KATHMANDU, JUL 09 - Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai has warned to scrap all the facilities being provided to ex-king Gyanendra Shah. The prime minister said so at the time when Shah has been saying that there would be a comeback of monarchy in the country. "The ex-king has not still learnt lesson, the state shall deprive him of all the facilities," Bhattarai said. Ruling out the possibility of revival of monarchy, Bhattarai warned not to get benefit from the disputes seen among the political parties. Speaking at a programme organised on the occasion of Global Bank’s merger with IME Financial Institution and Lord Buddha Finance, Bhattarai said the political parties have been moving ahead despite differences. Saying that budget will be announced forging consensus with all the political parties, PM Bhattarai said positive news will come within few days. Posted on:  2012-07-09 12:26
