The issue raised by GP about the Diaspora: First of all, the Diaspora's appeal was initiated by the ANA and NAC who represent many organizations and individuals. It was not an individual project. Mr. Gautam presented a paper in Kathmandu, and the Diaspora discussed the issue and they requested Dr. Bohara to draft the petition. They also had, I heard, a lot of discussion. The petition takes a neutral approach emphasizing on peace and development, and also a negotiated settlement. When the country is burning and people are getting killed, any effort from any quarter should be appreciated. Yes, the finality of the petition should be put forward, but such a personal attack is very unfortunate. It is also not very difficult to contact ANA/NAC or even Mr. Gautam and Dr. Bohara or a number of others who seem to have involved (Mr. Girijaa Gautam and President of ANA Mr. Niraula and the president of NAC Mr. Adhicari and so on.) and communicate with them to find out more about the status of the petition.
