Political party leaders surprisingly silent on Indian govt. operative’s claim

By Bhola B Rana

Kathmandu, 21 Sept: Days after a claim of an essentially government of India operative in the guise of an Indian academician leaders of Nepal’s political parties are no longer useful for India, leaders Nepal’s of political parties have maintained stony silence.
The claim is insulting but correct confirming the leaders of political parties were pawns of the New Delhi for which they are now no longer useful.
India is funding new pawns, the writer claims..
SD Muni, now associated with a Singapore University and a former professor at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi said this in an interview with the The Kathmandu Post 14 September immediately on his latest Nepal visit when he held discussions with all the major political players, including Girija Prasad Koirala, Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal and Maoist Chairman Prachanda.
“India,…,has been playing a chessboard politics—placing people in different positions who can serve its interests.
“This chessboard politics is no longer relevant in Nepal.
“I think India should reorient its policy to the larger people’s interest.
‘Of you do this, then you will have a Nepal that is stable and progressing, and in the long run would cater to the Indian interests,” he said.
He didn’t identify new Indian partners in Nepal. Madeshis?
“.. the Ministry of External Affairs has a Nepal policy. The Defence Ministry has a Nepal policy. The parties in which those old princely houses have good representation—the Congress, the BJP—have a Nepal policy.
‘The actual policy that emerges is a synthesis depending on who is strong at what point in time. In addition, a major concern overriding all this is India’s security concern,” he said.
Muni had direct access to Nepal’s rulers after 1990 and an Indian government operative in the guide of a Nepal expert.
He was giving ‘expert’ opinion to foreign media who quoted incorrectly as an independent Nepal expert.
Like the Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow and the East-Center in Hawaii, USA, universities extension of the Soviet and Washington governments, Nehru University is in the same category.
Muni had direct access to Girija’s bedroom when he feigned sickness to impose a New Delhi republican agenda.
One senior Congress leader told your blogger Girija feigned illness to avoid discussion and opposition in the Congress.
Girija is normal outside government and moves about freely with very little health problem.
