Loktantrik Samajwadi Party Chairman Mahanta Thakur Hints at Possible Return of Monarchy, Wears Black Attire in Parliament

Kathmandu. Loktantrik Samajwadi Party (LSP) Chairman Mahanta Thakur has hinted at the possible return of monarchy in Nepal, protesting in Parliament by wearing black attire. In the National Assembly meeting on Tuesday, Chairman Thakur symbolically displayed black attire, signaling that the monarchy is about to return to the country.

Chairman Thakur revealed that former King Gyanendra Shah had tried to meet him several times, and commented humorously that he wore black attire for that purpose. Although black is generally used for protest, Chairman Thakur's comment about meeting the former king in a sarcastic style has given significant meaning to his expression and black attire in political circles.
