NC can do without Koiralas
Talking to media persons after watching the documentary, CPN (Unified Socialist) leader and former prime minister Jhalanath Khanal praised the steps taken by BP Koirala at a time when Nepal’s map was changed due to the risk on small nations from the India-Soviet alliance in South Asia. He described BP's move as a bold step in Nepal's democratic movement.
On the occasion, Khanal said that it would have been better if the support of leftist communists supporting the movement at that time were also included in the documentary.
