Addressing a function at Deukhuri in Dang, Koirala said, "Retaliate against the attackers in the same way they attack you." Koirala was there to unveil the statue of NC´s Dang-based late leader Shree Narayan Chaudhary.
Koirala spent most of his time lambasting the UCPN (Maoist) and its recent activities including attacks, intimidations and violence. "NC shouldn´t tolerate Maoist´s brutal activities, he said, adding, "Be united and retaliate against them."
He, however, said the NC will not attack first. "When others attack us, we should not remain quiet but we should retaliate against them. This is NC´s policy."
Koirala also said that Maoist party´s recent activities irritating neighboring countries have made Nepali people bow their heads in shame.
"Maoists´ anti-president and anti-national activities have forced Nepalis to bow down their heads in shame." Late NC leader Chaudhary was killed by Maoists about nine years ago.
