Kathmandu: Better late than never, congress president Girija Prasad Koirala too has been able to see the King Tuesday morning.

A furious Koirala until yesterday, however, told the press men that his meeting with the King was a normal one and that he was not that excited as is being made by certain quarters.

If one were to believe Koirala then what comes to the fore is that he told the King in no uncertain terms that the King must not go in for a spree of experiments in the country and that the King must act in favor of the arrangement that activates the now de-activated constitutional process.

Koirala also told the King that unless there persisted a sort of crisis of confidence in between the monarch and the political parties and the constitutional processes derailed, the country will remain beset with problems as it is now.

In his fifty minutes tête-à-tête with the monarch, Koirala is supposed to have told the former that the monarch’s seven point agenda could be considered only when the King constitution in action by reviving the now dissolved parliament.

Koirala still believes that the revival of the parliament is the only panacea for the country’s present ailments.

He however, assured the King that there was no harm in giving due thoughts to the King’s seven point agenda.

Not surprising therefore Koirala hints that the movement and the process of meeting with the King will continue side by side.

By time this issue comes to the hands of our readers, the King will have completed the first cycle of his meetings with the nation’s prominent leaders now in agitation.

It still remains to be seen as to how Koirala and his men react to the substance of the meeting with the King. Much will depend on how the political parties conclude from their meetings in series with the monarch.

IT will have to be watched as to how Koirala reacts to Madhav Nepal’s freshly prepared concept of a road-map which talks of a round-table conference and later the formation of a sort of an interim government.

Clearly speaking, while Pashupati Rana of the RPP and Deuba of the congress-democratic have taken King’s assurances in full faith, Koirala and the rest of the leaders housed in the five party coalition against regression are expected to take King’s assurances with reservation. They would wish the King to act in their favor. The King, on the other, would prefer to get the committals from the leaders for his seven point agenda pushed to the political parties for an unconditional agreement.

Be that as it may, Koirala and his coterie will henceforth analyse to understand the King’s mind in its right perspective as, according to Koirala himself, he have had such several meetings and that he has felt that he has been deceived by the King time and again and hence he would move cautiously.

Nevertheless, the King has reasons to be happy simply because Deuba, Rana and Nepal appear to have already formed a positive view vis-à-vis the monarch’s fresh political overtures. If it is so then even if Koirala, Amik Sherchan and comrade Rohit come together, the other half will remain in favor of the monarch.

Should this mean that Madhav Nepal should begin stitching the national dress? Or will Deuba be blessed? What if a consensus is in favor of Rana if Thapa resigns?

But then what is the guarantee that Thapa will resign voluntarily? Is he that smooth as is being taken by the leaders in the agitation?

The fact is that if all the leaders don’t agree to King’s formulae, the agitation is a divided one.
