BBC NEWS | South Asia | Opposition calls off Nepal strike:
"Nepal's seven-party opposition alliance says it is ending weeks of protests after King Gyanendra agreed to its demands to reinstate parliament.
The alliance has chosen former Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala to head a new government.
The king's announcement follows weeks of unrest by opponents to his absolute rule. At least 14 people have died.
However Maoist rebels, behind a 10-year insurgency, rejected the deal and vowed to continue blockading the capital.
KP Situala, a spokesman for the opposition alliance, said it had 'called off the general strike and protest', and that planned demonstrations would become a victory celebration instead."
