Nepal’s former King expresses grief over violent protests

Nepal’s former King Gyanendra Shah on Sunday expressed sorrow over the violence during last month’s pro-monarchy protests in Kathmandu.

Two were killed and over 110 others were injured during the March 28 violent protests by monarchy supporters who demanded the re-reinstatement of monarchy and the establishment of a Hindu state.

“Democracy is the greatest system to guard civil liberties,” he said.
