RSS quoted Dr Karki as saying that there was no need to take Koirala abroad for treatment. He said Koirala´s condition is stable.
The former prime minister is suffering from ailments in his lungs.
Sitaula, who was present during the doctors´ meeting, said Koirala´s condition is stable. Doctors have put Koirala under additional oxygen supply round the clock in the recent days after his condition deteriorated.
