Setting Agenda For Prime Minister’s India Visit
By KTM Metro Reporter
October 18, 2011: one of the items on his agenda at the meeting with the Indian Prime Minister would be seeking the support of India for completing the peace process and a new constitution, when Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai visits India starting off on October 20, 2011 according to the news posted on the Thehindu.com. The news on Thehindu.com quotes anonymous official, “Our experience since the 12-point agreement has been that unless India nudges and puts pressure on other parties, especially the Nepali Congress, they are reluctant to co-operate. The PM will request India to use its influence with all forces so that the peace process can move forward.”
Prime Minister Bhattarai has invited the NC leaders join him in the India visit but the Parliamentary Party Leader of NC Ram Chandra Poudel has flatly rejected saying the prime minister ignored his party while visiting New York for attending the UN General Assembly; so he is refusing to join the prime minister in his India visit.
It is really childish to reject the opportunity of being on the entourage of the people accompanying the prime minister to visit India and cooperating with the government on dealing with India. No matter what sorts of differences they have at home but the politicians need to show solidarity with each other when dealing with other nations. This is the standard practice of other democratic countries but the Nepalese politicians claiming to be democratic often behave as dictators disregarding the interest of the nations in other words of the people.
Speaking at an interaction event yesterday, another so-called NC leader Dr. Ram Sharan Mahat has said that that Prime Minister Bhattarai is visiting India to improve the relations between his party UCPN-Maoist and India according to the news in the state-run newspaper ‘gorkhapatra’ of today. This is another childish comment of the so-called NC leader Dr. Mahat.
Prime Minister Bhattarai had called an all-party meeting at the state secretariat in Kathmandu to discuss the items to be included on the agenda of his India visit. Most of the leaders have suggested the prime minister to make a deal on the national interest and not to make any deal on the subject matters that would have a long-term adverse impact on Nepal.
