Nepal’s ruling coalition has called for the arrest of former king Gyanendra Shah, 78, after violence erupted during a pro-monarchy protest in which two persons, including a journalist, were killed in Kathmandu last week. On March 31 night, senior members of key republican parties met to coordinate a joint response, vowing to defend the federal democratic system from what they described as an “organised attempt to dismantle it”. While public frustration has risen over the failure of successive governments to deliver on commitments to develop Nepal’s economy, former king Gyanendra’s chances of regaining the throne remain slim in the near future, say analysts.
