Ousted king rejects claims he was a mass murderer
In a downbeat and brief farewell broadcast live on national television, Nepal’s ousted ruler also hit back at allegations he was a mass murderer who had robbed the impoverished country.
“I have assisted in and respected the verdict of the people,” he said in his first comments since the declaration of a republic on May 28. He added that he “will not leave this country” and go into exile.
