Biratnagar: The opposition remains undeterred. Prime Minister Koirala as per his unbending character too remains adamant. In the process, the ongoing 19th session of the parliament remains totally paralyzed with no signs of taking up business. The stubbornness exhibited by both the ruling Koirala faction of the congress and the entire opposition over the most unfortunate and infamous Lauda air deal has not been only entertaining the national population but has also become global.

The Cambodian Speaker summarily rejected his trip to Kathmandu and this he did on grounds of health. United Nation’s Secretary General too politely decided not to address the Nepali parliament for obvious reasons. Both the world dignitaries got the point and left the Nepali stalemate to the mercy of the 205 men who have taken up the responsibility to decide the fate of the Nepali population.

Cambodian Speaker could cancel his Nepal trip. Prime Minister Koirala could not resist his temptation for a visit to France. How the seasoned French leaders could have taken the utterances of Nepal’s shaky and accused Prime Minister during the bilateral talks in Paris is any body’s guess.

The question is not that which of the warring rivals, the opposition or for that matter the ruling clique, were correct in their adamancy and for the present mess in the parliament, rather the question is that why should the lay men or say the majority of the population honor such lawmakers who have through their naughty behaviours given a very bad name to a system that is considered to be one of the best systems prevailing in the world.

The non-partisan population which albeit is in a sizeable chunk possess every right to ask their fate-makers as to what they wish to exhibit to the nation and the international community through their most hated and ugly manners that has already corroded the beauty of the system now in place.

Fresh reports made available in Biratnagar reveal that Koirala will rather prefer to “handover” the system back to the place from where it was released some twelve years back. This means that Koirala will defend his case till the doomsday.

Implied is the fact that opposition-the rock-solid opposition-will push Koirala to the wall to the extent that they will even witness the “handing over” ceremony but will not settle for less than the resignation of the Prime Minister.

The fact is that Koirala is supposed to have told his “internal” desire to act that way should the opposition push him to that extent at a congress party meeting only the other day. Thanks that some of his rivals retorted to Koirala’s “undemocratic” utterances and politely hinted that the latter should resign.

Most importantly, the two close aides of Koirala in the current scheme of things, Narhari Acharya and minister J.P.Gupta, at the meeting too hinted their boss to act the opposition way and help save the country from going to the collapse. A grand departure indeed. This also means that slowly but very steadily Koirala is losing his internal base.

However, the two close aides had a brilliant face saving formula for Koirala. The scheme: resign from the parliamentary party leadership. This meant that Koirala after resignation will not be the Prime Minister and the party will select its leader from among the congress conglomerate.

This notwithstanding, those who know Koirala better in his hometown opine that the latter will not prefer a “most humiliating ouster” of the sort suggested by his close chums.

The ugly drama will continue till perhaps a disaster grips the nation.

Telegraph adds: Minister J.P.Gupta , according to a congress source, has resigned. His resignation has come after the new communication minister allowed the Space Time Network to resume its programs which Gupta had cancelled.
