“I was
sacked by King Gyanendra and now I have been re-appointed. So, it is nothing but the
reinstatement of my government.” Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, replying to queries from
the reporters. *
* * “Since
the King was compelled to appoint the same person who he had fired, we consider
Deuba’s appointment as Prime Minister, politically, a correction of regression. Deuba
got the job because the five parties could not give decision about their common
candidate.” Madhav Kumar Nepal, general secretary of the Unified Marxist
Leninist (UML), in Kantipur. *
* * “The
appointment of Deuba as prime minister is no different from that of Thapa and Chand.” Bishwo Nath Upadhyaya, former chief justice, and one of the
drafters of the constitution of Nepal 1990, reacting to the appointment of Sher Bahadur
Deuba as the prime minister, in The Kathmandu Post. *
* * “Nepali
Congress must not go for constituent assembly. That will be against its survival.” Shailaja Acharya, former deputy prime minister and senior
leader of Nepali Congress, responding to remarks for constituent assembly made by some
Congress leaders, in Bimarsha. *
* * “This
is not the re-instatement of Deuba government at all. Had it been, the council of
ministers would have been the same as that of before October 4 (2002).” Roshan Karki, spokesperson of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party
(RPP), after the appointment of Sher Bahadur Deuba as prime minister, in Drishti. *
* * “We
had been saying it for a long time that reinstating Deuba government will be an acceptable
move.” K.P. Sharma Oli, former minister and a standing committee
member of the UML, at a talk program in Nepal Television. *
* * “There
is an invisible [human] barrier between the King and the Maoists which is more
active towards making the problem worse than solving it. The talks [second one] would have
been a success had there been a face to face meeting between the King and the Maoists even
for half an hour.” Birendra Jhapali, one of the facilitators of the second
peace talks between the government and the Maoists, which was held last year, in Drishti. *
