UML dances as ring master reins
Opposition calls nationwide strikes
Kathmandu : CPN(UML)
KP Sharma Oli has been
dancing as the want of ring
master. According to close
sources of Oli camp, Oli
has been disappointed since
22 nd January. He was
confident that Prime
Minister Sushil Koirala
would have resigned from
the post but Prime Minister
Koirala denied doing so .
After resignation Oli would
have sworn for the post of
Prime Minister. All have
ruined by the stance of
Madhesh based parties.
They refused to join the Oli
led government. And finally
oppositions led by UCPN
(Maoist) opposed the
proposal of ruling parties.
That
caused
the
declaration of constitution
delayed. Now UML finds
main hurdle for making Oli
Prime
Minister
is
Congress. PM Koirala is
not interested in giving
resignation
before
declaration of constitution
or in the absence of a new
discourse of country. After
mass meeting of 28 th
February, it was expected
the final talk would be seen
but since then Oli has been
silent and absent in the
talks between opposition
and ruling parties. The
absence of Oli has been
major
problem
of
concluding a way out of
current political deadlock.
According to close source
of Nepali Congress, now
Sherbahadur Deuba himself
wants to be Prime Minister
so the weight of Oli has
been lighter than Deuba.
But Deuba also has not got
in such capacity to grow
much more weight than Oli.
In the external prospectus
Deuba and Oli have been
fighting for the race of
Prime Minister. Deuba has
been continuously keeping
efforts making his external
power
since
the
appointment of Dr.
Baburam Bhattarai. So
Deuba has gathered more
than Oli but not the
difference is more enough.
Oli has been throwing
Madhesh based parties to
wall saying 5 districts of
Madhesh will be added to
mountain. That has been
seen blunder for him so he
is waiting for the final steps
for the new Prime Minister.
The question -who will be
the new Prime Minister?,
has been most important
thing in contemporary
Nepali politics. Till then
China has been clutching
rein of Nepali politics. China
is also waiting for a suitable
environment playing in
Nepal. According to some
analysts when China feels
suitable environment, he will
loosen reign to easy political
atmosphere of Nepal. Till
Kathmandu. Anil Jha led Federal Sadabhawana Party and Sarita Giri led Nepal
Sadabhawana Party has merged their party. They have named their parties Nepal
Sadabhawana Party and party symbol open hand locally known Panja. Party president
will be Anil Jha and Sarita Giri will be co-president of the party. Anil Jha is in constituent
assembly with single member and Giri is out of assembly.
then Oli has no any piece to
move so he has been delaying
talks sending his deputies.
Since presence of Oli there
will no result will happen.
Recently Oli was absent. And
oppositions have also given
time Oli to think because they
announced their national wide
strike after 20 days.
Oppositions have called
nationwide strike on April 2,
7 to 9 after participating talks
with the leaders of ruling
parties. Noting Top of Form
Bottom of Form that the
ruling parties could not forge
consensus with the opposition
parties on the disputed issues
of the constitution drafting
process within the set
deadline, the 30-party alliance
led by the UCPN (Maoist)
decided to call a nationwide
strike on April 2 and from
April 7 to 9.
The protest program was
proposed at the meeting of the
alliance held in Singha Durbar.
The protest schedule
announced by the alliance
proposes to hold protest
assemblies,
awareness
programs and sit-in protests
in the district headquarters
throughout the country on
March 19. Similarly, in March 28, the
alliance plans to hoist black
flags to protest public events
and programs attended by
prime minister, ministers and
high officials of the
government. 2

Editorial
HIV, poverty and breastfeeding
Take advantage of given space
Oppositions have given a space for the ruling
parties. Oppositions are seen weaker in the eyes of
some analysts because they have announced their
programs but those are after 20 days. This shows
oppositions have not prepared for the second phase
of movement. The first phase of movement was
seen success but not as much as required to
pressurize the ruling parties. The preparation
requires for movement but announcing general
strike doesn’t require more time to prepare. So it
seems that oppositions have given space to rethink
about the situation of country. Oppositions mass
meeting held on 28 February in Kathmandu. This
was final program of fist phase. Ruling parties
would have engaged the oppositions in talk but they
delayed the talk. They threw the oppositions to wall.
This will not be good for the sake of country.
Country requires a peaceful way out. But ruling
parties have shown no concern as required. If the
once the environment of movement engulfed the
country, people starts pouring and pouring on the
road. Once people start pouring on the road the
ruling parties will have to be washed away as it was
seen in recent past of Nepal. So the ruling parties
will take advantage of given space.

