Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala has said he is ready to meet all the just demands made by disgruntled Madhesi parties if they show readiness to take part in the forthcoming constituent assembly election.
“I want to tell the Madhesi friends that they just need to become ready to participate in the elections, then it will be for me to meet all the just demands they are raising,” Prime Minister Koirala said addressing a function organised to mark the 12th anniversary of Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre in Kathmandu Tuesday afternoon.
Stressing that only dialogue can resolve the Terai problem, the Prime Minister also urged the Terai groups to come to the negotiating table. He said he was fully committed to hold the CA polls on time.
This was Koirala’s first public appearance after two weeks of complete bed rest due to bad health.
During his 10-minute long speech at the function, the Prime Minister also blamed the media for the negative hype about his health condition recently and said that he was hale and hearty now.
Sources said the octogenarian Prime Minister, who has been suffering from multiple health complications for a long time, attended the function despite the advice of his doctors for complete rest for a couple of days more.nepalnews.com mk Jan 29 08
