Can deal with Pak & B’desh but not last Hindu kingdom?

CPM wants China’s backdoor rule in Nepal CPM wants to destabilize Nepal through Maoist. If we can deal with Mynar ruled by army, undemocratic China and terrorists’ heaven Pakistan-Banglasesh, then why not dealing with Nepal? India should not shower trouble water on Nepal to play diplomatic game with China and Pakistan. Wen's extremely cordial visit to India left little room for doubt that Beijing intended to interfere in Nepal, and this has given India a chance to deal with the king on its terms. If India is not in on the deal, it could seriously affect India's own interests.. It would also mean that India would be caught with its head in the sand. Jehadis and ISI are fishing in the troubled waters of Indo-Nepalese ties. UPA’s policy for external and internal security moves according to anti-Hindu lobby, left and rainy frogs jholawala human activists brigade to overlook the security of our nation.
‘Asia Times’ said: India has been playing it cautiously and despite its almost overwhelming influence over the "last Hindu kingdom in the world", has preferred to coordinate action designed to get the regime in Kathmandu to speedily restore democracy with the help of Britain and the United States - Nepal's major donor countries.

Pakistani Presidents such as Ghulam Mohammad, Ayub Khan, Zia-ul-Haque and Pervez Musharraf captured power by undemocratic means. The Government of India has always accepted them as lawful Presidents. Pandit Nehru, on an invitation from the military dictator, Ayub Khan, statyed for four days in Pakistan in 1960 to sign the Indus Waters Treaty. Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1966 shared the negotiation table with Khan at Tashkent though he dead there. Death of S.C.Bose and Lal Bahadur Shastri is still in suspense.
India must accept Nepal with full honor. After all, it is only the Himalayan India-locked mountain Kingdom and Bhutan among all our neighbors that are not hostile towards India as Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is perhaps human nature to condemn the sins of a weak, while remaining mute when the same is committed by a strong. H.S.Surjeet and Bardhan accepted Musharraf’s invitation to tea on their recent visit to Pakistan. Which
offered military aid to Nepal. China became friendlier.

CPM wants to destabilize Nepal through Maoist for China’s backdoor rule
Political parties in Nepal were unable to end a raging Maoist insurgency that has claimed more than 11,000 ten killings a day lives since 1996. Maoists shows no reluctance in backing down from their battle to set up a kingless communist republic in the desperately poor country. Key ally of UPA, the CPM said that any planned resumption of arms sales would be “wrong and unjustified,”

Pakistan offered military aid to Nepal. Chinese foreign minister visited Nepal.
Denial of arms to Nepal carries with it the danger of allowing the Maoists to overrun the country and there are signs that Pakistan or China would step in to provide Kathmandu weapons, if India failed to do so.
India’s apprehensions over the growing influence of Nepal’s Maoists notwithstanding, the Left on Feb. 5 afternoon after a meeting with other Left and socialist parties on the Nepal coup made it clear that it is willing to express solidarity even with the armed rebels if they fight for restoration of democracy in their country. The Congress was left out of that day meeting, which was attended by the CPI, Forward Bloc, RSP, Nationalist Congress Party, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Janata Dal (Secular), Samajwadi Party and the CPI (ML).

Nepal’s Maoist leader Prachanda Admitting mistakes in the past when the Maoist targeted political activists, he said: “From now onwards, we will assist the political parties in their activities, not disrupt it. We guarantee their safety and security in the districts to carry out their activities.” The rebels had issued just such a call to the parties after King Gyanendra seized power on February 1 but none of the parties have reciprocated, citing past anti-party violence by the rebels.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, according to Left sources, talked of the problems being posed by the Maoists in the Himalayan kingdom and how an unsettled Nepal was geopolitically a serious problem for India as well. The M, however, told the Left leaders that he had not really made a commitment for immediate help.

It is learnt that Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee put it quite bluntly to Left leaders that there was little option available with the Government. He apparently said the UPA Government did not want to see a situation where other interested parties (in an oblique reference to both China and Pakistan) were pledging arms and other logistical or military help to Nepal.

Despite differences which might be with the king, the threat posed by the Maoists in Nepal was a much more serious concern for Delhi. Plans to resume arms supplies flow from this assessment. King Gyanendra said: “We have already called for municipal elections; emergency in due course.”
