Under mysterious circumstances the entire family members of the then King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah were killed in a shootout that took place inside the Narayanhiti Royal Palace, June 1, 2001. “Our leaders were terrified after the incident thus they began surrendering to the foreign diktats,” so observed Secretary Dev Grunng talking to a Kantipur representative ( online portal Kantipur, January 20, 2014). Mainly, the NCP-Maoist claims that Chairman Pushpa Kamal and his deputy Baburam of Unified Maoists immediately after the palace massacre changed the party line. The NCP-Maoist also concludes that the same line adopted by the party (led by Pushpa Kamal) at that time continues as yet. “It was since then they took the Republican line whereas the nationalist line was sidelined deliberately by Prachanda and Baburam. The psychology behind the Palace Massacre continues to grip the party leaders.” Delayed realization. - See more at: http://www.lightnepalvideo.com/videos/mystery-of-king-prithivi-narayan-shah-death/#sthash.HM72igjE.dpuf
