First time after the historic parliamentary proclamation that massively clipped the King’s power, Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala met with King Gyanendra at the Nayanhiti Royal Palace Sunday evening and discussed the present political scenario of the country.

The King and the Prime Minister discussed the political scenario for nearly an hour, reports said. No details were immediately available.

The House of Representatives on Thursday stripped the King of most of his power, scrapping the post of Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the army hitherto held by the King, kept him away from parliamentary affairs and renamed His Majesty’s Government as ‘Nepal Government’ and the Royal Nepalese Army as ‘Nepali Army’, among others.
