Kathmandu: Girija Prasad Koirala’s anger against the King has suddenly taken a new height.

Koirala, as is usual, heightens his tirade against whom he considers to be his number one detractor, in this case the King clearly, while he is in his hometown.

No body knows what makes Koirala so comfortable to increase his pitch against the one whom or whose actions irritate him politically as and when he is in his hometown, Biratnagar.

This time as was expected, the president of the divided congress, Koirala made scathing croiticisms against the King and went to the extent of reminding the King that should he did not correct what he prefers to call his “constitutional misadeventures” at the earliest then the institution of monarchy would be limited to the books found in the libraries.

Not only this, Koirala reserved his special prerogatives to suspect the sudden announcement of ceasefire by the government and the rebels.

Koirala for one is the single personality who has become excessively vocal against the monarch’s actions that began since October 4 last year.

That was not all, it was precisely at Koirala’s initiation that the rest three discordant political parties of the “Group 4” met in Biratnagar last week and warned the King to correct the political aberrations that the latter brought in the constitution through his “unconstitutional” actions taken last October.

The four parties once again offered two options for the King to decide: either restore the parliament or form an all-party powerful government. Or else face the music. This was the message that the four parties signaled through their speeches.

The implied message from the Biratnagar congregation of the Big-4 is that the King’s can’t for long sideline their role in the body-politic of the country and that if the King continued to sideline their role for long would not be tolerated by them and that a sort of agitation would soon be waged against the monarch to press the latter to mend his political actions taken in the past.

What becomes also clear from the Biratnagar meet is that Koirala will not settle for less than either the restoration of the now dissolved parliament or with the formation of an all-party government as suggested by the clever UML leader, Madhav Nepal.

Political leaders other than Koirala too expressed their anger against the King but did not exhibit it for understandable reasons.

That Koirala continues to take the ceasefire announcement and the agreement on the code of conduct by what he calls “two guns” a mysterious affair becomes clear from an article penned by Koirala’s close aide, Mr. Gobind Raj Joshi, printed Tuesday, wherein he says that only recently when Koirala demanded the copy of the agreed upon “code of conduct” from the prime minister, the latter did not comply.

This clearly means that Koirala perhaps considers that there could a possibility of the existence of two separate copies of code of conduct: one for the public consumption and the other for the parties in question.

At yet another level, Koirala appears equally suspicious of the intents, writes Mr. Joshi in the same article, of the Maoists rebels. He suspects the announcement of the ceasefire. He suspects the agreement on the code of conduct. He, above all, suspects that the King and the Maoists have come closer in an apparent bid to threaten the gains of the 1990 popular movement. What surprises him more is the Maoists clarification that they would for the time being not raise the issue of republicanism in the country.

He then asks, if it were so then what tempts the Maoists to go in for a constituent assembly and have a new constitution? He questions what the Maoists have in their minds to incorporate in the new constitution they wish to rewrite if they don’t need the transformation of the monarchy in to republicanism?

Koirala questions again what the Maoists mean when they say that they wish the formation of an interim arrangement? According to him, the Maoists have yet to answer his questions.

Mr. Joshi writing on behalf of the NC under Girija too says that neither the government nor the Maoists have made it clear as to what sort of help they need from the major political parties. He also laments that both the parties have taken the disgruntled political parties in confidence.

All put together, what becomes clear is that the congress under Girija will take some more time to reconcile to the existing scheme of things. Equally true is that the government and the Maoists too have to clarify the questions raised by president Koirala before they embark for talks.

It is incumbent on the Maoists that they should provide answers to some of Koirala’s anger mixed questions.

Analysts say that to make the talks fruitful and positive, political parties must be taken in confidence.

Equally true is that the nation can’t wait for long if the big-4 continue to exhibit their political supremacy.
