Shivsena Nepal is a political party in Nepal. The party was founded in 1990 by Arun Subedi, in response to the demands for secularism in the backdrop of the Jana Andolan.[2]
In difference to the Nepal Shivsena, Shivsena Nepal has profiled itself mainly as a religious organisation. Whereas Nepal Shivsena has links to the Indian Shiv Sena, Shivsena Nepal denies such links.[3][4]
The party is registered with the Election Commission of Nepal ahead of the 2008 Constituent Assembly election.[5]
[edit] Organisation
The party claims to have organisation in 36 out of 75 districts of Nepal. Its main base, according to Subedi, is in the Terai areas.[2]
