These Fu** are insane. Instead of making these palaces as a Museum or something, they want to use these as their luxury means so that they can sit on their FAT ass enjoy every bit of it. Way to go for so called New Nepal………..

Narayanhiti may one day become a ‘presidential palace’

In an interesting revelation, Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Prithvi Subba Gurung has said the government is mulling to turn the Naryanhiti royal palace into a ‘presidential palace’.



Speaking at an interaction programme organised by the Reporters Club in the capital Tuesday, minister Gurung said the government was mulling over whether to use the Naranhiti palace, where King Gyanendra lives currently, as the office of the future head of the state or the Prime Minister. He said the constituent assembly would take a final decision on this.

Gurung further said that most of the palaces and lands owned by late King Birendra and the property owned by Gyanendra as the King have been brought under the government ownership.

According to the minister, 43825 ropanies of jungle area and more than 1900 ropanies of land have already been nationalised and that the ownership certificates of these estates and the Nayanhiti palace have been issued in government’s name.

The nationalisation drive will be completed when the upcoming cabinet meeting approves the decisions of the five-member ministerial committee formed to nationalise the royal property.

The ministerial committee has not however found any bank account of King Gyanendra in Nepal, Gurung, himself a member of the committee, informed.

The government had directed the Nepal Rastra Bank to provide details of the bank accounts, if any, of King Gyanendra. Minister Gurung said the committee has found accounts of late Queen Aishworya, late Crown Prince Dipendra and late Prince Nirajan in the Standard Chartered Bank and that the money is found to have been transferred to other bank accounts abroad.

The ministerial panel headed by Home Minister Krishna Prasad Sitaula, which has been given 15 days to complete its task, has already decided to nationalise at least 12 palaces, jungles and land owned by the King.

King Gyanendra is currently ‘vacationing’ at the Nagarjun palace, northwestern suburb of Kathmandu, which has also come under government ownership now

NARAYANHITI SHOULD BE PUBLIC! It's one of the last remaining green spaces in Kathmandu.

It is public, initally it was privet property of king, late king Mahendra sold it to Nepal government and deposited the monies at Swiss bank. It was not and is not king's privet property. It belongs to us.

DO NOT LET THOSE CORRUPT MOTHAFUGGERS TOUCH ANY PALACE.
NOW THOSE PALACES BELONG TO NEPALI PEOPLE NOT GHUSHYAAA CORRUPT POLITICIANS. THEY SHOULD BE TURNED INTO NEPALI MUSEUMS FOR ALL NEPALI TO SEE. NOT A LUXURY PALACE FOR THOSE USELESS POLITICIANS. DO NOTNTHEM THEM DESTROY THEM LIKE THEY DESTROYED THE COUNTRY.

These things make me sick man. I though it would be a museum for nepali people, but ake NOO, these bastards wants to make it a office for themselves. They can dream on. Boy can they take advantage in the name of democracy and nepali people.

Soon Prachanda the Great will be moving to Narayanhiti.

i think more than history and legacy of narayanhity, they want to make it a presidential palace because for the simple reason that it's close to TEACHING HOSPITAL and fairly close to bir hospital as well...hahahahaha....anything can happen anytime ni hoina?...especially if Prachanda sir becomes the president...

i say:
forget teaching or bir..how about somewhere in lalitpur close to patan hospital? mental hospital is also there.so...it will do both ways ..hahaha :D)

Oh man what's going on!!what this coward corrupted politicians chor Netas upto!! they've already turned our once happy free country into Hell!! we got to stop them right there!! they've already played dirty games with people's feeling in the name of democracy, now its their time to go to hell., C'mon guys lets join hands together and kick these bastard sameless politicians out of the country!!

Gyane and his family should buy a nice island, hire some beautiful girls to work there and life happily for the rest of their lives instead of dealing with everyday kyau kyau in Nepal. Nice sunny beach everyday sounds very appealing.

okay jokes apart, let me say what i actually feel about this:

don't really wanna exasperate anyone, but i don't see anything wrong in making narayanhity president's house or something of such sort. i am all up for preserving greeneries and space in KTM so if they leave the space in and around the palace as it is, convert some of the aesthetically pleasing sites and assets of historical importance into museums in part or in whole and build a presidential house somewhere as a part of the whole property, i am fine with that.

while i do understand the acerbic criticisms on the issue and frustration in our part against the corrupt politicians and sly maoists, i do also understand that 'president' is someone who will be elected by 'Nepali' people and hence is a 'representation' of a democratic Nepal in itself. narayanhity will be of nepal and nepalese.

on a more serious note:
how many of you would still condemn this proposal if YOU were to become the president ?

President Prachanda elected by force will reside in Narayanhity .... poor Girija, his hopes of moving to Narayanhity will die with him.

Soon civil war will be the answer to everything.

