“What's the big deal. Let him go anywhere he wishes.....I won't be surprised if the day comes when giriaja complains that king went to bathroom.... My point is why make bid deal of nothing...there are important things to worry about. He never spoke a word when three bombs blasted and innocent bystanders died..” – Kathmandubasi You took the words out of my mouth. If GPK wants to display his manliness he should show the courage to stand up to abominable Maoist excesses that need urgent attention, not roar at a docile and benevolent king who ostensibly in his eyes committed an unpardonable “sin” by daring to offer his prayers to the living goddess at Basantapur Durbar. Even the authoritarian regimes in China and Myanmar don’t go this far. It totally beggars belief. Most of us are God-fearing and we routinely visit temples/Mosques every so often in Nepal. Why should the king be barred from worshiping Gods and Goddesses? Is that the biggest sin that the king can commit? Why do we have such a low tolerance threshold for the king while we are willing to put up with horrible atrocities from both the political parties and Maoists without batting an eyelid?
