Isolated Freak!! ] liked ur comment here too... just to add an extra point.. i would like to remind you an incident of some times ago... when indira gandhi declared the state of emmergency... it was the time india invented so much money to help separate bangladesh from pakistan... and indira gandhi was so much criticized about that issue in india.. coz india got not benefit for their investment of helping bangladesh.... she declared the state of emergency too... and no news paper for 4 days (or even more i am not sure now.. you need to find it thru search machine) and all opposition leader were in house arrest for several days.. now not to forget india was the largest democratic country popoluationwise..... "What had once seemed a remote possibility took place on June 25, 1975: the president declared an Emergency and the government suspended civil rights. Because the nation's president, Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed (1974-77), and Gandhi's own party members in Parliament were amenable to her personal influence, Gandhi had little trouble in pushing through amendments to the constitution that exonerated her from any culpability, declaring President's Rule in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu where anti-Indira parties ruled, and jailing thousands of her opponents. In her need to trust and confide in someone during this extremely trying period, she turned to her younger son, Sanjay, who became an enthusiastic advocate of the Emergency. Under his watchful eyes, forced sterilization as a means of birth control was imposed on the poor, increased numbers of urban squatters and slum dwellers in Delhi were evicted in the name of beautification projects, and disgruntled workers were either disciplined or their wages frozen. The Reign of Terror, as some called it, continued until January 18, 1977, when Gandhi suddenly relaxed the Emergency, announced the next general election in March, and released her opponents from prison." cited from http://www.indianchild.com/indira_gandhi.htm since we dont have president.. so i think king has right to impose emergency and work for country.. and i dont see if there is any other reason but make political instability in nepal by india.. Indian should not forget their state of emergency tooo.
