Koirala vs Koirala

Manisha, the Bollywood kitten, grand-daughter of nepali giant BP Koirala, had scant words for the on-going 'Andolan' (movement). "If the king promises election within a year, we should respect it".
The bald grand-uncle GP would have none of it. In his 82 years of age this morose and quarrelsome man is the obstacle on the road forward. What drives him, what posseses him? Not a gram of shame, not an ounce of reflection that he himself might be PRIMARILY responsible for the mess the Nepal is in!
Two leaders of Christian Easter service have been arrested from the Amphitheater in Thundikhel. Though the HMG guaranteed the 'Order prohib. assembly of more than 5 persons' doesn't apply to religious processions, they have been detained upon urging of the close-by agitating political leaders! So this are the democrats - not even yet at the trough and already acting like BIGOTS! Bad omens if these guys get to the levers of power again!
So much more refreshing the joviality of Interior Minister Kamal Thapa. Though hard to imagine under what stress he functions (his ancestral home in Hetauda was burned down, adding to the worries!), he manages to joke about the food - or the lack of it - to the detained demonstrators, and professing respect - and orders to the police prove it! - for the 'leaders'. This guy has my 100% sympathy!
