The Brihat Nagarik Andolan, a loose coalition of Nepali civil society activists, on Thursday warned that attempts to revive the monarchy and roll back secularism with the backing of the army would be “unacceptable".

“The reality becoming clear now is that on the bodies of the martyrs of the Gen-Z movement, a conspiracy is being staged with the Army’s mediation and cooperation to restore monarchy and abolish secularism. This is completely unacceptable to us," the statement read.
