Prajatantra, while I have no doubt about your intention and I personally wished that things would go that way but I don't believe this cunning, arrogant and tricky king would allow things so smoothly. Look at the facts of 12 years of democracy and constitutional monarchy in Nepal. Despite we had parliaments, elected government etc, our prime minister never could go against the will of the king. Army had never been under the Prime minister or parliament or Defence Council and they never co-operated with the government. During the tenure of Sher Bahadur, the prime minister was just a rubber stamp of the king and he did whatever the king wanted. Even, UML's Bharat Mohan Adhikary couldn't stop increasing the allowance of Royal Palace. When he replaced Lokendra Bahadur Chand with Surya Bahadur Thapa, he had said that Surya Bahadur and his government formed under article 35 and has the executive power. When Sher Bahadur became the prime minster the last time, he was again the prime minister with the power of the same article. But each time, there was article 127 that he manipulated and sacked the governments and re-instated whenever he wanted. This new speech of the king no where admits his mistakes. He failed to make promise that he wouldn't touch that article 127 any more. Some more points: Unlike the tradition, he didn't dissolve this government before he invites the parties to form the new government. Which article of the constitution allows him to take the sovereignity of the power as a "naso" and return to the people at his discretion? When the current government continues to exists officially, on what ground he can ask for a new government without dismissing it? What should be responsibilities of the new "would be government"? In previous government formation, the king always gave directives and guidelings to function. So, the parties should not plan themselevs or dream what they are supposed to do after embarking on the new governemnt. It should be pre-decided. Once the leaders start talking to the king, the protest will cool down and again the king will start getting back to his shape. The snake is just injured. Unless we crush its head, it will recover soon and will be ready to bite you again.
