King's constructive role benefits the nation

Since the advent of the multiparty political system back in 1990, Nepal has been the laboratory for the political experiments. The political experiments in a country, which is very poor, will be so expensive that the process of other development activities would be stalled. Thus, Nepal cannot afford any kind of political experiments. No one should even think about to make a fortune out of the political experiments. Unfortunately, it is the loophole in the framework of the Constitution that provided all sorts of political experimentations. It is the very loophole that prompted the political parties and leaders to exploit the situations ruining the country and the people. We have witnessed major flaws in every sector of the Government institutions because of the weak installation of the Constitutional framework. We should not be hesitating to say that the Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal (1990) has become rotten. It is no longer relevant. How far it is appropriate to give life to the dead body? Does not this sound silly and impractical?
It is the weaknesses of the Constitution, which gave birth to the political maneuvering and this resulted into the sufferings of the Nepali people. The so-called democratic parties and leaders very cleverly exploited the weaknesses of the Constitution; played with the future of Nepal and finally, escaped without a trial. They rubbed Nepal and the Nepali people. The Constitution has failed to act as a shield against those culprits. It is the King who is risking His throne to save the country from further destruction. It is the King who is in desperate attempt to rejuvenate the people's hope and put the country in a right direction as far as the economic development and the unity among the Nepali brethrens are concerned. HM King, since assuming the Executive power, which is also the outcome of the flaws in the Constitution, has neither acted nor said anything against the democratic norms. What is wrong when His Majesty said, "the days are gone for the King to be a passive onlooker when people are grieving with tears?" Can anybody dare to say the King has no right to do something against the plight of the people? Can anybody dare to say the King has no right to fight against the enemies of the Nepali society i.e., poverty, hunger, illiteracy, corruption and the political mafiaism? Cannot the King solace the people in need? HM King, like we all, is a Nepali. If the King is Nepali, what is wrong when He wants to put the Nepali nation in a right track? What is wrong when He wants to stand in favor of the people? What is wrong when Nepal is recovering its lost dignity under the King's leadership?
Nepal was not seen in the list of the nations of rampant corruptions in 2003. We should be proud with such amazing news. We can hope this trend will continue further. It should be the guiding factor for the political leaders once the general elections take place, which the government of Prime Minister Surya Bahadur Thapa is desperate to make it happen as soon as possible. What scores more is, under the visionary leadership of the King, at least, Nepal could escape from its regular entitlement of one of the most corrupt nations in the world. For sure, the donor community feels secure to channel their resources to Nepal at a time when those are properly managed. If so, one can put forth a suggestion that while drafting the new constitution, the King's role to put the barrier against the economic mismanagement could be considered which seems to be beneficial to the nation. The people of Nepal have experienced that the King's assertion of constructive role is far more beneficial to the nation vis-à-vis His solitary confinement. If the King's constructive role is beneficial for the people and the nation, there is no reason to feel awkward giving Him role to play for the sake of the nation and the Nepali people.
