Dr. Koirala smells rat on term ‘public opinion’



KATHMANDU: Central member of the main opposition, Nepali Congress, Shekhar Koirala has taken exception to the agreement signed between the government and CK Raut-led Alliance for Independent Madhesh (AIM) saying that it is against the national sovereignty and independence.

Issuing a press statement on Monday, NC influential Koirala said, “Even though the move to bring the rebel group into the main steam politics is positive, the term ‘public opinion’ laid down in the second point of the agreement is against the integrity and the national independence of the country.

“Nepali people cannot accept it,” Koirala stated vehemently, adding, “The use of term  ‘public opinion’ in the second point of the agreement indicates ill intention of both the sides.”

Meanwhile, the turn of events in Janakpur after CK Raut’s arrival has also been objectionable and a matter of serious concern.
