Kathmandu, 12 March: Ailing Girija Prasad Koirala, 86, Friday moved into the house of his daughter Sujata for the first time after the toppling of the panchayat n 1990.
She bought a house at Mandikitak in the capital after returning to Nepal Germany following a system change in 1990.
She was married to a German.
For 20 years after the political change, Girija either stayed at Baluwatar or the private residence of Dr Shashanka Koirala, his nephew and son of elder brother BP Koirala, Nepal’s first elected prime minister.
Girija stayed at a rented house in Maharajgunj and didn’t go back of Shakanka’s house after Chairman Prachanda was appointed prime minister 19 months ago.
Government was paying Rs 50,000 rent for the house.
Girija moved to his daughter’s house from the rented room Friday.
Girija’s health is deteriorating.

“Maoist combatants in uniform saluted garlanded UN officials B. Pascoe and Karim Landgren at a camp on Chitwan even as they opposed foreign interference. Perhaps they were saluting their friendly foreign supporters. Nepal Army would never do such a thing.”

(An observant political analyst.)

“Pascone’s threat the UN will withdraw from Nepal is welcome. But threat s sounds like an invited guest’s threat at a dinner to leave but won’t. The sooner the UN gets out of Nepal the better.”
