Monarchy is beyond and above party ideologies and electoral politics. History is testimony that change of regime by the fall of a monarch have led to totalitarian and oppressive rule. For relevant instances, this took place in Russia in 1918, Greece and Spain in the 1960s, Afghanistan in 1970s, Cambodia and Laos in 1980s. Keeping in view the ongoing political scenario in Nepal where the communists are striving perilously and vehemently to solidify their unity, has sparked growing concern in the national and international community that too at a time when this pseudo-communism is virtually at the threshold of falling apart.
It is really alarming and raises serious distress to the patriot democrats. Everyone should once again thumb over the pages of the first 12-point memorandum where the SPA and Maoists had arrived at an agreement of deciding the fate of monarchy by holding the CA Polls. Now it is astonishing that the same Maoists and other like-minded communist outfits are melodramatically not abiding by their previous decisions and barking to close down the monarchy by interim legislature, which is illogical, and hilarious.
Hasty decisions and shortsightedness would lead Nepal nowhere but to cold-blooded civil war. Farsightedness and patience till constituent polls is highly imperative in this serious and sensitive issue of monarchy and this will be acceptable to all including the international community. I, therefore, appeal to all democrats to unite against the evil Diktat of the communists and likeminded people to bring back the derailed politics of Nepal into the right track.
