Monarchy's stand for nation, people and democracy

It goes without saying that the parties, their wavering leaderships in their height of irresponsibility, lack of vision, spinelessness have evidenced their incapability and zeal to demonstrate their earnest perceptions for the good of the country and people. They are unable to come out democratically and constitutionally with amicable formula. Instead, carrying their discreditable image, they lacked boldness to face the people. As political cowards they run away from the arena of democratic competition, remaining squeezed within the cocoon of their unfounded squabbles. It is nothing more than seeking avenue for selfish opportunism, applying all sorts of conspiratorial pressure tactics. The de-saddled, failed political leaders blabber with their sole vested intentions to continue the unproductive tradition of occupying musical chairs of governance. This is being done regardless of measuring the currents of public sentiments. They do not realize that they are unsuccessful in appropriately addressing the grievances of the people, the most invincible force. One fails to fathom that the popular concern is for their legitimate right to live in peace and security, aspiring for the country's development, severely skidding down to a low ebb. All this is due to non-accountability of parties and leaders.

No body can deny the adverse results, from poor performance of the sequential occupation of musical chairs of power by the partisan governments, throughout the past periods. There has been ruthless black mailing of the ideals of true democracy. The population could never enjoy its benefits proportionately, except by those self-centered political elements throwing their weights around, along the corridors of state governance. People have become fully aware of the reality, that development and institutionalization of democratic polity, in its right perspective had in fact been blatantly sabotaged. This was done by those very incapable political leaders themselves, who constantly hatched one conspiracy after another by hoodwinking the population, to continue their bad politics of exploitation only. One need not cast any doubt in the light of the fact that the King has made his bold indications in the right direction, as head of the state and preserver of the constitution. This is in consonance with what today's situation warrants. The truth is that no other alternative than the constitutional monarchy and multiparty democracy must move together in balanced, rational and productive way through national consensus. This is required in the larger interest of the nation and people. It seems to be the singular concern of the monarchy.

Constitutionally also, King has again spoke out his mind of being committed to institutionalizing democracy along its right track. He is not inclined to remain blind to the plight of the people, who are the main focal point of democracy. It must be seen from the periscope of new order of national unity and consensus. It is categorically stated by the King that the monarchy has and will always be siding with the prime interest of the nation, the people and in protecting their constitutional rights, as envisaged in the constitution. He would continue his rightful role, as defined constitutionally. For betterment, all must cooperate with common understanding to discharge their legitimate responsibility democratically, within the ambit of the constitution. Currently, this is the dire necessity, in keeping with the wishes of the people, as the supreme entity and determinants of the country's destiny. The message has clearly driven home the fact, considering the fluidity of deflective polity of the country. It is divulging away from its proper course, carrying individual power hungry ego and vested ambition of politicians. There is proliferation.


The most essential environment is a must for finding peaceful solution to the impending political crisis, through all front collective and cooperative effort. This is the only means to remove the black cloud of uncertainty overwhelming the national horizon. The candid revelation of the King appears to be explicit in imparting top most priority to unsolved burning issues, gripping the interest of the Nation and popular aspiration. New order of secured existence in peace is vital. The monarchy is committed to constitutional democracy in a degree, nothing less or nothing more than what is implicit within the provisions of the constitution. The dynamics of its operation has to be in keeping with the larger interest of the country, people and sustenance of people-oriented democratic polity. It cannot be allowed to function derailed from the existing constitutional track. The fault lies squarely on the part of the parties and the capricious minded, dishonest leaderships, driven by their own manipulative tendency. Their vulture eyes are ever set to violate the very constitutional norms, to suit their own purpose and not in serving the cause of the nation or the people.

Such trend has become starkly naked on their part. They must come to the track from their own detraction, by putting the interest of the nation and people far above their narrow partisan motive and greed-infested individual aims. As long as their default persists, their public non-credibility continues to remain conspicuous, without any hope of achieving anything. No leaf will be stirred through pressure games of misleading, attention-diverting ego-oriented derogative politics. It is only harming the sanctity of patriotism of the soil and the urge for integrated national existence by giving way to disintegrated extinction. They are proving to be stooges of slavish politics under external enslavement and destabilizing conspiracies germinating the very national soil. Time demands that the parties and badly tainted leaders, refrain from putting up obnoxious political drama of treachery to jeopardize public feelings, wanting clear way to peace, law and order. In place of this kind of senseless, damaging political practice, one must adopt constructive approach, bearing in mind resolving of the ongoing political crisis, created by their own fool hardy impunity and errant behaviour. It is not at all palatable any more to any one in this country.

The so-called political leaderships failed in their duties towards the citizenry. King has the right to be with the people and in their midst in order to facilitate proper addressing of their grievances, provide appropriate relief to the plight of their suffering. He is quite concerned in exploring the possible avenues of solving the country's critical problems that are impeding stability, development and progress, in a manner these ought to have advanced. The same could materialize only through better understanding, cooperation, goodwill and collective efforts of all sectors. This is exactly what the countrymen are longing for from the guardian institution of monarchy, as the ultimate bedrock to anchor their hopes and expectation to see the new gleam of silver lining in the dark cloud. Political miscreants must bear in mind that democracy is to be practiced to serve the country and the people and not to undermine them by putting their vested interest priorities above all. This is the realism that needs to be swallowed down the throat by each and everyone, not desirous of suffering the penance of disintegrated extinction, in place of blessings of integrated national existence.
