Kathmandu, N. P. Upadhyaya: To the utter dismay of the Indian establishment both in Delhi and the RAW Nepal-command-in-Lainchour, Kathmandu, the Nepali Congress has decided to vote favoring the Constitution amendment bill as sought by incumbent Prime Minister Oli.
A severe jolt to expansionist India under Prime Minister Modi.
The Nepali Congress party’s Central Working Committee meeting held this afternoon, Saturday, has decided to instruct the parliamentary party to vote in favor of the amendment bill to change the coat of arms in accordance with the new map which includes Limpiyadhura, Kalapani and Lipu Lekh, confirms the NC party’s spokesperson Bishwo Prakash Sharma, reports the people’s review online portal.
“With the main opposition party deciding to support the bill, the Oli government has enough members for the proposal to get approved by the Nepali parliament”, writes the Kathmandu Post.
A set of the Indian academicians and diplomats take the Nepali Congress party as the “asset” of the Indian regime born 1947.
Is the Nepali Congress then the India card in Nepal? Better this question be answered by the NC itself for the sake of assuring the Nepali population and also to rebuke the India’s blunt allegation very freshly made by the Delhi residing India’s informed citizenry and diplomats.
The NC must rebuke the blame if it is not an Indian asset.
But what makes these Indian nationals to conclude that the NC was their precious asset in Nepal?
Similarly, the present communist government, according to the men close to the RAW machinery, is a proxy of China and that China has brought the two Communist parties together.
Interestingly, the Indian Army Chief MM Naravne hurled this wild allegation that Nepal was a China’s proxy.
Narvane made these near to foolish comment and made wild observations on May 15/2020 and in doing so the Army man from India forgot that he had almost declared a war on Nepal.
The Indian COAS Naravne has so far not apologized with the people and the government of Nepal for his scandalous utterances.
Strong rumors say that the Indian soldier was told to make such a comment as instructed by his Prime Minister-Modi.
Very unfortunately, the Indian Army chief is the honorary Army chief of the Nepal Army as well. So sad it is. But the continuing tradition that it has been since the early 1960s.
High placed sources in Nepal opine that Mr. Naravne be not awarded henceforth with the customary honorary position of the Chief of the Nepal Army.
He simply doesn’t merit the high order from Nepal.
Some even suggest the Nepal government to break this Nepali tradition as the Indian Army Generals poke their nose in Nepal’s internal affairs and work to damage Nepal’s ties with friendly countries other than India.
Recall the event when General Deepak Kapur meddled in Nepal’s exclusive case when Nepal Army Chief Rujkmangad Katwal was sacked by Prime Minister Prachanda-the New Delhi sponsored Maoists of Nepal.
The Indian Army chief Kapur directly made a phone call to Nepal President to reinstate the sacked Nepal Army Chief.
So as per the Indian academicians and half-baked diplomats, if the NC is the India Card then the Communists were the China card.
The ‘strategic balance’ has thus been maintained in Nepal internally.
Knowledgeable sources in Nepal make a fun of such wild allegations such as the one/or two mentioned above.
Prior to 1947, the present day India was governed by the British India Company and yet prior to the British, the Great Mughals who came from Fargana/Bukhara in Central Asia ruled for several hundred years.
So for numerous centuries, the Indian nationals, as stated earlier, have had to compromise with slavery. This must have been a painful experience for them. Our sympathy naturally goes to the former destitute.
The so called “Indian assets” in Nepal that is the Nepali Congress has assured the Communist government in Nepal that they would vote in favor of the constitutional amendment as desired by Prime Minister Oli’s administration in order to provide the needed “constitutional guarantee” to the new political map released by the Nepali State on May 20/20202.
This makes the PM Oli’s set up more confident now.
This Nepali map is the original map of this “sovereign” nation which has been published as a befitting response to the bogus map issued by India on 2nd November 2019 which incorporated Nepali landmass in Western Nepal “unilaterally”.
The Indian map was published after forcefully changing the status of Kashmir August 5/2019.
And the ever erratic and expansionist India did yet another blunder by “unilaterally” constructing a link road to Tibet, China that gulps the Nepali land which was inaugurated by one Indian Minister on 8th May/2020. It was this event that alerted Nepal.
The bilateral dialogues have not yet been initiated and the reports are that India is trying to sort out the issue with Nepal using its assets in Nepal effectively. The under table deal trick is the best option for the Indian administration to seduce and buy loyalty from the Nepali Parliamentarians, it is widely believed.
Hopefully, the Indian Ambassador B. M Quatra is quite busy in “seducing the presumed Indian assets in Nepal, strong rumors say.
The general impression in Nepal had been that Sher Bahadur Deuba who heads the Nepali Congress party would prefer not to annoy the Indian establishment by supporting the Oli government.
However, this time, the Nepali Congress appeared bit relaxed and guided by “nationalist impulse” and thus went against its declared “India tilt”.
The nationalist section among the Nepali Congress appear to have put excessive pressure on the party’s high command.
In a way, the Nepali Congress has been able to dilute the Indian allegation that it is a political entity which is the blind supporter of the Indian establishment since the very first days of its inception.
The Nepali Congress, unfortunately, took its birth in India. This is the NC’s birth history. The Nepali Communists followed the suit.
And the Nepali Congress now has decided to vote in favor of the new political map through the impending constitutional amendment despite the Indian Ambassador’s Himalayan efforts to corrupt some of the high flying NC leaders. Good news for Nepal.
The envoy tried his best but has failed this time. Sorry Ambassador!!!
Those close to the sleeves/or arm pits of the Indian embassy were known India hands in Nepal including one lady who is born Indian but married to a Nepali national.
Though this online portal is not sure, however, our professional colleagues claim that those who entered the Indian embassy in Kathmandu in these days (or had been summoned by His Majesty Ambassador Binaya Mohan Quatra for tasting the India’s sweet but dark Chocolates) were Bimlendra Nidhi, Amresh Kumar Singh from the Nepali Congress.
One more name is there who reportedly had entered the Indian Embassy compound voluntarily is Ms. Sarita Giri.
Ms. Giri is born Indian but married to a Nepali national. This is meaningful in that she is the one who has never played double. She believes in what she is. Her allegiance to the Indian Union is appreciated. But her love for India must not come in the way of Nepal’s national interests.
Rumors are that this lady once even made great efforts for changing the name of this ancient country.
Now that the NC is in favor to provide the constitutional guarantee to the new Nepali map, however, insiders of the NC party also say that the party supported the Oli government this time with some political riders attached.
Knowledgeable sources say that the NC riders are that the Oli government should initiate dialogues with the Indian government on a friendly manner to seek the solutions to the border imbroglio.
This is not a rider but a friendly suggestions to the Oli administration, claim political analysts in Kathmandu.
In fact, PM Oli also believes in holding dialogues with India.
What remains yet to be seen is how the Madhes based Nepali parties extend their support to the Oli establishment and on what conditions?
The Madhesh based parties are generally believed to have “intense love and honor” for India and the establishment there.
The logic is they have ROTI, BETI ties with country across the border.
To conclude: A pretty annoyed India that has faced diplomatic debacle may think of imposing yet another inhumane economic blockade? The possibilities of a blockade can’t be ruled out as per the experienced experience of the Nepali people. But under what pretext? The inhumane Indian blockade is most welcome if India so desires. That’s all.
