Kathmandu, Mar. 17: Nepali Congress central member and ex-minister Khum Bahadur Khadka says a general feeling in the country today is that Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala himself should now take the charge of the primeirship to control Maoist terrorism, maintain peace and security and law and order, ensure social justice and national development work in the country.

During a brief meeting with rss today, Mr Khadka said, “Mr Koirala   alone can provide the kind of able, competent and dynamic leadership expected by the country.”

The sacrifice and dedication of Prime Minister Krishna Prasad Bhattarai and his ideals of liberalism would be necessary for the new generation of the Congress leadership, he observed.

Likewise, another central member of Nepali Congress and ex-minister Mahesh Acharya also expressed the view that the country expected Mr Girija Prasad Koirala’s leadership in order to create a society free from fear, establish good governance and pave the way for the development of the country as a whole.

As competition is the very ideal of multi-party system Mr Koirala has no reason to back off from parliamentary party leadership just because some one else stands for that leadership against Mr Koirala’ candidature, he argued.

Leader Krishna Prasad Bhattarai’s sacrifice, liberalism and sense of dedication had inspired the new generation, he said, noting that the unity among the founder leaders who steadfastly spearheaded the long struggle for democracy brought jubilation among the  party leaders and workers at all levels.

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Chitralekha Yadav said the new generation of Congress leaders should emulate the sacrifice, patience and liberalism of leader Krishna Prasad Bhattarai and help strengthen the party organisation, maintain law and order, good governance and ensure social justice and development work and create congenial atmosphere under which Girija Prasad Koirala could steer the nation.

The people’s despondence would turn into hope under the leadership of Girija Prasad Koirala and he would win the people’s confidence for the sake of democracy, the nation and national development, said Deputy Speaker Yadav.

MP Prakash Koirala of Nepali Congress stressed that Girija Prasad Koirala should provide leadership to the nation in steering the country towards progress, in raising the people’s living standard and in strengthening democracy.
