Under sustained pressure from mainstream political parties and Maoists to restore democracy, Nepal's King Gyanendra on Thursday night called for general elections.

"It is our desire that with the active participation of all political parties committed to peace and democracy, a meaningful exercise in multi-party democracy be initiated through an exemplary democratic exercise like the general elections," the king said in his Nepali new year broadcast.

The King said that general elections are the best way to exercise multi-party democracy in a meaningful way. In a short statement broadcast on Nepal Television, he asked political parties to resolve all issues through dialogue, saying, "The process of dialogue is always open to activate multi-party democracy system."

Gyanendra reiterated a call to political parties to "...bear responsibility of - and contribute to - activating the multi-party democratic polity."

His call for general elections came as the opposition's general strike entered the eight day on Thursday.

Good News !!

King should call all the leaders of these political parties, arrest them and send them for summary execution.

Why good news ? People are looking for election ? or To throw the entire corrupt royal system ?

If people go for election at this moment, nothing will improve. Same king, same ministers and same environment. Hell no to election. Go to uproot the king.

Don't Go to Election where Gyane will be always the ruler.

We want People's leader not motha foka Gyane

This is nothing new. Gyane just trying to take bath with milk and purify homself........even he might be reluctant to give this message. Jhara tarne kaam matra bhayeko cha.........................

ज्ञानेले हरियो घाँस पनि हैन, पराललाई हरियो प्लाष्टिकले बेरेर टाट्नामा फ्याँकेको छ। कस्ले पत्याऊँछ तेस्ता कुरा?
संविधानसभामा जाने कुरा त टाढै भो, प्रतिनिधिसभालाई ब्यूँताउने कुराको समेत साईँसूईँ छैन। ज्ञानेको पराल खान अरु त अरु, सूर्य बहादुर बनमारा र पशुपति राणा पनि नजालान्!

hahahahahahahahahahahaa

Very dil ko kura you said. EXACTLY!!!

Gyane is just playing shrewd as he knows his arse going to be kicked for good from Nepal. It was excellent that his offer for talks was declined instantaneously so that he knows where he stands now.

A killer, killer's father, and dictator; I do hope he is prosecuted and made abdicated.

राजातन्त्रको नास् नभ्ए सम्म नेपाली जनता ले सुख पऊदैन । अहिले जो कोही जिर्न अवस्था को राजतन्त्र को आद मा जनता को रगत को होली खेलिरहेको छ्, २०४६ साल म जस्तो छुत पाउने छैन

Its a good news for all who have been demanding democracy. The so called democratic political parties are against such an election, because they won't have any rigged election under king's rule. They are simply afraid of going to people and convince them.

totally agreed with nepali budho. this is all just gayne nataks.

another nepali,
it is not true that parties would be afraid of elections (at least i do not beleive they r)...they and maoist as well are demanding fro Constitutional assembly elections, and they are prepared for whatever people will decide including future of monarchy
IF gyane had peoples' support he should have called for election to contitutional assembly or at least talked with SPA about the modalities of the elections..

IF SPA goes into elections under KG term, i would oppose that in whatever capacity i can.

Dear biswa, Why constituent assembly? These corrupt political parties are demanding constituent assembly because this is the only way they can get back to power. If these parties had still been in power, they would have never demanded such a constitution assembly. These parties are so ugly and shameless that they enjoyed the present constitution as long as it was giving them power. Now, they are against the present constitution because it is no longer helping them.
