Kathmandu: A non-political entity in all honesty too has come heavily down against President Girija Prasad Koirala.

The non-political body is nonelessthan Manisha Koirala, the grand-daughter of President Koirala.

Manisha, the daughter of congress stalwart, Prakash Koirala-the son of late B.P.Koirala, the other day bluntly told a gathering of the Rotarians that she was against what the five political parties were fighting against regression.

The Bollywood actress tried to defend the King and the government by deriding the agitation sponsored by the five parties. She also opined that for a person of Girija’s political stature, to head such a meaningless agitation only devalued Koirala’s long political career.

Manisha who only recently took part in a political rally that supported Bihar’s Laloo Prasad’s electioneering, however, preferred to keep aloof from Nepal’s politics.

It was only logical on her part to subscribe to the views of her father, junior Koirala, who has preferred this time not to support the agitation headed by his own uncle-Girija.
