Kathmandu, June 02: Continuing their protests demanding restoration of democratic rights in Nepal, thousands of activists from main political parties today staged demonstrations in the capital and urged king Gyanandra to re-install the constitutional order. The agitating parties have been demanding the king to form an all party government vested with all the executive powers to "correct the past mistakes" and termed the last October's royal proclamation as "anti-democratic". The protesters numbering more than 6,000 also shouted slogans against the king's dismissal of the elected government. "We want parliament restored. We want democracy," chanted the demonstrators. The protest was organised by the United Marxist Leninist Communist Party of Nepal, the second largest political party in the country. The five parties on Friday had recommended the name of CPN-UML general-secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal as their prime ministerial candidate following a suggestion of the king to the parties to name a prime ministerial candidate through consensus. "We have recommended (Madhav Kumar) Nepal's name for prime minister but conspiracy may be hatched against us," Nepali Congress spokesperson Arjun Narsigh K C said. Those who also claimed for premiership include Rastriya Prajatantra Party leader Surya Bahadur Thapa and Nepali Congress (Democratic) leader Sher Bahadur Deuba. However, the five parties are insisting that the prime minister must be appointed from their parties only. Bureau Report
