Koirala briefed that his team inspected the Tribhuvan International Airport as many as 11 times to curb the so-called networks of foreign employment agents, airport security teams and immigration officials — infamously known as airport setting — in order to through migrant workers unlawfully. In this connection, he further said, as many as 117 fake passports and two rackets were busted by officials deployed from the Central Intelligence Bureau, according to a statement issued by the MoFA.

NATIONAL Koirala holds prime minister responsible for current crisis News Service Tikapur, October 10 Nepali Congress President Sushil Koirala today held Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai responsible for dissolving the Constituent Assembly and staging a political coup on May 27. Inaugurating the training programme of district presidents and mahasamiti members of the farwest region in Kailali’s Tikapur, Koirala said, “Bhattarai staged a political coup on May 27. As a result, the country has plunged into political morass.” Koirala went on to say that the Maoists had lost the trust of the opposition parties due to its unilateral decision on dissolving the Constituent Assembly. He said his party can no longer trust UCPN-Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal. “It is the NC that brought the Maoists into mainstream politics from the jungle. But, we cannot trust them now for all their double standards,” Koirala added. He also charged that UCPN-Maoist was befuddling the political landscape by frequently shifting its decision between revival of the dissolved CA and fresh polls. Koirala said explicitly that the resurrection of the dead Constituent Assembly would not be acceptable to his party. Coming down heavily on the Maoists, NC chief accused them of betraying the people and country at large. “Six years have passed hoping for the consensus. But Maoists always throttled the consensus,” he added. On his part NC senior leader Sher Bahadur Deuba stressed on the need to promulgate a new constitution by reviving the dissolved Constituent Assembly. “Otherwise, the country has to conduct two polls,” he added. However, he maintained, the country cannot bear the economic burden for two elections. Deuba argued that a separate state comprising nine districts of the far-west would help to develop the region rapidly. “Tharu community will get more opportunities if the nine districts are included in the state,” he added. NC Vice-president Ramchandra Paudel accused the UCPN-Maoist of keeping the country in state of limbo by budging from revival of the dead CA and fresh polls. “The UCPN-Maoist is bemusing the country and people constantly by shifting its stance between CA revival and fresh polls,” he said. Similarly, General Secretary Prakashman Singh accused the UCPN-Maoist of trying to capture the state. • ONCE-OVER Girls held for fraud PHIDIM: Police on Wednesday held two girls who were seeking to procure passports by submitting fake documents from Panchthar District Administration Office.
