> On Thursday 24th March, the Indian Ambassador Shiv Shanker Mukerjee
> had hosted a private dinner at his residence entertaining the leaders
> of the political parties. The guest-list is as follows:-
> Ex-prime minister Surya Bdr. Thapa,
> Ex-Prime Minister Sher Bdr. Deuba & Dr. Mrs.Arju Deuba
> Ex Deputy Prime Minister Shailaja Archarya
> Ex ministers - Purna Bdr. Khadga, Ram Sharan Mahat, Jhalanath Khanal,
> Prakash Chandra Lohani, Ananda Devi and few other political leaders
> such as Sagar Rana.
>
> As the cocktails were served, the Indian Ambassador made a statement
> "...that the King's move was against the interest of India, against
> the interest of the political parties and against the interest of the
> Nepalese people as well...So, that you all should get together and
> start agitation against the King's move... any necessary help we will
> provide...".
>
> Jhalanath (UML),then,mentioned that their party is the most organised
> and if supported they can effectively start the agitation. Ananda Devi
> also mentioned that Nepal has to be made into a republic !
>
> Then, I believe, war of words started when Ram Sharan Mahat balantly
> blamed Sher Bdr.Deuba for dissolving the house of parliament and
> requesting the King to use Article 127. After this, Purna Bdr.Khadga
> counter acted by shouting at Ram Sharan Mahat abusively that the main
> culprit of creating this whole quamire squarely rested on Girija
> Pd.Koirala. Then apparantly mayhem broke loose (mind you, this is all
> taking place in front of the Indian Ambassador). Purna Bdr. started
> using abusive languages and then Sher Bdr. got into the fray by
> attacking Ram Sharan and Dr. Arzu pulling at his shirt tails !
> Watching all this silently was Shailaja Acharya. Disgusted she
> apparantly just walked out and went home.
>
> Amidst all these shouting and in-fighting suddenly someone realised
> that a person was lying down on the floor. Thinking that someone had
> taken one to many, when they turned him around, they found that Surya
> Bdr. Thapa had passed out due to high blood pressure and had to be
> rushed to the hospital.
>
> Indian Ambassador, holding his head in his hand, lamented that as
> these fools will not be able to get their act together, his tenure of
> office is short-lived.
>
> God help the ethics of the Indian Ambassador and the behaviour of so
> called politicians ?!!
