The royalist movement showed naked dancing in the capital. In the name of restoration of the monarchy, there was violence, arson, looting, continuous attacks on journalists and security personnel on the streets of Kathmandu.

Such incidents are sure to further destabilize the country. In today's perspective, the kind of chaos that these protesters are creating in the name of restoring the constitutional monarchy, is taking the form of 'anarchic mafia robbery' rather than 'political movement'.

The incident where a journalist of Avenues was burnt alive and killed in a house makes the real purpose of this movement clear. If the royalists are right, why are they infringing on freedom of the press and the safety of journalists? Vandalism in Kantipur, Annapurna and other media houses in the name of protest, threats to journalists and attempts to hide the truth are motivated by good intentions? This incident shows that their movement is based on the strategy of coercion and suppression in the name of peaceful protest. Rather than 'protecting the constitution and democracy', it is promoting the plan of 'repression and fear mongering'.

The Avenues journalist would have lived if only the firemen who went to put out the fire in the house burnt by the alleged protesters had not been vandalized, so it is necessary to understand his death as a 'murder by the royalist'. Durga Prasain, Rabindra Mishra, Navraj Subedi, Dhaval Shamsher Rana and Gyanendra Shah must take charge of it.

People like Durga Prasai, who are leading this movement, are not fighting for the restoration of the monarchy by understanding the will of the people. These people are starting a movement in the name of monarchy to fulfill their personal interests. Vandalizing commercial centers like Bhatbhateni, burning houses of innocent citizens and looting shops are pushing the country towards chaos and conflict. Is this the right way to return the 'constitutional monarchy'? It is degrading and discrediting the idea of ​​monarchy and it is taking the form of organized crime. Attacking the security personnel of the state, burning their vehicles and trying to take away their weapons is also aimed at destroying the legal structure of the state.

The time has come to raise serious questions about the silent spectator role of the government. The security system was seen to be inactive during three-four hours of violence in Tinkune, Koteshwar, Sinamangal areas. Is the government using this incident according to its political interests? If the government really wants to stand up for the people, it should not be lagging behind in stopping the violence and prosecuting the culprits.

Yesterday's incident also proved that this movement is not to return the monarchy, but rather a conspiracy to destroy democracy. Such activities lose the confidence of the people, push the country further towards chaos and conflict.
