I can't argue with you my child @mkoirala. I have always treated you as my daughter. When you invited us for the premiere of 1942-a Love story, I did not stay for the film. Yes, @sushmaswaraj watched the film and you had Bansuri in your lap./1

That's just 27 years back. In 1977 and onwards, you were in South Extension attending APJ School in Saket. Your father Prakash Koirala is like my brother and your mother Sushma Koirala has been a sister in law and a friend. We have seen difficult situations together. /2

I was with your grandfather B.P.Koirala the day AIIMS diagnosed his cancer. I remember BP telling me "this is an advanced stage of cancer and I have just six months to live." I was upset. But there was no sign of despair on his face. /3

I know the glorious traditions of your family. Your grandfather BP Koirala, his brother also named BP Koirala, and then youngest brother GP Koirala - all three brothers became Prime Ministers of Nepal. Your aunt and my friend Shailaja Acharya was Dy Prime Minister of Nepal. /4

I also know how much did your family struggle. Your grandfather BP was in jail for 18 years. His life was spared because Nepal being a Hindu state would not hang a Brahmin. At the age of 26, your aunt Shailaja (BP's sister's daughter) had suffered eight years in jail. /5

Now this is for Prakash Koirala. Who was with Nepali Congress in their struggle. I think all of us. JP, Lohia, Chandrashekharji, George Fernandes. Of them, Chandrashekharji did the most. In 1973, I was also in Nepal for many weeks and reached the inner bailey of the palace. /6

We were with you in your struggle for democracy. There was nothing for India or Indians. Once you settled with the King, there was nothing that we wanted. When we learnt of your views as an MP, we were upset. But we thought these were compulsions of Nepali politics./7

Indians should know that there was a conspiracy to end the only Hindu state in the world. They collaborated with Maoists. They hosted Prachand and Babu Ram Battarai in safe houses here.They destroyed the only Hindu state. Their mission was complete. /8

The result was that communists are using China against India. Or China is using communists against India. The result is that traditionally China's border with India was up to the Himalayas. Now China's border with India is at Birgunj. /9

India may have grievances with Nepal or Nepal may have serious issues with India. That's between India and Nepal. How do you bring in China ? That's bad for us. And that's not good for Nepal either. /10

When you bring in China, you are destroying thousands of years old bonds with us. You are destroying our common heritage. Most importantly, you are reducing your own position as a sovereign country as well. /11

We require a lock, a very big lock. One lock that can seal the mouths of all the Motormouths. It is required on urgent basis much before they can spoil our relations with our neighbouring countries.

Some people suffer from a disease. It is called Cameritus. The symptom of the disease is that the moment these people see a TV camera, their mouths open. They don’t stop till their parties call them home.