I condemn the proposal to live in Narayanhiti if I were to Become President !!!!!

cause ..i want bigger and nicer Palace Man !!!

Anyways ,, why let those corrupt bastards stay in people's palace??DO YOU KNOW THESE BASTARDS WILL SELL ALL THE PALACE AND GET COMMISSION OUT OF IT!!!
- don't be surprise to hear privatization of Palaces like all the industries.

This news suck.
It clearly reveals that politicians are thinking only about their nice and cosy future and they care least for the people. We haven't drilled for democracy to give birth to another tyrant! People want freedom from everyone including Girija and Prachanda. And if they fail to address people's agendas, they will face the consequences as Gyanendra is facing in the present contest .
The palace withholds the history of our nation so it should be declared museum.

if you do a direct presidential election, nanimaiya/golchhe sarki or govinda/jogmeher (with most money) could be the president. If you do it thru parliament khum bahadur/sujata could be the president. Look at indian election, it was so dirty and finally a corrupt/criminal leader won. Furthermore we have to rewrite the whole culture like New Testament of Bible. When Gririja observed the Bhote Jatra many people were not happy. The only thing left for maoist is to insert its forces in the military which is most possible thru presidency because he/she would be the commander-in-chief.After that say bye bye to democracy. It took only 19 lives to bring democracy, in maoist rule consider that atleast 2,3 lakh.Forget about Gyane, it's the Paras that most people's have in mind so rajtantra is doomed in nepal case. The only way seems military rule that is responsible to the parliament, for a while, as one german professor suggested. Looking at what Singapore has become, it's not that bad idea. No president or narayanhiti for anybody Those who disagree with me, I wanna dedicate this song .

यी सबै नाटक हुन!! सभा सम्मेलन अधिबेशन सब नाटक हुन! नेपाली जनता लाई टुक्र्याउने नाटक हो नाटक ! शायद सचेत जनता हरु ले पनि यी कुर हरु बुझिसकेक छन होला!! भोगिसकेका छन!! प्रजान्त्रतिक नेता भनौदा हरुले जनता को खुशी को नाममा सम्ब्रिदी को नाममा प्रजातन्त्र को आड लिएर जनता को भावना सँग धेरै खेल्बाड गरिसके र गरिरहेका छन र गरिरहने छन! जुन सचा प्रजातन्त्र मा विश्वाश आस्था राख्न्ने हरुलाई ठेस लागेको पनि छ। जती दु:ख परे पनि
सधैं खुशी रहने हसिलो रहने हामी नेपाली लाई यिनिहरु ले दु:ख रोदन पिडा बाहेक केही पनि दिएका छैनन। स्वर्ग झैं नेपाल लाई यिनिहरु को ब्यक्तिगत स्वार्थपुर्ती को लागि घिन्लाग्दो र शर्मानाक खेल खेलेर नर्क तुल्य बनाएका छन!जुन कुरा म जस्तो सरल र सुखी जिबन बिताउन चाहना राख्ने जनता ले राम्ररी
बुझेका छन!

मलाई लाग्छ यी फटाहा लुटेरा नेताहरु नेपाली नै होइनन! सोझो साझो जनता को brain wash गराएर आफ्नो कथित राजतिनिक स्वार्थ पुरा गर्न को लागि नेपाली नेपाली दाजु भाई दिदी बहिनी को हत्या गर्न लगाएक छन्!! हामी नेपाली शाहसी र वीर जरुर छम्। तर यसरी नेपाली ले नेपाली लाई नै हत्या गर्ने आदी यीत्याद्दी घ्रिनित काम गर्ने हामी नेपाली को रगत मा छैन!!

म प्रजातन्त्र बिरोधि होइन! कुनै पनि राजातिनिक पार्टी सँग मैले पूर्वग्रह लिएको छैन! न म कुनै पार्टी सँग सम्बध छु न कुनै पार्टी प्रती आस्था रख्द छु। म एुटा साधारण नेपाली नागरिक हुं। प्रजान्तन्त्र आँफै मा एुटा गहन र सम्बेदनशील बिषय हो। जस्लाई पूर्ण उत्तरदायी पूर्वक राम्ररी सम्भाल्न सक्नु पर्दछ। जस्लाइ सम्हाल्न हाम्रा असछ्यम नेताहरु को हैसियत् छैन र स्वत प्रमाणित पनि भैसकेको छ। जनता को नाममा जनताको आड लिएर जुन् फोहोरी खेल खेलेका छन तेस्ले स्वयमं प्रजातन्त्र को उपहास गरेको छ मजाक उडाएका छन।स्वयमं प्रजातन्त्र को बेइज्जत गरेको छ।

