"The country is passing through a tough time. It seems unclear if the ruling NCP is divided or undivided. Nepali Congress is in a dilemma over supporting either faction of the ruling party. But, NC has to join hands in favour of no-confidence motion," he stated. He said the parties would have to decide the name of the prime minister before registering the no-trust motion against the prime minister.
"It would be good if parties like NC and Dahal-Nepal faction of the NCP hold discussion on the name of the prime minister prior to registering no-trust motion in the Parliament," he added. DR Koirala had felicitated Sailendra Kumar Jha, Sugananda Jha and Rabinath, among others, who had donated land for construction of the hospital at the programme.
