Last year there were many who welcomed the king's move. But now the same people are opposing the king's government. It's a complete turnaround.
This sort of crackdown was only to be expected under the king's autocratic regime. It is all heading for a confrontation.
They probably wanted to free some of their hardcore Maoists who were jailed there.
The king is trying to fool the international community through meaningless elections. This will not solve any national problem. It will only deepen them.
