Itahari, Sept. 10: Nepali Congress ( NC) President Sushil Koirala has said that his party would cease to exist if it abandons democracy, socialism and national reconciliation policy propounded by the party’s founding president, the late Bishweshwor Prasad Koirala. Addressing a talk show organized by the Foundation for BP's Thought, marking the 98th birth anniversary of BP Koirala here on Friday, the NC President said that national reconciliation policy and policy of peace adopted by the late leader BP was still relevant in the Nepali politics. He added that the nation would plunge into a grave crisis if parties failed to conclude the peace process and constitution drafting process with the institutionalization of democracy. The NC president further urged the UCPN (Maoist) to be serious towards protecting the achievement of past movements launched for democracy. Party central member Sujata Koirala stressed that no one should forget BP's national reconciliation policy and the path of peace, consensus and collaboration followed by the late Girija Prasad Koirala. On the occasion, democratic fighter Bishwanath Chaudhary, Hari Narayan Pokharel, senior social worker Mrs. Bishnu Devi Shrestha, educationalist Kamal Pokharel and litterateur Badri Palikhe were honoured. BP who was born on September 8, 1914 and passed away on July 21, 1982 contributed to taking the Nepali Congress to greater height. RSS

Popular leader BP Koirala's policy of national reconciliation is still equally relevant at the moment, claimed Nepali Congress (NC) central member Bhim Bahadur Tamang, a politician having the most clean image in the country.

Leader Tamang made this remark at a programme organised by the NC Dhading and Nepal Press Union Dhading Chapter in Dhadingbesi to mark the 98th birth anniversary of veteran democratic leader BP Koirala, according to RSS.

Recalling BP Koirala's saying 'Be a good man rather than big', Tamang also urged the NC cadres to translate the ideals into practice.

Maoists have still the greed for weapon as they handed over the keys of the containers and came up with protesting voices on the other, he asserted, adding that all democratic allies should be cautious on their words and actions. nepalnews.com
