Indian Mission in Nepal : Interference and Instability

http://telegraphnepal.com/news_det.php?news_id=3575

TGW India’s Ambassador to Nepal, Rakesh Sood met with Mr. Kamal Thapa-the president of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party and Mr. Surya Bahadur Thapa- the president of the Rastriya Janashakti Party on June 11, 2008, say reports.

Rakesh Sood met with both the Thapas secretly, writes Road Map weekly-dated June 13, 2008, further.

“Rakesh Sood’s meet with Surya Bahadur Thapa does not bear that much significance because since his hay day in Nepali politics, Surya Bahadur is considered as the real man of the Indian establishment perhaps more trusted partner Thapa is to India than the India born incumbent Prime Minister of Nepal, Mr. Girija Prasad Koirala”, say analyst.

“However, Sood’s secret meet with Kamal Thapa- a staunch royalist, does hint that India possibly is playing double in Nepal in order to provoke the royalists to destabilize the county in the days ahead”, add analysts.

A report published in a vernacular weekly last week had it that RSS (Rastriya Swyam Sevak Sangatha)-India’s Hindu Fundamentalist outfit, had drafted a “Nepal Plan”- that was later submitted to the government of India through the BJP(Bharatiya Janata Party)---which have been already endorsed by the India’s proxy Prime Minister Dr. Man Mohan Singh. The report adds that the RSS Proposal has been forwarded to the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu and the Indian ambassador to Nepal will now on make his moves as per the RSS proposal.

“The RSS proposal mainly focuses on downsizing the Maoists by not allowing them to form the next government in Nepal”, the Jan Aastha Weekly wrote this Wednesday 11 June, 08.
Thus, say analysts, India’s ambassador meeting Kamal Thapa who is visibly leading the defeated forces-read the royalists, in Nepal is some how or the other linked to the RSS Proposal of tapping the ex-royalists and the Hindu fundamentalists of Nepal to destabilize the county further.

Be that as it may, the Road Map Weekly making further revelation writes: “after a secret meet between the Maoists’ leadership with India’s former ambassador to Nepal, Mr. Krishna V. Rajan ( concurrently deputy to India’s national security advisor M.K. Narayanan) whose fresh Nepal trip was kept a guarded secret-the Maoists had shown some flexibility-which they did by giving up their demand for the president, awarding for free the Nagarjun Palace for ex-King Gyanendra and Narayanhiti Palace for his Mother Ratna.

On the other hand, reports are also that India’s communist leaders led by none other than Sita Ram Yechuri are trying to pressurize the Indian government to not create hurdles for Comrade Pushpa Kamal Dahal to be elevated as the first president of the republic of Nepal.

This does mean that the Indian tentacles have already spread in Nepal. The Indian mission is to “destabilize” Nepal ad infinitum. It also becomes clear that the Indian establishment will create Himalayan problems when the Maoists come to assume power in Singh Durbar.
