BHAKTAPUR, MARCH 21
Central member of Nepali Congress and former Minister Mahesh Prasad Acharya has said that the country's political situation had reached an alarming stage and a leader like GP Koirala, who could give the country a way out of crises, was needed.
Speaking at the 11th memorial day of former prime minister Girija Prasad Koirala organised by the GP Koirala Foundation, Bhaktapur, on Saturday, he said, "Koirala had pulled the country out of an armed conflict by bringing the then Maoists into the peace process." He also said that Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba should bring all the opposition parties together to form a new government.
Stating that Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli should seek a vote of confidence from the Parliament immediately, Acharya said leaders such as Madhav Kumar Nepal and Pushpa Kamal Dahal were equally responsible for the sorry state of affairs of the country's politics at present.
NC Bhaktapur President Durlav Thapa said the time had come again for the Congress to give a breakthrough to the country.
