Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala Monday said that he was misinterpreted as a savior of monarchy because the journalists attending the meeting did not understand what he exactly meant, writes nepalese news portal, eKantipur.
PM Koirala said that simply because the journalists present in the meeting did not grasp what he said, he was presented as a savior of monarchy in the form of a minor king.
Interacting with media persons Monday, PM Koirala said that he was talking to the media men about an advice that he had given to the king some eight months ago and that the circumstances have completely changed now.
The PM further said, that had King Gyanendra and Crown Prince Paras acted on his advice that he gave eight months ago and abdicated, the situation would have been completely different.
– But now the people will decide the fate and future of the monarchy by casting votes to elect a Constituent Assembly, he added.
PM Koirala Sunday had made remarks before a group of Pakistani journalists who were accompanied by Nepali journalists of weeklies and fortnightlies, that the king and crown prince should abdicate ahead of the CA polls to clear way for a minor king for the continuation of monarchy in the country.
