Gyanendra is the one who blocked telephone and internet services when he was the chairman of the cabinet. Military officers were sent to the newsroom. Curbing the freedom of expression, Urtan issued an unannounced Urdi in celebration of the monarchy. The same Gyanendra has sung the praises of democracy today.
Former king Gyanendra, who was appearing in greeting messages from time to time, appeared again with a greeting message in the new year. This time, his message came at a different time. After 15 days of Tinkune incident, the former king opened his mouth. And in the background of greetings, he gave some political messages and also expressed his intention to keep himself in the center.
Coincidentally, the former king's message came on the same day as the video of people breaking into houses and offices during the monarchist movement in Tinkune was released. Five days after the said incident, 22-year-old Saroj Gautam of Sunapati Rural Municipality 1 of Ramechhap and 20-year-old Gorkan Shahi of Panchdeval Municipality of Achham were arrested on charges linked to the said incident.
Why did Saroj and Gorkan dare to set fire to people's houses and offices? Saroj was 6 years old and Gorkan was only 4 years old when the former king Gyanendra left Narayanhiti and went to Nagarjuna after evening fell. Perhaps Saroj and Gokarna do not know what happened at that time? Gyanendra sitting at the head of the power caused an uproar and why millions of people came to the streets.
Saroj and Gorkan did not set fire to people's houses and offices just out of youthful passion. Who and how they were used will gradually be revealed in the police investigation. But the fact that has been revealed so far is that both of them were opened by Durga Prasai. Belonged to 'STF'. It will also be revealed in time whether they were inspired by what ideas or philosophy they joined or were tempted. It is hardly necessary to remind former king Gyanendra, Durga Prasai was sent by him as the commander of the movement on the evening of Chait 14. And coming out of Nirmal Niwas, he excitedly told about the possible actions he could do.
Gyanendra did not know that the person whom he made a commander and sent to the front of the movement was arrested from Assam in India 14 days after causing destruction and fleeing from Tinkune in a violent manner . And Nirmal Niwas must know that he was arrested within a few days of releasing two video messages with white lies that he was on the border of Nepal.
After the fake video message of Durga Prasai came out, Gyanendra's greeting style was publicized, but he did not just ignore this whole background . He didn't think it necessary to spend a single word of criticism on his role even if he went beyond to explain and analyze his role in Tinkune incident.
Purvaraja Gyanendra is familiar with the forgetful situation that occurs in human life. Can't say the same. He said in his congratulatory message, 'There is no greater tantra or debate than civil freedom. Real democracy is there, where there is a tradition and culture of listening to good and bad people's complaints and praises.'
The former king must not have forgotten, on October 18, 2059, he declared the then Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba disabled. In the following few years, he started the practice of keeping the Prime Minister. At first Lokendra Bahadur Chand was picked and brought. Even after that, he brought Surya Bahadur Thapa. Then he again brought Sher Bahadur Deuba. After seeing that even from Sher Bahadur, his intentions would not be fulfilled, he removed Deuba on January 19, 2061 and took over the command of the government by himself.
After becoming the chairman of the cabinet, he blocked telephone and internet services . The military officers with weapons arrived inside the news room with their boots on and took away all the freedom to speak and write and shouted unannounced slogans of the monarchy. It has not yet faded from the memory of many, what happened then ? How the patronage of the partyless system was started and the money flowed from the royal palace in the name of Suraki .
of course Gyanendra has certainly not forgotten these steps taken by himself. Even if he has forgotten, it is important to remember, apart from the generation of Genji like Saroj and Gorkan, who were prepared to set fire to their homes and offices, many have not forgotten that period when democracy was lost. The same Gyanendra who curbed freedom of speech said today, 'It is a beautiful feature of democracy that different parties, classes and masses of society can express their opinions, beliefs and expressions.'
Poorvaraja has tried to mix some economic and some political things in his speech . He has said that the time has come to put an Arjun vision in the task of building a self-sufficient economy while mixing the reality of experiencing extreme economic recession. But he forgot how such an act was not done during his own reign. Who was his charioteer and what kind of economic vision did he have? The incompetence of the party trying to bring democracy and the fruits of all their curcuma will be experienced by them in due course. In that there is no need to be pulkit as the previous king reached oblivion.
In his message, the former king has repeated his comment that Nepal is the best land in the world. He has not only misrepresented the history, but he is spreading misleading and false information that Nepal was a golden state in the past. The former king should not forget, since the Rana period, the tradition of selling Nepali youths as mercenary soldiers to the British India Company and eating them continued in many forms even during the active monarchy . And Gyanendra it is also important to understand that, since a long period of history, Nepali youths have been forced to go abroad in search of employment and a little hope . This period of compulsion remained uninterrupted for 240 years of the Shah Dynasty.
It is true that this tragic chapter of history has continued in democracy and republic. We will conduct a ruthless review on where and how the party leaders failed to disrupt the order. But such a review should be done in the light of history. But the former king should not forget that the whole people will easily forget the history of a decade ago.
Gyanendra said, every problem can be solved through dialogue, agreement, coordination and cooperation. Even though he said this, his past is enough, how he used to love dialogue and agreement and how he was imprisoned in the circle of one selfish person and ignored the issue of what is happening in the global world . Keeping everything else in the details, the former king must speak about what happened 15 days ago and what his role will be in the fair investigation of the incident that killed two people . In the light of all the weaknesses of the party, he cannot ignore his role in the incident, it is not forgivable. Democracy has been established by the people so that everyone from the leader to the people will be treated the same in terms of law and order. How can the former king get away with it?
