KATHMANDU: Former Crown Prince Paras Shah called on former Prime Minister Krishna Prasad Bhattarai at the Norvic International Hospital in Thapathali, where the latter is hospitalised since Thursday, on Sunday afternoon.
Talking to the media briefly at the hospital premises after acquiring information about the ailing leader's health condition, expressed dissastisfaction over the prevention of his father and former King Gyanendra's participation in the religious and cultural activities by the administration.
"Being good citizen we had to follow (administration directives)," he said, when the media asked him to comment on the barring of the former monarch from taking part in the Indrajatra festival in Kathmandu last week.
"I think common citizens should be allowed to practice religion as per their wish," he said.
Bhattarai, 87, was rushed to the hospital on Thursday evening after he complained of loss of appetite and weakness.
Bhattarai has been advocating for the essence of constitutional monarchy in the country even after the abolition of age-old institution in 2008.
A founding leader of the Nepali Congress, Bhattarai has detached himself from the party after it embraced repulicanism.
