The government had recently cancelled a religious function at Basantapur to be attended by Gynendra, saying the government was not in a condition to provide him security.
“Ask the government whether it should prevent someone from attending a religious function. In my view, it should not prevent citizens from doing so,” said Paras.
Former Prime Minister Bhattarai, who has been admitted to Norvik Hospital, has been publicly speaking in favor of constitutional monarchy.