Wife of doctors medical Asso.

National Weekly
.
Few months back, I received
a call from a fifth year medical
student posted in one of the
remote hospitals of Nepal as
part of the rural medical
outreach program. She was
confused and expressed her
concerns. She said, “We have
a case here and we are not
sure what to do.” What she
told me, made me feel really
proud of these very
concerned
and
compassionate
future
doctors. At the same time, it
also left so many questions
unanswered about the
ground reality of HIV and
poverty in this country. She
told me a story of a young
sixteen years old girl who was
poor, naïve and pregnant. Her
blood test showed she was
HIV positive. The very
competent
and
compassionate doctor and his
great team from that remote
hospital delivered her baby
taking all the universal
precaution. Her maternity care
was no different from any
other new mothers. After the
delivery, the mother and her
baby
were
apparently
healthy. However, there were obvious
questions about the reliability
of the laboratory tests, and if
the results were really true.
There were questions about
how she contracted HIV
infection, her viral load, and
the family issues, among other
things. But the biggest and
most immediate question was
whether or not to let this
young mother breastfeed her
newborn!Not very long ago,
I had delivered lectures on
HIV to these medical
students. I had taught them
theories from standard
textbooks,
prescribed
practices of the World Health
Organization (WHO), our
national guidelines and facts
from the latest scientific
researches. But back then, I
had not anticipated a real
situation like this.There has
been remarkable improvement
in HIV prevention, diagnosis
and access to antiretroviral
therapy at both global and
national levels over the
decade.
However,
the
problems related to HIV
persist. One issue that
remains extremely challenging
is the prevention of mother to
child transmission (PMTCT),
particularly among the
poorest ones.Nepal’s national
guidelines on PMTCT
suggest a four-pronged
comprehensive strategy. The
first and foremost strategy is
to prevent HIV transmission
for women of childbearing
age. Secondly, among women
living with HIV, efforts should
be made
to prevent
unintended or unplanned
pregnancy. Thirdly, all
pregnant women with HIV are
required to start antiretroviral
(ARV) medicines by 14th week
of pregnancy or at the earliest.
Careful monitoring is
necessary throughout her
pregnancy. Safer delivery
practices for childbirth, and
safe feeding practices are
recommended for the infant.
Fourthly,
appropriate
treatment, care and support are
recommended for the mother,
her child and the family.
But what would you do when a
sixteen-year old pregnant lady
presents a little too late to
follow some initial strategies of
the guidelines? How will you
help her and her newborn,
when it will still take few days
to actually reconfirm her tests
or to start ARV? What would
you do before you could refer
someone like her with very little
money,
experience
and
knowledge from a hospital in a
remote corner of Nepal? What
is the safer feeding practice
under this particular situation?
You may suggest feeding the
baby with formula milk,
because you are worried that
HIV could be transmitted to her
baby through the breast milk.
But
with
the
given
circumstances of our poor
country, it is just not possible
for her to find or afford formula
milk in those remote villages.
Even if she could, with lack of
access to clean water and
sanitation, it is extremely
difficult for her to practice a
hygienic way of preparing the
formula milk. You may then
argue that she could feed her
newborn with cow milk or
buffalo milk. But the milk from
animal sources is too
concentrated and difficult to
digest for newborns. And again
hygiene still remains a major
concern.In Nepal, deaths
among newborns are still quite
high. The demography health
survey of Nepal as of 2011
shows that the neonatal
mortality rate is still 33 deaths
per thousand live births.More
newborns die due to illnesses
caused by diarrhea and
respiratory tract infections than
due to HIV infection. In other
words, if you try to avoid
breast-feeding, despite your
good intentions of preventing
HIV transmission, the newborn
may not survive in the first
place.But this is not just a sad
reality of Nepal alone. This has
been an issue in most povertystricken parts of the world.
Emerging evidences globally
suggests that mothers living
with
HIV
from
poor
socioeconomic background
should be encouraged to
exclusively breast feed her
newborn. World Health
Organization too states that
“mothers known to be HIVinfected… should exclusively
breastfeed their infants for the
first 6 months of life,
introducing
appropriate
complementary
foods
thereafter, and continue
breastfeeding for the first 12
months of life.”As a matter of
fact, every mother irrespective
of her HIV-status should be
encouraged to exclusively
breast feed her baby – which
Dr. Rolina Dhital print
means no other liquids, not
even water, other than breast
milk for the first six months. This
is because breast milk provides
immunity that helps newborn
fight many infections. Breastfeeding is also the cleanest and
safest way to provide adequate
nutrients to the newborns even
in the most resource constraint
settings. At times, it is also
about weighing and balancing
the risks of HIV transmission
versus other more immediate life
threatening illnesses.Thus, the
most immediate explanation I
was able to provide to my
students was to encourage the
mother to start breastfeeding
her newborn, meanwhile not
delaying
support
and
counseling
for
further
investigations and on when,
where and how to start ART for
both
mother
and
newborn.However, the story I
heard about this sixteen-year
old mother was based on a
telephone conversation, when
I was sipping a cup of coffee
within the comforts of urban life
in Kathmandu. What these fifth
year medical students had
witnessed were the real
experiences in a place that takes
hours of drive, far away from the
capital city.Thus, I am not
entitled to provide further
details of this particular sixteen
year old. Neither have I met her
in person nor I was the doctor
treating her. But I am certain, the
decisions taken by the doctor
in charge, and other health
professionals were in the best
interest of this young mother
and her baby.But as a teacher
and a public health practitioner,
it is also my moral responsibility
to put issues like this to discuss
openly with both the people
from medical and non-medical
backgrounds. In real life, it is a
rather complicated issue to
decide on and unfortunately it
is not always “black and white”.
But from public health
perspective, for resource
constraint settings, with lack of
access to clean water and
sanitation, where people live in
extreme poverty- irrespective of
the HIV status of the mother,
breast-feeding would be the
first step to save a newborn’s
life.

