Is the CIAA listening?

The Oxford advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English defines the word "parasite" as 'living on or in another and getting its food from it' and the second definition goes like this: " person supported by another and giving him nothing in return".

The fact is that the ruling Nepali congress party as such, bluntly speaking, possesses more spongers than political heads. These parasites could be seen loitering in and around powerful leaders of this ever conflict plagued party from the very time of its inception some five decades ago. These parasites could take any form like the poor creature amoeba. This inferior creature possesses no specific culture as such and depends on the mercy and kind-heartedness of the person who offers shelter to it. Finally these squalid parasites suck the blood and cause untimely demise of their own shelter-giver and the former now prefers to have yet another kind soul and the process of sucking of the blood continues. These bloodsuckers, better say the parasites, flourish on other's blood and cash in on another's prestige and popularity if any. This inferior insect on earth praises the soul on whom they depend wholly to the extent that the person on whom they dependent becomes pale and thin. The bloodsuckers desert the soul the moment blood ceases to run in his or her arteries or even the capillaries. This means that the soul is of no use for these silent killers.

In essence, we wish to take those in the congress who have of late been advising their own Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala not to resign as "dangerous parasites" who definitely wish to prolong their "omnipotence" in the ruling party and the government clique by seducing Prime Minister Koirala to continue in the post till ad infinitum. In essence, it is these parasites that benefit immensely, not the Prime Minister, if the latter continues for long caring little of the popular demand backed by the entire opposition as well. For it is the Prime Minister who is being given a very bad name by the entire society due to the faults perhaps which were the creation of the parasites to a greater extent. It is the Prime Minister whose hard-earned prestige and the clout in the party which he heads at the moment will finally go to the dogs but not instead of those who have been suggesting him not to act in a manner demanded by the opposition. The parasites will not have to face any serious consequences, as it would be these dirty insects which will find yet another suitable "soul" should Koirala resign under pressure. Poor innocent Prime Minister.

In essence the parasites must be brought under trial by the authority investigating the most hatred and most infamous Lauda air deal. In effect, some parasites in the Koirala camp even saw "grand-design" of some quarters aimed at destabilising the democratic system for good in the "sealed questions" that were sent to the Prime Minister by the competent and constitutional organ of the nation that is the CIAA.

It is high time that the Commission investigating the Lauda affair brings to book these parasites and demand necessary explanations over their totally unconstitutional, unacceptable and provoking comments made against the commission. If necessary the commission could arrest these parasites much the same way as it did for the two poor Shrestha brothers-Hari Bhakta Shrestha and Tirtha Lal Shrestha. Failing to do so will ultimately invite such more objectionable and most erratic comments from the quarters that were currently inimical to the authority for obvious reasons. Is the CIAA listening to these wandering remarks from supposedly a very responsible quarter from the Nepali congress! We hope the CIAA takes stringent actions against the persons who have tried to point fingers at the very pious intent of the authority investigating the Lauda air deal.

The irony is that as and when the Koiralas' or for that matter the faction led by the Koiralas' in the congress is attacked for sound reasons, they see "threat to democracy" and a "grand design" to subvert the system. However, they fail to understand that it is they who have become an "unbearable burden" for the system and the nation as well. In no way the Koiralas' denote democracy but rather, sorry to say, just the opposite. This should apply to the entire congress as well which untiringly claims that they were the synonymous to democracy. In fact to what they were the synonymous has become pretty clear at least observing the past ten years of the Koirala and the congress rule. The illusion that was in the minds of the lay men has become amply clear. It is not for nothing that Koirala's rival, Sher Bahadur Deuba, once said in no uncertain terms that " NC coming to power bodes ill for the party"'. An in-depth analysis of Deuba's statements is loaded with meaning and hence is significant to ponder over. However, this does not apply to the late Congress leader B.P.Koirala who was not only a visionary but a competent authority in his own right.

Arrogant but yet innocent Prime Minister Koirala time and again reiterated that the moment he is questioned by the CIAA or for that matter the apex court regarding the Lauda air deal, he would waste not even a single second but would tender his resignation and that too unconditionally. However, it is this set of parasites, which turned the wheel and forced Koirala to change his former declared stance.

Finally, a word to the Prime Minister. If he wishes to be remembered by the entire population for ever and if he wishes to enjoy immense popularity and prestige in the nation even after retirement from Nepali politics, he is thus modestly advised to resign and attend to a doctor so that he could get rid of these deadly blood-suckers. The options are with him. Which way he decides should be his internal problem. But can he decide on his own as is his number one weakness. That's all.
