Recently Nepal's Supreme Court stayed the government from demolishing the statue of Prithvi Narayan Shah. Maoist government wanted to demolish the statue but Supreme court has prevented them from destroying. However, in the past we have seen Maoist government don't really care about Supreme Court. What happened while recruiting the priest in Pashupatinath. They went on with recruitment despite Surpeme Court verdict that their selection was illegal. Ntt only that they went on the beat the priest. Prithivi Naran Shaha is no more a national Icon. He has already been removed from the list of National hero by Maoist led government. Do you think that now he is no more a national hero ( that's what is written) that his statue should be removed?

They should not be allowed to destroy any statue, they should be kept in a museum. This goes same to rana statues and anything from panchayat time. Even Hitler statues are kept in museum so I think we should keep parts of history, both good and bad.

I absolutely disagree putting the statues in museum. Just think right, how many people care even going to museum.Statues and things look good where they were built .  It also marks respect to the one who created it.  Putting into museum means you are whipping out history in a very cunning and deceitful way. Demolish nai garne ho bhane " why not demolish Narayanhiti Rajdurbar" . Demolish all the vestiges of Royals.
