KATHMANDU, FEBRUARY 26: In what appears to be an attempt at garnering support for his February 1 move, when he declared emergency in Nepal, King Gyanendra seems to be using his RSS and Hindutva connections in India.
VHP leader Ashok Singhal, in Kathmandu to attend a world peace oblation (mahayagya) being organised at Pashupatinath temple, was the first to support the royal coup. Addressing a press conference at the office of the Vishwa Hindu Mahasangh - for which the notice was relayed through His Majesty's Government's Information Department - Singhal said Maoists should be crushed militarily and the international community, including India, should support the King in his initiative.
''I welcome the Emergency imposed by Nepal King Gyanendra and all the Hindu community in India supports the move by the world's only Hindu king to save Hindus of Nepal from the Maoist terror,'' he said.
