स्वर्गीग गिरिजाप्रसादलाई भावपूर्ण श्रद्धाञ्जली....

“It is a sensible proposal. I hope this will encourage the Maoists to become committed to completing the peace process and the constitution writing as early as possible in hopes of seeing a government under their leadership in place following completion of both the tasks ... Let us sit together and have an agreement to this effect on power sharing.” Girija Prasad Koirala (2 week ago).

Former Nepalese Prime Minister and President of the Nepali Congress Girija Prasad Koirala (known as G. P. Koirala Nepali: गिरिजा प्रसाद कोइराला or girija babu) dies at 12:10 p.m. on Saturday (20 March 2010) at the age of 86.
Koirala born 18 Asar, 1981 B.S. (1925 A.D.), Bihar, Saharasa, India. He was son of Krishna Koirala and Dibya Koirala. Koirala had been Prime Minister of Nepal four times, serving from 1991 to 1994, 1998 to 1999, 2000 to 2001, and from 2006 to 2008; he was also Acting Head of State from January 2007 to July 2008. Koirala staked his political career on making peace with the Maoist rebels who waged a decade-long insurgency against the state.

Girija Prasad Koirala has left at a time when his centrist politics would have been a moderating influence on all sides. Only he could stand up to the spoilers — the right wing within his party, Nepal Army hawks, Maoist dogmatists and even Indian security hawks. The greatest tribute to him, and his six-decade-long political life, would be for Nepal to institutionalize peace and write a democratic constitution. Koirala’s name will ever remain in golden letters in the history of Nepal for his laudable roles in critical democratic movements of the country.
we know that his passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of all those who knew him. Koirala will always remain within our hearts.With our deepest sympathy.
