	Gyanendra of Nepal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the second son of King Mahendra, the young Gyanendra was declared king for two months (1950–1951) when the rest of his family was in exile in India, but was not internationally recognized.
		When Gyanendra took complete control for the second time on February 1, 2005, he accused prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba's government of failing to make arrangements for parliamentary elections and of being unable to restore peace in the country, then in the midst of a civil war led by Maoist insurgents.
		On April 24 Gyanendra reinstated the previous parliament in a televised address to the nation.

	Nepal: King Gyanendra’s coup

	[No title]
		King Gyanendra of Nepal in his address to the nation today refused to give up the absolute power he usurped on 1st February 2005 and urged the political parties to participate in the proposed sham elections.
		But, it is clear that King Gyanendra has put all his eggs on China basket just the way key actors in the international community have put their eggs on India basket because of the leverage the latter enjoys on the landlocked country.
		Unless King Gyanendra hands over power to the democratic forces, which will take necessary measures to ensure respect for democracy, human rights and fundamental freedoms, and initiate peace process with the Maoists, Nepal will soon be afflicted by a major humanitarian crisis, irrespective of whether it becomes a case for humanitarian intervention or not.

		By supporting our decision, the Nepalese people made amply clear their desire for peace and democracy and the civil servants demonstrated sincerity towards their duties.
		Similarly, a meaningful exercise in democracy must be ensured with the activation of representative bodies through elections as soon as possible.
		We, therefore, call upon the Seven Party Alliance to recommend a name, for the post of prime minister, at the earliest for the constitution of the council of ministers, which will bear the responsibility of governing the country in accordance with the Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal - 1990.
