New Delhi: Nepal's Prime Minister G P Koirala has come up with some startling confessions.

In an interview to Kantipur TV recently, Koirala revealed he was involved in manufacturing fake Indian currency.

Koirala confessed he made fake currency notes during political exile in India in the early 1970s.

The 82-year-old, who's been Nepal PM four times, was talking about his past political life. He said he had hired experts to produce the notes, and even deposited them in a bank.

Koirala also claimed that along with a team of Nepali Congress leaders, he hijacked a Nepal Airlines flight from Biratnagar to Kathmandu in 1973. He said that all this happened with the knowledge and consent of B P Koirala, Nepal's legendary socialist leader and the country's first elected prime minister.

Allegedly, R N Rao, the then chief of India's external intelligence agency RAW, helped him in the hijacking.

Koirala had the fake currency produced at the residence of former Rajya Sabha member Dr Devendra Prasad Singh in Patna. Singh, a leader of the Praja Socialist Party, died in 2002

Koirala’s nephew and fellow MP with the Nepal Congress defended his uncle and said that these confessions must be seen in the context of the revolution of 1970 when the Nepal Congress was in exile.

“The story happened in 1970 when we were fighting against autocratic rule. Whatever the Prime Minister has said in the interview is right,” Shekhar Koirala confirmed.

“There hasn't been much criticism from political parties but there is some criticism, as he is PM,” he said, exhorting, “You must ask why he did it, in what circumstances he did it. It was the time of revolution and the Nepal Congress was in exile.”
