Leaders of former rebels ask Nepal's king to voluntarily step down

KATMANDU, Nepal: The communist winners of last month's elections asked King Gyanendra on Tuesday to voluntarily leave his palace before the newly elected Constituent Assembly abolishes Nepal's centuries-old monarchy.

Top leaders of the former communist rebels, formally known as Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), said Gyanendra should leave the palace before May 28 — when the assembly meets for the first time — so there can be a smooth transition to a republic state.

"The king should voluntarily leave the palace even before the first meeting of the Constituent Assembly. If he does that, we will allow him to live as a common citizen and guarantee him security," Maoist leader Prachanda said.
