The
felicitation, initially scheduled to be organised at Basantapur, was
organised at Nirmal Niwas after the government suggested Shah not to

Following the cancellation of Shah's visit the organisers chanted pro-monarchy slogans.
Earlier, authorities had asked the organising committee to correct a banner that read "His Majesty's Government" citing it would be against the constitution. However, the organisers did not comply with the government directive.
