Описание: Nepal: Thousands Welcome Ex-King Gyanendra Shah As Pro-Monarchy Sentiment Rises | Spotlight | N18G

Thousands of supporters greeted Nepal's former king in the capital Kathmandu on March 9 and demanded his abolished monarchy be reinstated and Hinduism brought back as a state religion. An estimated 10,000 supporters of Gyanendra Shah blocked the main entrance to Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport. "Vacate the royal palace for the king. Come back king, save the country. Long live our beloved king. We want monarchy,” the crowds chanted. Hundreds of riot police blocked the protesters from entering the airport. Massive street protests in 2006 forced Gyanendra to give up his authoritarian rule, and two years later the parliament voted to abolish the monarchy as Gyanendra left the Royal Palace.
