‘No Modi in Nepal’

‘No Modi in Nepal’

A sizeable chunk of Nepali population in an unprecedented manner this time have converged to a “national agenda” that summarily suggests all and sundry, read the Nepali population together with the Nepal government as well, not to welcome the one in its sacred land who mercilessly imposed economic blockade on Nepal for above six months and has been terrorizing this nation through various heinous acts such as land encroachment that must not have been committed if she were a civilized country born 1947.
India is committing blunders in series since its birth as a Republic-1947.
Last economic blockade, 2015, has brought the entire Nepali population together in a single platform and the one point agenda has been to criticize PM Modi which is, mixed with hatred of the highest order.
It must not have happened, however, it has happened.
Modi is taken as a bad boy in the entire South Asian region. Slowly but very steadily India is losing its long time trusted and tested friends such as Bangladesh, Nepal and very freshly Sri Lanka and the Maldives.
Nepal has, by the way, distanced itself far from the Indian approach that the latter enjoyed in the past.
Thanks Pakistan, India’s declared rival and vice versa that its presence in South Asia has been like an effective political as well as nuclear deterrent to the Indian highhandedness.
Time permitting, Pakistan through the CPEC project shall be taken as a game changer much to the discomfort of the Indian establishment. It is a matter of a few years.
Yes, the majority of the nationalist people here in Nepal wish that the Indian PM be not allowed to land in Nepal unless he apologizes for all the crimes he committed against this country since he came to power.
If the fiery expressions that are being observed in the social media, FB and Twitter, be taken as a measuring standard then what could easily be said that the Indian PM Modi is perhaps the most unwanted and hated man on earth or at least a political personality in the neighborhood in the eyes of the Nepali population.
This much is visible frankly speaking with malice to none.
Yet some perverted Indo-pendent brains must have felt the pain reading and watching the Social media trend that is all against and about the Modi’s proposed “unwanted” trip to Nepal.
Mohan Bikram Singh, the General Secretary of the MASAL communist party issuing a press statement in no uncertain terms says that “Modi must not be invited or allowed to land in Nepal since he is the one Indian political persona who is known for his continued unfriendly attitude and behavior towards Nepal”.
“To welcome PM Modi in Nepal tantamount to insulting our own uninterrupted sovereignty and thus the government is urged not to invite him”, says the statement issued by Mohan Bikram Singh just the other day.
Likewise yet another communist veteran, Chandra Prakash Gajurel, one of the prominent leader of the Splinter Maoists party led by revolutionary leader Mohan Baidya has said that PM Modi is about to land in Nepal for the foundation laying ceremony of the Arun-3 which must not be allowed to be accomplished by the visiting Indian national and for that the Nepali people having self-respect and integrity must come forward to safeguard the national interest of Nepal.
According to Mr. Gajurel, Nepal PM Oli has chosen a wrong path which bodes ill for the nation, so writes Kathmandu Today.
Independent observers here now claim that Nepal PM Oli by inviting Indian PM Modi for Nepal trip has tentatively committed a blunder that he will have to pay in some way or the other time permitting.
“PM Oli may have diplomatic compulsions but yet he could have delayed Indian PM Modi’s visit for some six months or so”, say some others who understand the diplomatic complexities of a nation like Nepal sandwiched in between two Asian giants.