The advantage of the open border is enormous
Nepal and India is a special relation. I think such relation is rare
in the world between two countries. The relation is linked with
economical and social relation. We have the relation of blood.
So the open border is important for both countries. As well as
some problems are for both countries. But the advantage of the
open border is enormous.
Q. How long will
your movement go as
you with your front
are in preparation?
-The movement is
really for supporting
the
process
of
constitution making.
The movement gives
power to the spirit of
establishing
constituent assembly.
Till the assurance is
established
the
movement
will
continue.
QYour front has
given ultimatum to
the ruling parties
bringing proposals of
upcoming talk. If
they fail bringing
proposal what will
happen then?
-Putting aside Nepali
Congress and UML
there will be no
constitution. During
the first constituent
assembly these two
parties failed making a
common ground for
making constitution.
The moral of the
demise of the first
constituent assembly is
without consensus
there will no life of
constitution. So we are
running movement to
make such consensus
ground of making
constitution. For the
making situation of
consensus, the ball is
in the court of Congress
and UML. They should
think of interest of the
people of county and
from such required
situation of pleasing all
forces of Nepal. The
constitution is not to be
a specific party. The
constitution should be
of all. This is known to
Congress and UML. The
constitution can’t be
formed by and based on
manifestos of parties.
The constitution will be
a
document
of
consensus. But I hope
they will understand the
fact. They also require a
good constitution for the
sake of country. The
country requires a god
constitution for the
development. We are
giving
them
opportunities to think
over the situation of
country.
Q. What do you think
you have got the goal
for what you waged
first phase movement?
- By the first phase
movement we have got
from
different
communities of Nepal I
would like to thank them.
By their help we got a big
success. We have
achieved the goal
targeted before the first
phase movement. The
mass meeting held in
Kathmandu has given a
strong message to ruling
parties to conclude a
required consensus. For
that we have enough
support of people.
Q. Though your mass
meeting organized in
Kathmandu
got
success but the
pressure of the mass
meeting
has not
transfer to ruling
parties as much as
required to initiate a
serious talk possibly
sooner?
-There is a strategic
issues are in Congress
and UML. They want
making constitution for
a group and cast not for
all. Or they have their
personal interest. They
should have to think
about the national
interest. We are waging
movement for that.
Q. Do you think
Congress and UML
are receiving pressure
of movement?
The top leaders
of Nepal have an
irresponsible behavior
to attack other leaders
sarcastically. They did
such
behavior.
Responsible leaders
would have been
responsible at the
movement
of
constitution making.
They should be more
responsible and aware of
being responsible during
Dr. Vijaykumar Singh
CA member & Leader Tarai
Madhesh Democratic Party
dialogue.
Once
statement is established
among people it will be
difficult to let it back.
We are facing of ego.
Leaders have major
problems of seeking
their
ego
once
established among
people. All say the
consensus is already
done.
Q.Do you mean the
problem is personal
ego or interest of
leaders?
-Definitely it is. Many
political analysts have
said that. The ego, like
once said that is not to
be rectified, is the
problem.
Such
statements would not
have been made. They
would have been aware
of it while expressing
them. Such sensitivity
was not seen in them.
All knows that shift
from unilateral to
federal is a difficult
thing. Now it is the time
of formation only. The
problem will be at the
time of implementation
also. About such
prospectus the leaders
are known or they have
not uplifted their
understandings about the
federalism. Ruling
parties made opposition
ignited doing that
unexpected situation in
constituent assembly.
Q. What do you think
the open border
between India and
Nepal has given
advantage to people?
-The open border
between Nepal and India
is a special relation. I
think such relation is
rare in the world
between two countries.
The relation is linked
with economical and
social relation. We have
the relation of blood. So
the open border is
important for both
countries. As well as
some problems are for
both countries. But the
advantage of the open
border is enormous. The
open border relation is
important for us.

