The Event of 2017 (Satra Salko kanda) :

King Mahendra


After the general election of 2015, a popular government had formed on the premiership of B.P. Koirala. People cast their vote to choose their government bt themselves for the first time. But king mahendra did not like to popularity of B.P. Koirala. He was a very ambitious king and wanted to rule by himself. So, using articles 55 of the constitution of 2015, he dismissed the elected government, suspended parliament, and imprisoned the prime minister on 1st paush 2017 BS. He also arrested ministers, political activists, and leaders and took the sole power in his hand. He banned the political parties charging that government was unable to solve the problems of the people and failed to maintain law and order. National unity and the sovereignty of the country were in danger. This act of king mahendra is called the incident of 2017 BS. After 21 days of this incident, he started partyless automatic panchayat system in Nepal. Nepalese people had to struggle for 30 years to restore their fundamental rights and loktantra.
