At least 2 dead in Nepal after pro-monarchy supporters clash with police during rally

  • On Friday, March 28, 2025, pro-monarchy activists and republicans held simultaneous protests in different parts of Kathmandu, Nepal, leading to clashes and widespread unrest.
  • The protests were fueled by growing demand for the restoration of the monarchy and Hinduism as the state religion, coupled with dissatisfaction over political instability, corruption, and lacklustre economic development since the monarchy's abolition in 2008.
  • Pro-Monarchist demonstrators, including supporters of former King Gyanendra Shah, gathered in large numbers at Tinkune and other locations, chanting slogans like "Raja aau desh bachau" and demanding the reinstatement of the monarchy, while republicans gathered at Bhrikutimandap.
  • Former King Gyanendra Shah, who issued a video message on Democracy Day urging support for his cause, had largely refrained from commenting on Nepal's politics but recently made public appearances with supporters, while Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' and other leaders addressed republican counter-rallies.
  • Police used tear gas, water cannons, and batons to disperse the pro-monarchy demonstrators who vandalized buildings, set fire to at least two houses, and attempted to breach security barricades, resulting in injuries to both protesters and police officers, leading to the imposition of a curfew in affected areas.
