The voices raised about the restoration of the monarchy on the streets of Nepal and the demand of the Hindu nation are now on the target of the government. Due to the intensity of this movement that has been going on for the last five days, there is also an increase in restlessness in the corridors of power.
Now PM KP Sharma Oli’s government has made open preparations to crush this movement. The ring road area of Kathmandu has been declared banned for two months.
At the same time, the government has also filed a case against 61 people including two top leaders of the National Democracy Party (RPP), including Ravindra Mishra and Dhawal Shamsher Rana, involved in the monarchy movement.
All 61 people have been booked against the state on serious charges like crime, unrest and organized crime.
The police scrambled during a pro -monarchy demonstration on Sunday with former Nepal Deputy Prime Minister Kamal Thapa.
Leaders of agitation were underground for fear of action
Mishra and Rana and other big leaders have been underground to avoid the action of Oli government.
Sources reveal that these leaders are joining the party’s internal strategic meetings, but have become underground to avoid the government’s arrest action. Their mobile switches are off and many other leaders have also limited their contact.
The movement is now operating from social media, private channels and party networks.
The protesters are demanding the restoration of the constitutional monarchy and the end of the provincial system and the direct election of the executive Prime Minister besides the Hindu nation.
All three big parties including Oli’s party are united against the movement
PM Oli’s CPN-UML, Nepali Congress and Maoist Center, the three parties have announced to fight the movement together.
Oli, Nepali Congress chief Sher Bahadur Deuba and Maoist leader Pushpakamal Dahal Prachanda agreed to take a joint stand on the issue in a meeting held at the Prime Minister’s Office in Singdarbar on Monday. The three parties made it clear that they would not allow the Constitution-Lok Tantra movement to succeed.
