BJP leader Advani backs constitutional monarchy in Nepal

As the country is only weeks away from voting the Constituent Assembly (CA) whose first meeting is expected to formally implement the decision to remove monarchy, a senior leader of India has backed the necessity of constitutional monarchy here.

Lal Krishna Advani, senior leader of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in his book "My Country, My Life" - released a few days ago in New Delhi - has stated that
constitutional monarchy is a symbol of Nepal's sovereignty and independence.

He has written that the constitutional monarchy should be preserved in Nepal like in many other countries of the world.

Advani has further written that Naxalites of India and Nepali Maoists have ties. "Everyone knows this. However, the United Progressive coalition central
government headed by Congress-I has ruled out this," he has said.

The BJP has been traditionally favouring the constitutional monarchy and Hindu state in Nepal. nepalnews.com sd Mar 22 08
