Message from Khalanga

-

The large crowd of locals present to greet former King Gyanendra in Khalanga, Jumla district, on Saturday, April 6, itself is a referendum about the popularity of the institutio­n of monarchy. The gathering is itself against the present political system, which has scrapped the existence of the Hindu kingdom and introduced federalism.

Addressing the gathering, the former King recalled the historical significan­ce of the Jumla, Singja and Karnali civilizati­ons and the origin of the Nepali language, culture, tradition, and religion.

Meanwhile, the King noted the present bleak scenario of the country. He didn’t forget to explain about Nepal becoming a dependent nation, although, has a huge amount of natural resources and the general public is going abroad seeking jobs and a two-time meal. “What is lacking in Kalikot, Mugu, Humla, and Dolpa?”, the King has questioned as we are unable to harness the nature-gifted resources!

Finally, the King has asked the people to stand up together to return the past glories of the nation and to stand up together once again to build the nation. Moreover, the King has drawn the attention of the leaders from different political parties to correct the present path which leads the nation towards downfall urging them to develop a new understand­ing, dialogue and a new agreement through an all-sector roundtable.

The message given by the King is enough to understand. The only question is whether we are ready to save the nation or not, whether we are ready to make the nation prosperous or not, as the present system is not going to save our beloved motherland. Everybody can understand that the entire Nepali population--except for those foreign-funded traitors, political parties enjoying power and exploiting government coffers and their loyal party workers--have already stood against the present political system. If those, who are in power, have a little sense about their future, if they are worried about the bleak future of the nation, and if they want to avoid a bloody agitation in the offing, they can end the crisis amicably, otherwise, another bloodbath is obvious in the country.
