KATHMANDU: Pro-monarchy forces have announced the launch of a nationwide movement demanding the restoration of the monarchy and the re-establishment of Nepal as a ‘Sanatan’ Hindu state.
Nawaraj Subedi, coordinator of the National Campaign Committee to Reinstate Monarchy and Hindu Nationhood, announced the start of an indefinite mass movement from May 29 during a press conference held in Kathmandu on Thursday.
“We are launching an indefinite, peaceful mass movement from May 29,” Subedi declared. “Our campaign will be based on civil disobedience and Satyagraha.”
He clarified that the goal is to bring about systemic change rather than target any particular government or political party.
The announcement event was attended by key monarchist figures, including Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) Chair Rajendra Lingden, RPP Nepal Chair Kamal Thapa, and veteran Panchayat-era leader Keshar Bahadur Bista.
