Koirala hints correction of Nepal President’s unconstitutional move

TGW

The Unified Maoists’ Party vice president Dr. Babu Ram Bhattarai held a meeting with the Nepali Congress President Mr. Girija Prasad Koirala at the latter’s residence in Maharajgunj, Kathmandu, November 6, 2009.

The Maoists’ Party mouthpiece, the Janadisha Daily, reveals that during the meeting the NC President had hinted that some steps could be made towards correcting the unconstitutional decision of President Dr. Ram Baran Yadav was concerned.

 Dr. Bhattarai talking to Janadisha, dated November 7, 2009, revealed that Mr. Koirala had assured him that he will advise the government to take measures to correct the unconstitutional decision of the President.

The majority of the Nepali Congress leaders have so far rejected the proposition for correcting the President’s move which he took while reinstating the Unified Maoists’ Party led government sacked Nepal Army Chief Rukmangad Katawal.

Dr. Bhattarai quoted Koirala as saying, “Let us forge consensus…find a middle path that is agreed upon by both the sides…tell me what steps should I take.”

“I offered him three options”, says Bhattarai adding, “Let us hold discussion in the parliament or pass the resolution proposal or the President can address the parliament accepting that he had made wrong move.”

“Koirala told me that he will convince the government and his party members to discuss our proposition”, said Bhattarai.

“Koirala was positive but we will not stop our protest program until we receive positive response from the government”, Bhattarai tells Janadisha.

A frustrated Koirala who has recently been cornered by his own party appears to make the Nepal President a sacrificial goat!

And what is wrong if Dr Bhattarai is maneuvering his way to become President? He's more capable to run the country then President Dr. Yadav. He's alright to make President Dr. Yadav a sacrificial goat or to put it politely - a sacrificial lamb!

He is still maneuvering his way to become President.
