RAW and plane hijacking
Prime Minister GP Koirala has of late been revealing his years of political adventurism. He has admitted having been involved in counterfeiting Indian currency notes while in exile in India. He also recently admitted that he was lured towards gold smuggling to raise money for ‘struggle for democracy in Nepal’ but had to give it up on BP Koirala’s advice. Koirala however, has claimed that he got into the fake currency business with the consent and knowledge of the legendary BP Koirala.
GP Koirala has however, withdrawn the content of his version regarding his involvement in the hijacking of Royal Nepal Aircraft in 1975 and robbery of Rs. 40 lakhs. Koirala had stated that the hijacking of the aircraft that took off from Kathmandu was done after the then Chief of RAW cleared his move.
Although the interviewee has taken the blame for the content saying, “it was wrong translation of what GP Koirala had said in Hindi,” there are repeated references of the event in Nepali in which the PM quotes BP Koirala categorically asking what the government of India would do after the hijacking.
GP’s answer to BP, in his own words was that government of India would not do anything to the hijackers. There are reports that a senior official of the Indian embassy in Kathmandu approached the PM, about the damage that his confession could cause to the image of RAW as an outfit that encouraged terrorist activities like plane hijacking.
