Kathmandu: Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala remains undeterred. So were his detractors from within and without.

In the process the nation is being jointly pushed to the brink.

The crusade initiated some three months back by the UML and its allies for the forced ouster of Prime Minister Koirala continues. The Prime Minister is adamant and will perhaps not yield to the dictates of his opposition within his own party and without come what may.

Though the Prime Minister got a mild jolt and felt a tremor in and around his chair when the Lauda investigating authority sent a letter demanding some clarifications from him.

A nervous Koirala would have resigned. However, thanks the coterie around him that brushed aside the letter of the CIAA dubbing the whole affair as to have been “designed” by some “reactionaries” to “destabilize” his regime and the “system” as well.

An emboldened Koirala not only rejected the idea of resignation, rather has now been sounding his detractors that he would “see” to their future program of actions aimed at against him in a more bold manner.

While, on the one hand, this explains the mood of the Prime Minister regarding resignation as demanded by his near and distant rivals, the opposition led by the UML, on the other, still appears to be full of energy and vigor.

An indication to this effect gets reflected from the almost dangerous program ever charted by the opposition that now waits to plague the nation for three days in series.

As per the declared schedule of the entire-rock-solid opposition led by the UML, the nation will be forced to observe a three days complete BUNDH beginning May 27 till the 29 th, this month.

Add to this the already declared Nepal Bundh on May 31 st by the conglomerate of various ethnic groupings who wish to call this day as a “black day” in the history for it was this day some three years back that the Supreme Court ruled that Nepali language could only be the official language in the nation. All put together, the fag end of May, 2000 will write its own history for having such chaotic and dangerous four days Bundh in this already tormented country.

Apparently, the 30 th May has been left without any program, thanks the Almighty.

What colossal impact it would have on a declared poor, donor driven-beggar and corrupt and less developed country like Nepal is every body’s guess.

The whole nation will understandably be paralyzed indeed. Rumors have it that the organizers will approach government officials even seeking their tacit support in not attending their offices on those “ill-fated” days.

The UML and its allies hope that this deadliest of all protest programs observed so far will definitely bow Koirala and the latter would resign.

However, the opposition must understand that Koirala is made up of steel. He is a different stuff.

If pressed hard, he might opt to go in for yet another mid term polls which is a tactic that still remains under his sleeve rather than yielding to opposition’s demands.

Whether Koirala resigns or not is now immaterial. Whether the UML and its allies succeed in their mission or not is also immaterial. However, what is for sure is that a Nepal freshly emerged after four days consecutive Bundhs will have to submit herself for a grand “privatization”. Understandably the already crumbling economy and the dwindling industries here with this impending Bundh will further go down to an unimaginable level the recovery of which perhaps will take years and years.

This perhaps explains the rest.
