Himani is also a commoner

Himani is also a commoner

Freedom of movement, speech, writing, etc is among many that the constitution of our country allows its people to enjoy. Be it rich or poor; king or the common, everybody has equal basic rights that one is entitled to have since birth.

None can deny the fact that gone are the days of kings or queens or prince or princesses from Nepal after the establishment of republic through people's movement of 2062/063. The king has become powerless, general or common person like any other common Nepalese. The Royal Family has completely been obsolete; the presidential system has come into existence dethroning the king from his power. There's no possibility of Royal Family's coming into power at any cost, therefore no political party, especially Maoists, need be afraid of it. Obstruction of Maoist cadres towards the Royal family shows they are much scared than any other parties or people.
Some Maoist cadres caused obstruction to the former princess Himani Shah during her visit to Dolakha district on Tuesday (Aug 31, 2010). Amid the Maoist hurdle on her way to Namdu VDC, which is some 24 km far away from district headquarters Charikot, she took part at a program as scheduled. Some Maoist activists, acting on the order of district leader Bishal Khadka, obstructed the road in two places at Tamakoshi Bazaar. They had parked a truck, blocking the way and piling some logs to prevent Shah from attending the program organized by Rastriya Sarokar Mancha. They, however, were not present when Shah and her supporters reached the venue. The locals cleared the road on the ground of humanity and hospitality.

The district leader says that the obstruction was "a symbolic protest against the remnants of feudal monarchy" which is quite ridiculous in itself because they are themselves giving unnecessary publicity to the gone Royal Family member which is causing sympathy of people to them.

Shah had visited the district just for a social purpose. She had handed over two water tanks and 32,000 metre-long water pipe to a local water project on the occasion together with performing Pooja at Tripura Sundari Temple in Charikot.
