Nepal declared republic, monarchy abolished
Adjust font size:

Thousands of Nepali people gathered in front of ICC, to pressurize the parties to end the talks conclusively at the earliest and sit for the first CA meeting. Chanting slogans of victory and demanding an immediate declaration of Nepal a republication, many party cadres with their respective flags desperately waited in front of ICC for hours.

"It's a big day for every Nepalese and a victorious moment. We feel that our contributions have finally paid off. We are very excited yet annoyed," says Rabindra Bhandari, a member of Young Communist League (YCL) on Wednesday afternoon.

"It's been more than six hours waiting in front of ICC and yet no sign of meeting has come ahead. The parties should immediately reach an agreement and sit for the CA meeting. We are not going home unless we hear that Nepal has been declared a federal republic," he said.

Similarly, Bhagat Magar, 29, claimed that it was the first stepmaking of a New Nepal and that he expects a true patriotic approach from all the leaders towards the nation.
