PATAN (LALITPUR), March 23: Nepali Congress President and former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said that there is no possibility of the return of monarchy in Nepal.
Speaking at a programme organised by the Training Department of the Nepali Congress Bagmati Province Committee on Sunday, party President Deuba, hinting at the activities of the pro-monarchists since some days back, said former King Gyanendra Shah cannot become a constitutional king.
"There is no possibility of the return of monarchy in Nepal. Gyanendra is not even a person worthy of becoming a constitutional monarch. Rather, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party can make Gyanendra the party president,” he said, addressing the inauguration of the training programme for the office-bearers and members of the NC Province Working Committee.
Deuba suggested former King Gyanendra to open a political party if he really was interested in politics.
"Better open a party if you really want to do politics! But those joining that party will suffer a lot," he said and directed the leaders and cadres to work unitedly in favour of the republic.
