Kathmandu, June 4 : Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-M) leader Ram Bahadur Thapa has termed the latest derision by India's main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as purely "anti-Nepalese"
Kathmandu, June 3 : Indian ambassador to Nepal Rakesh Sood on Tuesday called on Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ and discussed issues related to the new government’s formation.
During the meeting held at Prachanda’s residence, the Maoist Chairman said that his party will lead the next government and expressed confidence that the Indian government will continue to extend support.
In turn, Sood assured Prachanda that India will assist the Maoist-led government.
New Delhi, June 2 : Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Foreign Minister, Jaswant Singh, today said that coming of Nepal’s Maoist to power in the country is not in India’s interest.
Nepal’s Maoist emerged as a single largest party in the election in April aimed at cementing a peace deal that ended a decade-long civil war. The newly elected Constituent Assembly dominated by Maoists abolished 239-year old Hindu monarchy in the Himalayan Kingdom.
Addressing a news conference at the conclusion of the party’s two-day National Executive, Singh said the Maoists have not fulfilled the parameters set by United Nation observers.
