Describe the main features of movement that happened in nepal
Answers
Answer:
Nepal witnessed an extraordinary movement in April 2006.
(i) The movement aimed to reverse King Gyanendra's orders of dismissing the Parliament and restore democracy in the country.
(ii) All the major political parties in the Parliament came together and formed an alliance called the Seven Party Alliance (SPA) which announced a four-day strike in Kathmandu, Nepal's capital.
(iii) They were joined by Maoist insurgents and various other organisations as their protests developed into an indefinite strike. Lakhs of people resisted curfew and gathered on the streets every day demanding the restoration of democracy. Ultimately, the king was forced to concede all the demands of the people, i.e. restoration of the Parliament, power to an all-party government and the formation of a new constituent assembly.
