PM Deuba challenges former King Gyanendra to contest polls



KATHMANDU: Prime Minister and Nepali Congress (NC) President Sher Bahadur Deuba has challenged former King Gyanendra Shah to contest the election if he has desires to rule the country.

Speaking at a program on Wednesday, Prime Minister Deuba warned former King Gyanendra not to make any statements and moves that are against democracy.
