Kamal Thapa, the Chairman of the RPP-Nepal who is generally taken as a conspiratorial brain of the highest order in the country’s political spectrum has opined that Nepal deserved the right to seek advantages from the Chinese gains in the larger interests of the people and the country.

He in the meantime also advises the Indian establishment not to get panicked with the increasing Nepal-China hobnob over these years and clearly states that India must not suspect Nepal’s ties with the Northern neighbor.

“India has no reasons as such to suspect Nepal-China political credentials”, says Kamal Thapa.
India is in a state of coma, reportedly, observing the Chinese mega assurances made to Nepal during PM OLi’s Beijing visit. Oli has yet not returned home.
Yet the regime in the South has been publicizing through its own posted machinery in Kathmandu that Nepal will soon be under Chinese debt trap to which it shall be not.
Even if it is a loan from China then Nepal shall pay in a specified period as agreed upon by the two neighboring States.
Thapa made these candid observations, perhaps not suiting to the taste of the Indian regime, while talking to the BBC Nepali service on June 20, 2018.
To recall, Kamal Thapa served the country in the recent past as Foreign Minister and had traveled both India and China at time of the most inhumane economic blockade imposed by India on Nepal.
Mr. Thapa had tried his best to convince the Indian side about the real picture of the new Constitution of Nepal, however, Delhi was adamant in blaming Nepal that the just promulgated national charter was discriminatory in nature and several clauses contained in the new Charter were not inclusive in nature as had been demanded by the Nepal’s Madhesi nationals.
PM Modi is the one among the crowd, rest assured, who damaged the age old Nepal-India ties.
New Delhi got exposed this time very badly for which the regime is repenting now for obvious reasons.

To put it softly, thus Delhi willingly pushed Nepal towards North. Poor Nepal had no option other than to seek support from China.
Thapa as Foreign Minister made then some trips to Beijing to let the Chinese authorities understand the pains being suffered by the Nepali population due to the inhumane Indian blockade and appealed the host country, China, to provide some support to Nepal as regards the supply of petroleum products and China had complied as a token of friendship.
Since then China is being taken as a reliable partner of Nepal. Perhaps Professor SD Muni understands this Indian weakness and thus suggests his country point blank that “India must complete all the projects that she has assured Nepal but yet remains yet in limbo”.
Professor Muni said this while talking to Rajya Saabha TV Channel last evening wherein one Nepali media man too had been interviewed.
“India ever remains vigilant and tensed as and when Nepal makes any gesture to woo China and in turn the Northern neighbor complies”, said Thapa while talking to the BBC world service.
“Seeking support from China for our national interests is only but natural and to a greater extent logical too wherein India has nothing to feel as to have been cornered by Nepal”, so said Thapa.
According to Mr. Kamal Thapa, it is this Indian regime which has imposed three blockades (in fact altogether four as of now imposed at different intervals of time) on Nepal which is why Nepal has been encouraged or rather say forced to seek alternative trade routes and transit facilities from China in the North.
The fourth blockade was in the year 2015-just after the quake that had rocked Nepal in a very frightening manner.
Said Parsuram Kafley last evening while talking to the TV Channel that interviewed SD Muni that “all that Nepal has been doing with China this time around is to lessen its over dependency on India”.

“It is just trade diversification and for seeking transit facilities from China which is due for Nepal as a land locked country”, opined matured Nepali journalist.
Hitting nail right on the head.

Mr. Kafley is a senior diplomatic correspondent of the Naya Patrika daily. He very freshly has visited China, to recall.
Talking to the same Indian TV channel, former Ambassador Mr. Katzu said that “Nepal is free to broaden its ties with China or for that matter any other countries of the world as a sovereign nation, however, India must sound Nepal that the latter must not cross the RED line that harm Indian security interests in the course of expanding its ties with China”.
“A smart Nepal now may understand the Indian concerns”, said Ambassador Katzu.
Says Thapa that he remains askance as to why the agreements made in the past with the Chinese regime have not yet been brought into action? Thapa’s questions are valid to some extent. .
“I suspect the very motive of the present day government”, Thapa points.
While Kamal Thapa has words of praise for the Prime Minister Oli who, according to Mr. Thapa, prefers to extract benefits for Nepal from the gains of the immediate neighbors in the South and the North but also possesses some reservations as against the implementation part of the agreements that have already been agreed upon by Nepal with the two immediate neighbors.
Having said all these, Thapa yet reminds PM Oli not to irritate the Indian establishment for some unknown reasons.
This perhaps explains Thapa’s close proximity with the Indian establishment but yet his words can’t be dismissed out rightly as has been made regarding India which remains valid for a variety of political reasons, geopolitics included.
“Nepal must have cordial ties with India”, Thapa continues.
Prior to winding up his interview with the BBC, June 20, 2018, Thapa yet dared to speak what he should have avoided if he wanted to remain in the good book of the Indian establishment.
Look what he said, “Why PM Oli gave positive nod to the event of felicitating Indian PM Modi twice while being in Nepal for it were the same Indian PM Modi who put Nepal into troubles several times in the past and did not demand apology from the Nepali population for having imposed blockades and also on some issues pertaining to the newly promulgated constitution.
“I am puzzled in observing this unusual love and honor of Nepal PM Oli for the Indian Prime Minister Modi”, sums up Thapa his interview with the BBC.
But China is yet to correct the Lipulek blunder. Isn’t it? Perhaps yes. When China will correct the blunder? Let’s keep our fingers crossed till then.