बसुदैब कुटुम्ब्कम् को भावना आत्मसात गरी धार्मिक तथा सामाजिक आपसी मेलमिलाप मा लिप्त रही एकिक्रित रहेको हामी नेपाली माथि आफ्नो नाजायज पार्टीगत सिद्धान्त लादेर टुक्रयेका छन् हामीहरु लाई एक आपस मा फुटाएका छन।लडाएका छन।
यसरी नौलो परिबर्तन् चाहने जनताको शान्ती पूर्वक सुखी र सम्ब्रिध जिबन बिताउने रहर माथि खेल्बाडगर्ने र नेपाल जस्तो आँफै मा उत्कृष्ट रहेको परम्परागत एेतिहास बोकेको धार्मिक सान्स्कृतिक सामाजिक र जनजातिक एकता मा अडिएको हाम्रो नेपाल को अश्मिता माथि खेल्बाड गर्ने अधिकार यिनिहरुलाई छैन।
आफ्नो देश छोडि धेरै युवाहरु बिदेसिन वाध्य छन्। मेरो बिचार मा शायद नेपाल् को हरेक घर बाट एक न एक जना आफ्नो परिवार को सुख सम्ब्रिद्धी को लागि बिदेसिएका छन्
अहिले को परिस्थिती मा नेपाल को अर्थतन्त्र यसरी बिदेशिएका नेपालीहरुले आफ्नो रगत पसिन बगाएर कमएको धन remittance ले थेगेको छ।
यी नलायक नेताहरु लाई हामी नेपाली को रगत पसिना बगायेर कमएको धनमा फोहोरी खेल खेल्न जनताले यिनिहरुलाई चुनेका हैनन् र यिनिहरु लाई कुनै अधिकार छैन।
शायद म अहिले अलिक भावना मा बहेंके होला तर यी कुराहरु सत्य तथ्य हुन्।समाज का बोउद्धिक तर अचेत समुह साथै संचार माध्यम हरु समेत् यिनिहरु को पछी लगेको देखेर म छक्क परेको छु।
यिनिहरु को मन्परी तन्त्र अब अत्ती भयो अब यिनिहरु लाई देश बाट बहिर निकल्ने बेला अैइसकेको छ।
whatever you people think about me i don't care. I consider myself as a commoner a concerned true nepali citizen.{I love my Country my soil. i hate to see it being ruined by these bunch of nonsense craps.
मलाई यी फटाहा लुटेरा बाहुन नेताहरुले दान म दिएको प्रजातन्र र कथित नयाँ नेपाल चाहिएको छैन। मलाई मेरै पुरनो नेपाल चहिएको छ!! जस्ले ज् सुकै भनुन ज् सुकै गरुन। मलाई मतलब छैन।
Guys I'm into it now!!
जय नेपाल!!

what else did u expect ?

."समाज का बोउद्धिक तर अचेत समुह साथै संचार माध्यम हरु समेत् यिनिहरु को पछी लगेको देखेर म छक्क परेको छु।"

rare sight...well thought ..a remarkable observation...far better than those BOUDDIKs who dont know shit from shinola.....

but it does not mean that democracy is bad.....

Keep on writing but plz do avoid targeting a particular group...

sometimes it's quite overwhelming to see the amount of frustration that has built up in our (nepalese) parts. at times, i personally feel incapacitated to see our state of utter denial and discomposure about the ongoing political development of the country.

i have always believed that we, the people, are the primary assets of democracy. the lincoln's quote: 'to the people, by the people, for the people' addresses this very aspect of people's responsibility and its cause and effect within democracy. i am sorry to say but we, nepalese, have never understood the 'by the people' part very clearly. Lincoln warned the south america in his inaugural address by saying: "in your hands, my 'dissatisfied' fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war."

we loveeee to complain, love to play the blame game, don't we? we never introspect. why do we always blame the leaders? who are they after all? ONE among US. the power of building a good, efficient and self-reliant government is in our hands --the people's hands. democracy takes time to flourish, it takes decades. unfortunately in our case, we never had a firm platform from where we could build on. but as much as the leaders (corrupt or otherwise) are responsible for this tumult, the general people (we) are also liable because we are the biggest part of that system.

how many of us have bribed the leaders/bureaucrats to get our work done? how many of us revolted? corruption is not possible one way. both the parties (senders and receivers) are equal parts of the game.

the point i am trying to emphasize here is: let's not shy away from our responsibilities. if the country is burning, we are adding more fuel into it by blaming each other. let's try to solve ...not run away. at least think positively. we may not be there physically or may not participate actively in the political front, but at least we can create a conducive environment by supporting a good cause. can't we?

as i already mentioned, i don't see anything wrong in making narayanhity --the presidential house. let's make sure, we elect the right person who deserves to be in there. it's we who have to make sure we don't create another girija or madhav or khum bdr or govinda raj or prachanda or gyanendra for that matter.

no offense or malice intended to anyone. i had sworn not to speak on politics in sajha anymore, but some of the responses in this thread alone unrested my cause. sorry about that.
