  • संविधानको तेस्रो संशोधन सम्बन्धमा प्रेस वक्तव्य — विश्वेश्वर प्रसाद कोइराला (माघ २१, २०३७)

    श्री ५ महाराजाधिराजद्धारा हालैमा घोषित संविधानको तेस्रो संशोधन निराशाजनक छ । यसमा निश्रय नै त्यस्ता तत्वहरु पनि समावेश भएका छन् जो संसदीय प्रजातन्त्रका विशेष लक्षण हुन् । तर यी सकारात्मक तत्वहरुलाई संविधानमा अन्य प्रतिकूल धाराबाट निस्कृय गर्ने प्रयत्न भएको छ । देशलाई अहिले यस्तो राजनीतिक यन्त्र चाहिएको छ जसले आर्थिक–सामाजिक परिवर्तन ल्याउन सकोस्, जस्ले २० वर्ष देखि स्थापित प्रतिगामी, शोषणशील र अन्तराष्ट्रिय निहित स्वार्थको फन्दावाट देशलाई मुक्त गर्न सकोस् र एउटा सशक्त राष्ट्रिय शक्तिको निर्माण गर्न सकोस् । आज हामीहरुलाई चाहिएको यस्तो यन्त्र हो जसले जनप्रिय संस्थाहको सृष्टि गरोस्, जसद्धारा आर्थिक विकासका लागि चाहिने हाड घोटिने खालको प्रयत्नका लागि जनता संचालित हुन सकून् । केवल शक्तिको एक हट्ठी कायम र सुरक्षित राख्ने प्रयत्नमा संविधानदाताले त्यो साहस बटुल्न सकेको छैन जो आजको राष्ट्रिय हाँक हो । नियन्त्रण read more...

  • Socialist International Madrid (A short report Nepal presented by Mr. B. P. Koirala at the Congress of the Socialist International) - B. P. Koirala (Madrid, 1980)

    The last 18 months have been a hectic time for Nepal. It was during this period that the rigid authoritarian grip of the system under the King with absolute powers has started loosening; and the opposition democratic forces driven underground during the last 20 years of authoritarian rule, started appearing over ground and working among people in a generally relaxed atmosphere. During this period the King called a referendum to decide what the people wanted by way of change in the political system; he relaxed the ban on political campaigning and granted a general amnesty to all political read more...

  • "Nationalism and Democracy: In the history of every nation there comes such moment when its people have to risk their lives to safeguard the national identity. We think, such a moment has come in Nepal today" - Statement

    - Bishweswor Prasad Koirala (December 30, 1976) (The statement B.P. Koirala gave on return from exile)

    After a pretty long period of exile, we are returning to our country. On this occasion, I would like to say a few words to the countrymen.
