Five-questions

Nepal Maoist-Madhesi four point pact to disarm Maoists militias : Prachanda responded by saying that Dr. Bhattarai may have taken this decision. However, Bhattarai had already told us that he had not. Mohan Baidya requested Chairman to put a brake on the decision.


A terrorist attack in India, media accuse Pakistan and claims design planned in Nepal : For example, India wants to perpetuate its hegemony in Nepal and China wants to ensure that no any anti-China activities will ever rise from the Nepali soil. For this purpose, they are trying their best to use Nepali media in their favor. They have sent their paid agents in big media houses of Nepal to work for them. They want to please media persons by offering scholarship and visit package and at times even by offering lavish dinner.


Nepali Congress has fallen in the trap of Maoists : Don’t take the five point agreement so seriously. It is just a gentleman agreement. This is what is in the rumor. Nothing exists in black and white.


Nepal not to talk on maps, extradition treaty with India : Both China and India are our close neighbors. Their acquired economic prosperity in the recent years have drawn the attention of the entire world community. We are not in a position now to initiate talks on the issue of strip maps and extradition treaty with the Indian side. On matters of formulating a “national security policy”, we will not act until we hold enough discussions with the political parties and arrive at a national consensus.


Jayant’s role is very challenging in Nepal’s transitional phase : But, I suggest that it will be very welcome step if he can focus on the cooperation from India on the basis of the interest of the people rather than listening to the closed political and power elite in Kathmandu. His role is very much important and challenging in the current transitional phase of Nepal.


Nepal: Changing government causes continued domestic instability : When we talk of Nepal’s national security policy, I think that we do not possess as such any solid security guiding principle for the country. Simply because, neither we are clear about our domestic nor external security policy worth the name.


Nepal Varsity to launch courses on International Relations and Diplomacy : The Tribhuwan University for a long time operated without a functioning academic calendar because it is partly due to three major political parties which took advantage in appointing their men in various positions at the cost of merit principle.


India always fears Nepal may go closer to China: Verma : Erratic Sood disclosed that he had coerced Dr. Yadav. Later, this defunct Sood even forced Prachanda not to attend the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. However, Prachanda rejected his suggestions outright.


Nepali culture demands revival of Monarchy : Instead of according top priority to peace and constitution draft, they have concentrated their entire efforts in power game.
