Exceeding diplomatic limits!

Kathmandu: Unfortunate is the nation-state that gives birth to “impotent” and “anti-nationals”.
Cursed is the nation which has leaders like what we have today in the political scene of the country who more often than not exhibit their excessive leaning towards the former British colony in the neighborhood than serving their own nation.

Shame on such leaders who possess no love and honor for their own nation but instead “surrender” to the political dictates of the rulers of the former colony which comes to them through the Viceroy posted in Kathmandu recently.

Unfortunate is this nation that the Indian Ambassador presents his letter of credentials to an India born Nepali Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala.

No diplomatic etiquettes; no diplomatic barriers; the gross violation of the Geneva Convention that regulates the conduct of a foreign diplomat posted in the host country; no diplomatic courtesy; no manner on how to behave with the leaders of the host country; no restriction is imposed on this diplomat by the host country whenever this fake “Lord Mountbatten” “instructs” or even “scolds” the Nepali leaders to do this or to that; is he above the law of this land? Should he be not taken to task by the non-existent foreign ministry officials? Why should not the Nepali leaders, if they possess any regard for their nation had have the guts, pack this “diplomat” in a box and sent back to the country of his origin?

Thanks that former Nepal’s Ambassador to India, Dr. Bhekh Bahadur Thapa had the courage to ventilate his some what shocked feelings while talking to Kantipur Television Monday evening who stated bluntly that “Ambassador Sood who is exceeding his diplomatic limits must be packed in a box and sent back to Delhi”.

Yet another Congress stalwart, Dr. Ram Saran Mahat said the other day that “who the hell this diplomat from India is”? He further said that Ambassador Sood has no right to pronounce even a single word as regards how the Nepali politics should proceed in the days ahead.

Dr. Mahat warned that if this immodest diplomat exceeded his limits and continued in dictating us, we the Nepalese must find a suitable solution on how to “deal with” such “etiquette less” diplomat.

What is surprising is that this diplomat is seen every where. He is with PM Koirala. He could be seen the next second with Prachanda and the moment next talking to Upendra Yadav at Hotel Yak and Yeti.

He concludes that Nepal was the extension of Bihar and hence he possessed every right to pounce upon this country by “seducing” or even “threatening” the leaders of this country to work in the “larger interest” of the former colony ruled mercilessly by the British India Company, if one were to recall.

The present day rulers of the Indian Union have reasons to suffer from highest order of inferiority complex for their ancestors had been ruled brutally by their British Masters for well over a century and thus they prefer to act in the same manner and fashion in the conduct of their relations with its small neighbors, more so with Nepal.

It is only but natural.

Naked interference too has a limit. Unnecessarily poking its nose in the exclusive affairs of a “sovereign country” (but are we now?) too has a border. When this border set by Geneva Convention is crossed by any diplomat whether he is from Europe, or India, the host country has the right to declare such undisciplined diplomat as a Persona Non Grata.

With the real King gone, let’s welcome this most haughty diplomat as our next King from the land of our “traditional neighbor”.

The Indian design is becoming more and more visible with the “dubious” activities being carried out by this stubborn diplomat.

The design is, first, to do away with the King which the Indian establishment has already accomplished.

The second design is to slash the strength of the Nepal Army so that Nepal becomes a pretty weakened state.

Third design is the military intervention in this land under one pretext or the other.

The fourth is to initiate the process of Sikkimisation by maneuvering the Nepalese politics in such a manner that Nepal has a good number of Lendhup Dorjes to work for the Indian designs.
Fifth, the Indian design is to bring in more Indian media in Nepal in order to gag the nationalist press. The process has, fortunately, already begun.

Frankly speaking, the manner and the haste with which the institution of the monarchy has been made to collapse, the process of Sikkimisation presumably has already commenced.

Thanks that some of the sons of this soil are more than what Lendhup Dorje was who later died a most “ignominious death” that was demanded for a traitor like him. Some have already managed free scholarship for their kids and the rest of the Indo-pendent leaders presumably are in the pay-roll. Should this mean that India will have no problem in annexing this country into the former British colony? Keep on guessing.

Time will prove as to which Nepali leaders were supporting this Indian grand design under the cover and at what price?

Now let’s look at what this close to persona non grata diplomat said in Pokhara May 24, Saturday.

He orders the Nepali rulers by stating that “the constitution needed no amendment”.
To recall, the NC, the UML, the Madhesi leaders were of the opinion that the interim constitution be amended prior to the formation of the next government.

Albeit, the Maoists have vociferously been saying that the amendment was not necessary at all. Does not the Ambassador’s saying as regards the amendment in the constitution match with what the Maoists have been talking of late?

This does then mean that Ambassador Sood is a Maoist spokesperson by all means.
But what price the Maoists will have to pay later for having made this diplomat their spokesperson? No free lunch in diplomacy! Mind it Comrades!

Things will become clearer in a matter of months as to how the Maoists when in power are squeezed by the Indian authorities.

This is not all, he further instructs our leaders by saying that “it would be a mistake if one looked back and talked about the need for a constitutional amendment as the newly elected CA body has already the mandate to write a fresh constitution”.

Providing his sermon, he adds, “there should now be one goal which is the drafting of a new constitution….if this goal is forgotten, the country’s peace, development and above all political stability will be in danger”.

(See for this diplomats’ commandments which are some what humiliating and insulting which has been verbatim reported by the Naya Patrika daily dated May 25, Sunday in its second page).

Look how he forwards his own sermons and dictates. This should explain his colonial mindset which is nothing but passed on to him by his ancestors who have had to feel the brunt of the British rule.

The last ray of hope is with Prachanda as regards the preservation of Nepal’s glorious pride and honor. But this last hope too seems to have been recently carried away by the past Indian obligations. No wonder then our fire brand Comrade Prachanda now talks with the CNN-IBN that he would go in for having a “special relationship” with the Indian establishment when in power.

Prachanda favors special relationship with India and his second man Dr. Bhattarai is talked to be the main man behind the drafting of the new constitution in Delhi which is in progress according to the NC leader, Dr. Sashank Koirala.

Bleak future imminent ahead of this wretched country, it appears.

Add to this the fact that Girija Prasad Koirala was born in India and thus to expect some thing “national” from him would be to extract oil from the Rajasthan sand.

All said and done, Nepal’s territorial integrity and sovereignty is definitely under a severe threat of Himalayan dimension.

How the new managers of the republican order will face the India’s hawkish bureaucrats is any body’s guess.

Finally a word of advice to the Nepali leaders: Some one is trying to make you his stooge. Some one is trying to deform your mother. Try to refrain from becoming Lendhup Dorje or else you too will have to bear with the same hatred from your own voters and ultimately die a death of a street dog.

The message should be loud and clear.

By the way, Ambassador Sood would do well if he reads few chapters from the book penned by Hans J. Morgenthau on “Politics Among Nations” and understand correctly his diplomatic limits and act accordingly. A modest advice indeed.
