Dear Deepak jee:

 

While appreciating your impeccable logic and water tight writings almost all

the time, I think on this occasion your challenge asking for the PM's

resignation is misplaced.

 

I am among the people you have indicated who support GPK.  Support for any

living politician comes with many qualifications, and can be costly for most

individuals; and particularly for us here who have no personal or

tangible gain from it, but only exposes us to criticisms.

 

As I have said many times before, there is no end to a debate on our

personal preferences, suppoort, and opposition to individual politicians in

Nepal.  It may not even have any meaning, and perhaps, a worthless debate.

 

However, In GPK's case, I think he is the only political figure who was able

to bring the fragile, unstable, but critical coherence in the Nepali

politics after the fall of KG, and possibly that of monarchy.  For all his

shortcomings, and lack of intellectual credentials (which he has never

claimed) his consistency, dedication, and intuition have proved valuable in

bringing Nepal to this largely positive transformation.  He has the stature,

statesmanship and courage to unite the country in this most difficult period

of transition.

 

Personally, I think his vision of the nation has prevailed over many other

competing visions.

 

I know I am opening  up myself for bullets, but I am fine writing this.  I

also think there is not much point criticising GPK and asking for his

resignation at this point, which I believe will be extremely

counter-productive.

 

With regards.

AA-jee,

 

Thank you for you kind words and views.

 

It's not that I do not have a thing or two to appreciate about Koirala. However, looking at where we stand now and thinking where we could have been, had we have a slightestly progressive person in place of Koirala, I can not help giving him a negative grade.

 

However, since Koirala is the only contestant in the class, even his poor grade is the best grade !

 

I think, basically this is what you and I are looking at differently.

 

That said, I am glad you talked about Koirala and the dharma-sankat they bring to one pointing finger at Koirala.

 

Because that's exactly my point.

 

Now I can rest my case.

 

Best regards,

 

Deepak
