NEPAL: KOIRALA CRITICIZED BY COMMUNISTS
The UML (United Marxist Leninist) parliamentarians in a bid to protest Prime Minister Koirala’s role in functioning of the government, abandoned the parliamentary proceedings, Monday.
However, analysts claim that the need for fleeing from the parliamentary proceedings came as the UML parliamentary party had recently issued a whip order not to disrupt the proceedings any more. Analysts say it was more of an intra-party feud than anything else. Madhav Nepal must have felt the heat.
The UML parliamentary party nevertheless viewed the need for the rejection of the proceedings to protest against Koirala instead by claiming that he was not very serious in finding a solution to the current parliamentary deadlock.
Now Koirala should feel the heat.
The UML leader Bharat Mohan Adhikari criticizing the PM for his trip to his home town said that Koirala headed for Biratnagar without any agenda. Such irresponsible acts were tarnishing Nepal’s image in the world, Mr. Adhikari fumed.
Currently the Madhesi parliamentarians from the NC-D, the Sadvawana Party and the RPP (Rastriya Prajatantra Party) plus the Maoists forwarding various demands are halting the parliamentary proceedings.
Interestingly, the Madhesi Parliamentarians from the NC-Girija and the Maoists did not take part in halting the parliamentary proceedings on Monday.
The Maoist chief-whip Dina Nath Sharma maintained that his party did not felt the need to gherao the rostrum as it was already occupied by parliamentarians belonging to other parties. May 15, 2007
