Nepal king about to be told to go

Thursday 8th May, 2008
Nepal's Election Commission has finalised the recent election results, which leaves embattled King Gyanendra with just 21 days of privileged life.
Though the fateful election took place on April 10th, the Election Commission has only just made the final formal announcement of results.
The Election Commission said it would formally convey the election results to the parliament secretariat as well as the Prime Minister's Office.
Once that is done, according to Nepal's interim constitution, the newly elected assembly has to hold its meeting within three weeks.
The assembly, therefore, would have to meet by May 29th, when King Gyanendra would be formally proclaimed a commoner and his 239-year-old throne would be abolished.
Stripped of his crown and asked to leave the royal palace, where generations of his family have lived, the king would have to lead the life of a law-abiding citizen without his former privileges, which included immunity from legal proceedings.

THE GOVERNING OFFICIAL MUST GIVE A RESPECT TO THE DEPOSED KING AND THE LEASE THEY COULD DO IS RETIRE HIM AND GIVE PENSION FOR LIVE AND STAY AWAY FROM POLITICS. GIVE HIM HIS PALACE OR A HOME IN EXILE AFTER ALL THE MONARCH IS ONCE RESPECTED BY THE OLDER GENWERATION THAT MAKES THE HIMALAYAN COUNTRY AS A KINGDOM IN THE TOP OF THE WORLD. COUNTRY OF THE FIGHTING GURHKAS KNOWN FOR THIER BRAVERY AND LOYALTY.MUST UNDERSTAND IT IS PART OF THE NEPALIS HERITAGE.
