A history ends with the death of Girija Prasad Koirala

In the streets of Kathmandu, life was as usual, Saturday afternoon. But a large number of people and leaders had gathered outside a house in Mandikhatar in nervous mood. There, the supreme commander of Nepalese politics Girija Prasad Koirala breathed his last at 12.10 pm. His party officially confirmed his death at 1:45 pm.

Koirala died after battling with bad health for a long time while still commanding the Nepali politics.

Born in Tadi, Saharsha district in Bihar, India, in 1925 when Koirala’s family was in exile, Koirala returned to his homeland Biratnagar at the age of 5. But the Koirala family was again sent into exile for waging war against the autocratic Rana regime. He was the youngest son of Krishna Prasad Koirala and Divya Koirala. Two of his brothers B. P. Koirala and M. P. Koirala also became Prime Ministers of Nepal.

A high school dropout, Koirala was married to Sushma Koirala and has a daughter Sujata Koirala, currently serving as deputy prime minister and foreign minister. He started his political career at the age of 23 as a leader of workers union in Biratnagar Jute Mill. He was jailed for seven years along with his brother B. P. Koirala in 1960 following coup by King Mahendra dismissing the first elected government led by B. P. Koirala. He was released after 21-day strike in jail.
In 1948 Koirala founded the Nepal Mazdoor Congress, later known as the Nepal Trade Union Congress. In 1952 he became the district president of Morang of his party and held that office until he was arrested in royal coup in 1960.
Upon his release in 1967, Koirala, along with other leaders and workers of the party, was sent into exile. He returned to country in 1979 along with B. P. Koirala under national reconciliation campaign. Since then he continued his active participation in national politics.
Koirala served as prime minister of Nepal for five times -- from May 26, 1991 to November 30, 1994; from April 15, 1998 to May 31, 1999; from March 22, 2000 to July 26, 2001 and from April 25, 2006 to August 5, 2008. Besides being prime minister, he was acting head of the state between May 28, 2008 and July 23, 2008 when the Constituent Assembly formally abolished monarchy from the country.
He was the first democratically elected prime minister of Nepal after the restoration of democracy in 1990.
Koirala, who served as the general secretary of the party from 1975 to 1991, was elected as the party president during ninth convention held in Kathmandu on May 11, 1996 and has been occupying the position. During his first term, the house of representatives enacted legislation to liberalize education, media and health sectors in the country. The government also founded the Purwanchal University and the B. P. Koirala Institute of Health and Sciences (BPKIHS) in the Eastern Development region and granted licenses to private sector to run medical and engineering colleges. The government also undertook the construction of the BP Memorial Cancer hospital in Bharatpur.
Koirala took over as Prime Minister from Surya Bahadur Thapa following the collapse of the coalition government led by Thapa in his second term. Koirala first headed a Nepali Congress minority government until December 25, 1998 after which he headed a three-party coalition government with the Communist Party of Nepal (UML) and the Nepal Sadhbhawana Party.
He became prime minister for the third time following resignation by Krishna Prasad Bhattarai, under whose leadership party had won the parliamentary election.
During this term, the insurgency in the country had reached to a critical height. The Royal Palace massacre that killed the whole family of king Birandra also took during this term.
He played a crucial role in forging political consensus among parties and held secret talks with underground CPN (Maoist). The Jana Andoland II, led by Koirala forced King Gyanendra to withdraw his steps and reinstate parliament as demanded by the party.
After the reinstatement of the House of Representatives on April 24, 2006 Koirala was selected to become prime minister by the leaders of the Seven Party Alliance. Following the promulgation of the interim constitution, Koirala, as the Prime Minister, acted as the interim head of state of Nepal until election of first president on July 23, 2008.
On April 1, 2007, Koirala was re-elected as Prime Minister to head a new government composed of the SPA and the CPN (Maoist).
He played steering role in armed struggle against the Rana regime. In an interview with the Kantipur Television of Nepal, Koirala admitted to printing fake Indian currencies to run political campaigns while being in exile in India. He was also involved in hijacking the Royal Nepal Airlines aircraft to put further pressure for ending Rana rule in the country.
His latest contribution to national politics was restoration of peace by dragging armed insurgent Maoist into political mainstream. He led the coalition government that included Maoist, and successfully held the first Constituent Assembly, which has been mandated to write new constitution within May 28. nepalnews.com

Model Extortion

source:  Yahoo7
A man who blackmailed Cindy Crawford has been sentenced to two years in prison.

Edis Kayalar has been found guilty of extorting money from the supermodel - who is married to Rande Gerber - by threatening to release a photograph of her then-seven-year-old daughter Kaia gagged and bound to a chair.
Court documents from his appearance in court in Kirchheim unter Teck, Germany state that Kayalar - who turned himself into police in Germany last November - stole the photograph from the couple's former nanny in 2009.
Cindy reportedly gave into Kayalar's initial requests and paid him $1,000 for a copy of the image. However, Kayalar attempted to extort a further $100,000 from the couple and repeatedly threatened to sell or release the photograph to the media if they failed to pay.
According to the documents, Kaia - who is now eight - told her parents the photo, which they had been unaware of, was taken during a "cops and robbers"
game with her nanny.
Cindy and Rande married in 1998 and they also have a 10-year-old son Presley.

Gurshan 'knocked out by opening door'

Source: Yahoo!7 March 11, 2010, 9:46 am 
The father of the man accused of killing Indian toddler, Gurshan Singh, has claimed the death was an "innocent mistake".
Gursewak Dhillon, 23, has been charged with criminal negligence and manslaughter over the death of the three-year-old, who was found on a roadside in Melbourne last Thursday.
Police allege the part-time taxi driver put the unconscious child in the boot of his car and drove him around for at least three hours before dumping him.
The father of the accused, Pragat Singh Dhillon, has told the Indian media that his son detailed the death in a telephone conversation three days ago.
"Gursewak told me that as he opened the main door to his residence in Melbourne, which he shared with 12 others, including parents of Gurshan, he hit the boy. He said he could not see from outside that Gurshan was standing next to the door, and the child got hit and fell unconscious," he told the Indian Express newspaper.
Gursewak reportedly told his father he shook Gurshan to try to wake him up, but the child didn't respond.
"He then called out to Gurshan's mother, who was taking a bath, and his own wife, Simrat Kaur, who was in the kitchen at the time, but both couldn't hear his calls. He then put the child in his car to take him to hospital," he told the Indian Express.
"He then put the child in his car to take him to hospital."
When his car had run out of petrol, the accused reportedly dumped the body out of fear of being charged with murder.
The case has been adjourned till June 29, with the prosecution seeking extra time to prepare evidence against Gursewak.
He has been remanded in custody amid concerns that he posed an unacceptable flight risk and could also tamper with witnesses in the case.
Although Gursewak lived in the same house as Gurshan, he is not a relative.
