BRB takes U turn, says Delhi trip not for seeking Indian intrusion

Hardly have a few days passed while addressing a program in New Delhi, the Maoist leader Baburam invited India to intervene in the internal matters of Nepal, granting an interview with a local newspaper, he in a surprising manner claims that he had not landed in New Delhi to seek India’s support.

U turn.

Observers in Nepal firmly believe that India needs no invitation to intervene, what Baburam has done is he has forwarded an open invitation to the goliath in the south to ruin his own country.

Is he from Gorkha or Hariyana?

How history will judge Baburam’s power ambition that is inciting him to take to the dangerous course he is taking is not going very difficult to predict?

Or is it his excessive inferiority complex that guides his mind and soul?

“I have not come here to seek India's support. I wanted to acquaint myself with the political changes taking place in India and apprise the Indian leadership of the developments there. Framing of the constitution and success of the peace process is also in India's interest. If the peace process fails, it will go against India's interest. I wanted to update the leadership here on what is happening in Nepal, to seek the views of our friends in India,” he said in an interview with the economic times.

Seeking suggestions from the declared hostile country.

Baburam on Monday addressing a program had urged his mentors seated in New Delhi to use official and unofficial channels to help Nepal complete the peace process.

He also claimed that Nepal could turn into a vortex of conflict it India leaves Nepal unattended.

He had also claimed that what happens in Nepal will have some impact in India.

Quiet Dinner diplomacy: SB Thapa takes dramatic initiatives in Nepal

The Rastriya Prajatantra Party former Chairman Surya Bahadur Thapa organized a “quiet” dinner meeting of Nepal’s republican leaders at his private residence in Maligaun, Kathmandu, Friday.

The meeting was organized on the occasion of Fagu Festival and the invitees were all except Kamal Thapa.

Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum-Nepal chairman Upendra Yadav informed that media that no serious discussion between the leaders took place during the meeting. However, at the onset while welcoming the leaders Thapa stressing the need to resolve disputes in consensus warned the attending leaders that the nation was on the verge of a failure.

Thapa also advised the leaders to shun their petty personal and party interests in order to resolve the crisis faced by the nation.

Prime Minister Sushil, Pushpa Kamal, KP Oli, Sher Bahadur, Upendra Yadav, Mahanta Thakur and Bijaya Gacchedhar were invited at the dinner among others.

India has become sensitive then, it could be guessed now. The dinner comes close on the heels of BRB extending open invitation to India for screwing Nepal.

Thapa may land Delhi any time soon, is is talked in Kathmandu political circuit. 

Dahal frustration begins, says ruling parties not serious

Pushpa Kamal Dahal of Unified Maoists complains that there clearly lacks seriousness among the leaders of ruling parties as regards talks with the opposition parties to resolve disputes on issues of constitution drafting.

Wasting time but pocketing monthly salaries!

“We are holding talks with the leaders of ruling parties since Saturday,” he said and continued, “But, I do not see seriousness to resolve disputes among the ruling party leaders.”

He made the remark while addressing a program held at the party headquarters in Koteshwar, Sunday.

“They invited us for talks. We went there. None of the UML leaders who are busy raising constitutional issues were present at the meeting,” he said while complaining about the absence of UML Chairman KP Oli in the Saturday meeting held at the Prime Minister’s residence.

Chairman Pushpa Kamal while suspecting ill motive behind the invitation for talks by the ruling parties said, “Perhaps they wanted the protest undertaken by the opposition to become feeble.”

“They will have to bear with serious consequences if they continue with the ill motive,” he threatened.

He also informed that Sunday morning Prime Minister Sushil Koirala had talked to him over telephone again to urge the opposition for talks.

“We will wait until Monday,” he said and continued, “If nothing positive comes out from the ruling parties we will declare our new protest programs on Tuesday.”
