On March 2, 9 Nepalese political parties signed a joint manifesto condemning the resurgence of monarchist activities in Nepal. In a long editorial, The Telegraph newspaper claims that a restoration plan for King Gyanendra Shah is being finalized.
According to the newspaper, India, China and Russia would be maneuvering to put an end to the anarchic political situation which reigns in Nepal.
Still according to this newspaper, "India, China and the Russian Federation have invited King Gyanendra to Bangkok to finalize the deal". It is impossible to confirm this information at this stage which could only be the subject of speculation.
King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev was ruler of Nepal between 1950 and 1951, 2001 and 2008 before being overthrown in a revolution. He is very present in the politics of his country and has launched a campaign in favor of the restoration of the monarchy.
