Government formation drama thus begins.

“It has been already agreed between the parties that with the completion of peace process a new government led by Nepali Congress will take formal shape”, Koirala reminded and replying to queries to scribes also added, “I have no desire whatsoever to lead. It is up to the party’s central committee to choose our candidate.”

It's true that India would have printed inuaivddil passports with data filled in them meaning that data of every Nepali traveling abroad would have remained with Indians. The Indians would have used our data to further their espionage interests in Nepal and South Asia. It was a dangerous game that India was playing with us.
