Nepal’s parliament witnessed a heated clash between ruling and opposition lawmakers over monarchy restoration. CPN-UML’s Raghuji Panta defended the federal system, claiming citizens' income tripled since 2008, and dismissed monarchy restoration. RPP’s Gyan Bahadur Shahi opposed him, stressing careful parliamentary discourse. The debate reflects Nepal’s deep political divide between republicans and pro-monarchists. Meanwhile, thousands rallied in Kathmandu on March 9 to welcome ex-King Gyanendra Shah. Nepal abolished its monarchy in 2006 after Gyanendra’s controversial rule led to mass protests, restoring democracy.
