Nepal: Keep communists at a distance, NC leader Joshi
TGW
Known for frequently expressing vitriolic remarks against the Communists in Nepal and of late advocating the cause of the constitutional monarchy in the Country, the Nepali Congress Leader Govinda Raj Joshi has said that the Nepali Congress leadership is unnecessarily toeing the political line of the Maoists.
Mr. Govinda Raj Joshi, a leader among the most (in) famous among the conglomerate of the KGB order in the Nepali Congress camp added that the government is involved in discriminatory practices.
“When a layman gets killed in the country the government donates their family with just a Lakh, however, when the Maoists’ are killed, they receive 10 Lakh eachâ€, Joshi said.
“Look our agony…when we talk of giving continuity to the idea of National Unity and Reconciliation, we are branded as royalists…Prachanda publicly declares meeting Ramesh Nath Pandey and Niranjan Thapa, yet he is surprisingly declared a Nationalist…isn’t it unfairâ€, questioned Joshi.
“Unnecessarily our party is tangled with the Maoists...one needs to clearly keep a comfortable distance with the communistsâ€, Joshi advising the NC leadership said.
Mr. Joshi made these remarks at a program organized by a NC party affiliate in Sundarijal, Kathmandu and January 19, 2008.
The KGB stands for Khum Bahadur Khadka, Govinda Raj Joshi and Bijaya Kumar Gacheedar. These NC leaders were coined as KGB as this set used to be very powerful in the mid-nineties. The irony has been that it was the NC affiliated media men who garlanded this abbreviation to their own party leaders.
