BIRATNAGAR, Jan 24: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister Sujata Koirala on Sunday claimed membership in the High Level Political Mechanism (HLPM) headed by her father and Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala.



Speaking to journalists at her residence in Biratnagar, he claimed that she is required in the mechanism for the proper understanding with the other countries.[break]



"As a foreign minister I talk daily with UN, UNMIN, European Union and neighbor countries. If I am not informed well about mechanism there will be misunderstanding,” she said. “That’s why I must be a member of the mechanism.”



She said that the mechanism should include her as an invitee member. She also claimed that her father conceptualized the mechanism and Maoist chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal agreed on it.



“I am a supporter of the mechanism since the beginning, but it should only have maximum of seven members, otherwise it would be a fish market,” she added.



Koirala returned Kathmandu on Sunday after three-day political and family trip to Morang and Sunsari.



On Saturday, she announced that she would donate her land to the proposed Krishna Prasad Koirala Museum.



The HLPM currently have four members – Girija Prasad Koirala, Dahal, CPN-UML chairman Jhala Nath Khanal and Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal.
