Senseless alliance

I have been reading interesting news stories about how Nepali Congress President Girija Prasad Koirala is running from pillar to post to grab power. Even Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said so. But what he has proposed, according to Krishna Prasad Bhattarai, is Koirala alliance, an allainace that does not exist in a democratic country. He has been out of power for the last six months. Now he has realised his position and authority -- how strong or weak he is today. He wants to return to power so he has been rallying behind Madhav Kumar Nepal and Surya Bahadur Thapa for the national alliance.

But, again, I do not know what he means by "national alliance". Sometimes he rejects what he says and sometimes he repeats what he rejects. What has happened to him ? Does Girija Prasad Koirala suffer from mental disability or is he mentally sound ? I am not a doctor nor a psychiatrist who can read human minds. But I can understand and have seen how people speak senselessly when they are not mentally sound. This is a serious question the NC members must consider before Girija Prasad Koirala blows his whistle again to form a senseless national alliance.

Better join hands

I really wonder at the way India and Pakistan exchanged verbal war. Both countries are considered by the international community as siamese twins because both are born on the same day. Britain divided them after ruling them for almost a century. Yet they have not realised the ‘divide and rule policy’ of Great Britain. Until and unless these two countries come together, the US will continue to police Asia. It is high time they realised this fact and joined their hands to shape the destiny of Asia.
