Gyanendra warned to keep out of politics
KATHMANDU: Nepal's Maoists on Thursday told ousted king Gyanendra to stay out of politics, the day after he left his sprawling palace following the abolition of his family's 240-year-old monarchy.
The warning came as the former rebels, who fought for a decade to oust the king, moved to take charge of a new government in the impoverished Himalayan country and newly established republic.
“He should not disturb the development of the republic, and refrain from engaging in counter-revolutionary activities,” Maoist second-in-command, Baburam Bhattarai, said of the king.
The ex-king, Gyanendra, left his palace late on Wednesday for a lodge on the edge of Kathmandu. —AFP