Mullahs are back in Sharif’s Pakistan-1
A significant development in
Pakistan which has largely gone unnoticed is the re-emergence of the
mullah brigade in the Nawaz Sharif
regime. Now mullahs of all shapes
and beliefs have come out of the
wood works into the streets of
Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi
giving prescriptions about saving
Pakistan. This development has
serious consequences for Pakistan
but the new Prime Minister remains
blind to what these mullahs can do
to Pakistan. Perhaps Sharif is not
entirely opposed to such a
transformation either.
When Nawaz Sharif began to see
himself in Islamabad early this year,
he began projecting himself as a
liberal and progressive leader. He
promised a new Sharif and a New
Pakistan. The people were tired of
Zardari’s Pakistan—everything
was going down since the brief
hurrah of a reasonably fair election
in 2008. Sharif, who had his
premiership interrupted twice by
the generals, came like a breath of
fresh air; at least he sprayed enough
deodorant to camouflage his true
character.
So people thought, here is a guy
who is going to give them peace
and electricity; now they can walk
on the streets safely, go to markets
or schools without getting blown up
and can watch television with their
children every evening or run their
shops not on kerosene lamps or
diesel generations but electricity.
Yes, he may have broken bread
with the Taliban and even Osama
bin Laden, so what; they may be
enemies of the US but not of
Pakistanis. Sharif also may have
thought of anointing himself nizame-mustafa, but then he would have
imposed sharia and made
Pakistan truly Islamic, a work left
undone since the untimely death of
founding father Muhammad Ali
Jinnah.
The world thought Sharif would be
different this time. He spoke
differently; he behaved more
sensibly than in the past; he spoke
all the right things; his gestures were
politically correct; he wanted
friendship with India; he wanted to
talk Afghanistan; he wanted
investments from China and
elsewhere and presented a positive
face to the world.
He has been in Islamabad for over
100 days and what has he done to
make true his claims. Given the fact
that 100 days are too little a time
for any meaningful change in a
country as complex as Pakistan,
Sharif as the Prime Minister wields
enough political clout and power
to steer the course towards a
progressive Pakistan. Instead,
going by what is happening in his
country, he has chosen to look the
other way and let the old brigade
of radicals and extremism take to
the streets without any fear. To give
the devil his due, Zardari was not
keen on courting the mullahs and
did not go out of his way to let
them out. He may have lost to the
khakiwalas but had no love lost
for the bearded ones.
But look at what is happening in
Sharif’s Pakistan. The most recent
is the decision by the Council for
Islamic Ideology to reject a
proposal to punish those who file
false cases of blasphemy.
Blasphemy laws are a blot of any
civilised country and previous
attempts to undo them in Pakistan
have been unsuccessful. Those
who dared to oppose strongly
enough were shot—former Punjab
Governor Salman Taseer and
former minorities minister Shahbaz
Bhatti, both champions of
removing the blasphemy law
which has divided the
communities, put the minorities in
deep distress and pushed the
country towards an extremist path.
More than 1200 people are
charged under the blasphemy
laws which provides for death
sentence as the maximum
punishment. One of the famous
personalities recently charged
under this retrogressive law is well
known political leader and former
Ambassador to US, Sherry
Rehman. Hundreds of Christians,
Ahmadis and Hindus remain
charged and are under going trial.
Majority of these cases have been
false—mostly done out of revenge
or for business or other rivalries.
Therefore a proposal was mooted
to punish those filing false cases
to prevent misuse of the law. The
proposal was sent to the Council
of Islamic Ideology, a
constitutional advisory body on
religious matters. The council has
rejected the proposal and called
for status quo, a serious set back
to those campaigning to contain the
damage inflicted by the obnoxious
law. All eyes are on Sharif who,
as the Prime Minister, can turn
down the advice and bring the
required amendment.
What raises about doubt whether
Sharif would do so is the manner
in which his government has been

Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol to recreate
their magic again onscreen
after a long time, and
pairing her with Shah
Rukh. All I can do is
work really hard.”
Well, hard work is what
pays off, and with a star
cast like this, Rohit must
already be ready to mint
success for the yet
untitled film.
Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan will
be soon reuniting with his Dilwale
Dulhania Le Jayenge co-star Kajol in a
film directed by Rohit Shetty. The duo has
done movies like ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’,
‘Baazigar’, ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’
and ‘My Name is Khan’. They have also
won many awards for the best onscreen
couple. The rumours were put to rest by
Rohit Shetty himself, who revealed about
his upcoming plans with the duo on his
birthday (March 14). Rohit said, “So much
has been said regarding the casting of this
film, and about many films that I’m not
even making, so Shah Rukh and I decided
that I should put it out there officially. I’ve
paired Shah Rukh with Kajol and Varun
(Dhawan) with Kriti (Sanon). It’s not a
remake of Hum (1991) or any other film,
and it will be a Christmas release.”Further
talking about the genre of his movie which
is being speculated to be an action film,
Rohit told Hindustan Times: “It’s a
wholesome entertainer and I would not
categorise it as an action or a comedy
film. It’s a family film that has everything
in it,” he says, adding, “I also have the big
responsibility of bringing Kajol back
Aamir Khan an honest man, true friend: B-Town on
his birthday
Aamir Khan has etched an image as Bollywood’s ‘Mr. Perfectionist’
in action-packed, comedy, romantic and emotional movies in his
career of over 25 years. As the superstar turned 50 on Saturday,
his co-stars and directors talked about a different and fun side of
him.
While actress Preity Zinta feels
that along with dedication to his
work the star has a streak of
madness that adds a zing to life,
Amisha Patel says that he will
always be 22 for her.
Directors like Rajkumar Santoshi
and Indra Kumar also kept his
professional life aside and
described Aamir as a “true
friend”.
Aamir has regaled his fans with
films such as “Qayamat Se
Qayamat Tak”, “Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke”, “Sarfarosh”, “Lagaan”,
“Rang De Basanti”, “Fanaa”, “Ghajini”, “3 Idiots” and “Talaash”
and the very recent “PK” during his long career of more than two
decades.
He is currently busy preparing for his role as a wrestler in “Dangal”.
On turning 50, some stars and directors shared their opinion about
Aamir and wished him a “more successful life” ahead.Preity Zinta:
Aamir has always been very focused on his work, dedicated,
sweet, a bit mad and a lot of fun. We had a lot of fun working in
“Dil Chahta Hai”. It was a youthful film. And we were all young,
and raring to go. All of us had a ball working on it.Amisha Patel:
Everyone knows Aamir to be a perfectionist. But only those who
have worked with him can vouch for his integrity. I am one of the
lucky heroines who had the privilege of doing one of my most
important films “The Rising: Ballad of Mangal Pandey” with Aamir.
It was at the audition for “Lagaan” that I met Aamir for the first
time. I remember he was a superstar. I was a nobody. Yet he treated
me so gently and affectionately. I learnt so much just watching
Aamir at work. Honesty comes naturally to him. Is he really turning
50? To me he’s eternally 22.
Urmila Matondkar: It was wonderful working with Aamir (in
“Rangeela”). The best thing about working with him is that you
can explore any number of ways of approaching the same scene
and then working out the best possible way of executing that
scene. I wish him many more successful films. Rajkumar Santoshi
(who worked with Aamir in “Andaz Apna Apna”):

