King-People Relations
MINISTER for Information and Communications Ramesh Nath
Pandey said that the relationship between the King and the people of Nepal has always been
close, cordial and cooperative and no one can ever create a barrier between the monarch
and the people. Speaking at a function in Biratnagar the other day, Minister for
Information and Communication Pandey said that His Majesty the King is always concerned
with people's well-being and Nepalese people also have strong and unflinching faith and
trust on the institution of monarchy. History is witness that it was monarchy that has
always played crucial and decisive role in times of national crisis and rescued the nation
and the people. The role of monarchy has been very instrumental in the unification,
modernisation, development and democratisation of the country. There are instances that
Shah Kings have even sacrificed the Throne for the cause of people and the nation. It is
for this reason why people always revere the King as their saviour. The overwhelming
presence of people in the Royal civic reception organised in Biratnagar recently on behalf
of the people of Eastern Development Region is an example of the relations between the
monarch and the people. Similar moves have also been made from other regions too to
facilitate Their Majesties the King and the Queen. Some elements who are trying to create
a wall between the monarch and people are scared with this closer King-people
relationship. But these elements, as said by Minister for Information and Communication
Pandey, would never be successful. Moreover, the present government had been entrusted to
immediately start the process for building peace. The result has been the declaration of
the cease-fire between the government and Maoists, which is expected to be transformed
into a lasting peace. The cease-fire is the result of strong desire of all for peace,
prosperity and stability. Some parties are now trying to derail this peace process on
different pretexts. But people are careful enough not to allow anybody to create a
roadblock to peace process. The institution of Monarchy is the meeting point of all forces
and people in Nepal and the country's ultimate future also lies on the monarchical culture
and stronger King-people relationship.
