanendra who seized power in the guise of a soldier in 2061, teaching his father King Mahendra's 'Ku-de-ta' in 2017. Gyanendra, who replaced the elected government and parliament, jailed hundreds of political party leaders and members of civil society and ran the government as president. The people's movement brought democracy back,' the group said. 

It is also mentioned in the statement of the group that Gyanendra, who did not say anything on behalf of the people on sensitive issues such as the blockade on Nepal in 2072, and the Chuchche map dispute, took the throne. Nor has he been heard to have regretted the action of 2061. He is seeking to be restored to the throne as an authoritarian thinker, and there is no doubt that he will adopt the same arrogant and despotic style if he gets there. Nepal, which is the 'open society' of South Asia, will be brought to a closed society of 30 years of Panchayat or one year of Asojatantra,' the statement said. 

The citizen group believes that the fact that Nepal's parliament was built under the republican constitution is essential for everyone to understand. The group also said that parliament is not the place to demand monarchy against the constitution if only one member of parliament is involved.