personnel posted outside had not
prevented the two Taliban
suicide bombers from reaching
the worshippers inside, police
officers and residents said.
Fourteen people were killed and
78 wounded in the blasts outside
the two packed churches during
the Sunday Mass. “When the
guards stopped them from
entering the churches, they blew
themselves up (at the gates),”
Aslam Pervaiz Sahotra, a
Christian leader of the locality,
said. “Today the whole Christian
community in Pakistan is
devastated and is begging the
government to provide it
security,” Sahotra said. “I was
sitting at a shop near the church
when a blast jolted the area. I
rushed towards the spot and saw
a man trying the enter the church
scuffle with a security guard.
After failing, he blew himself up,”
an eyewitness, Amir Masih, said.

Abhishek was among those
killed. “My son had gone to the
church to pray for a good result
in his examinations,” Bibi said as
she cried and struck her head

“He wanted me to sew him some

examinations.”

“suspects” into custody and
“executed” them. “The
suspects confessed that they
were the accomplices of the
suicide bombers and had
come here to monitor the
operation,” Emanuel said.
Police present there did not
stop the mob, a senior officer
admitted. “We did not stop
the enraged mob as there
could have been a clash
between the police and the
mob,” DIG Lahore Haider
Ashraf said. “It was the police
and local security that deterred
the suicide bombers from
entering the churches
otherwise the loss would have
been colossal,” Ashraf added.
The Lahore police have
registered two separate cases
— one against the attack on
the two churches and the
other against the people
involved in killing of the two
‘suspects’ who were lynched
and burnt alive. Punjab Chief
Minister Shahbaz Sharif has
announced Rs 5,00,000
compensation for those killed
in the attack and Rs 75,000
for the injured.

Narendra Modi: India and Sri Lanka must be good neighbours
Narendra Modi has urged Sri
Lanka and India to act like good
neighbours, during the first official
visit to Colombo by an Indian PM
for 28 years. He promised that his
neighbours would benefit from
India’s status as “the new frontier
of economic opportunity”.Analysts
say Mr Modi is attempting to
counter the increasing influence of
China on its island neighbour.
India’s failed effort to broker a
peace deal in Sri Lanka’s civil war
in the 1980s helped to sour
relations.
In recent years, China has offered
cheap loans and helped Sri Lanka
with major infrastructure projects.
Former President Mahinda
Rajapaksa, who was voted out of
office in January, openly hailed his
close relationship with Beijing.
However, the new government of
Maithripala Sirisena has announced
a review of all major deals with
China amid claims of corruption.
The Tamil city of Jaffna was already
gearing up for Mr Modi’s visit,
flying Indian flags from public
buildings Mr Sirisena made his first
overseas trip as president to India
last month, apparently indicating a
willingness to revive the
relationship. Mr Modi, in a speech
to Sri Lanka’s parliament, said the
Mr Modi (L) and Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena appear keen to revive their nations' ties
future of any country was influenced
by the state of its neighbours.”The
future I dream for India is also a future
that I want for our neighbours,” he
said. “The world sees India as the
new frontier of economic opportunity,
but our neighbours should have the
first claim on India.”
Botched peace plan
Mr Modi also urged the new Sri
Lankan government to push forward
with post-war reconciliation. He said
Tamils should be able to live “a life
of equality, justice, peace and
dignity in a united Sri Lanka”.On
Saturday, the Indian leader will
travel to Jaffna, a Tamil-dominated
city that was ravaged during the
1983-2009 civil war. Rajiv Gandhi
was the last Indian prime minister
to visit the island, when Tamil
separatist rebels were escalating
their fight into a full-scale conflict.
He sent peacekeepers and
framed a peace plan that failed to
end the fighting and led to
accusations that India was
meddling in Sri Lanka’s affairs. Mr
Gandhi was hit with a rifle butt by
a Sri Lanka sailor during his 1987
visit. Four years later, he was
assassinated by a Tamil Tiger
suicide attacker in southern India.
