TPiE mourns the death of Koirala

By Kunsang

Dharamshala: The Tibetan Parliament in Exile (TPIE) has written a condolence message to the family members of Girija Prasad Koirala, former prime minister of Nepal, who passed away on 20 March 2010.

“The departure of H E Girija Prasad Koirala to the heavenly abode, is a great lost not only to Nepal but also for all those who believe in democracy. He was not only the national guardian of Nepal but also a source of inspiration for many of us, struggling for our democratic and natural rights,” said Deputy Speaker Dolma Gyari in the letter dated 23 March.

“At this sad hour, I, on behalf of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile extend to the august family of Koirala, the Nepali Congress Party and the people of Nepal, our sincere condolence and solidarity."

“The love and affection of Girija Babu for the poor, deprived and the Tibetan refugees in Nepal shall be always remembered. May the triple Gem – the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha – bless you and your party to carry forward the legacy of the veteran leader,” the letter noted.

Since the collapse of Prasad's ruling government, Nepal has witnessed many changes and particularly Tibetan plight in Nepal has gone through many ups and downs.
