Hello Balist
Hello Hello BALI'st the die hard indi dalala what is comment on the greatest SECULAR country in the world after reading the follwing warning of BJP to the heroic Nepalese people :
Quote :
The BJP threat
Obviously, his visit to Beijing and the statement he made has not endeared him to New Delhi, which was manifested in the 'note of warning' Prachanda received from the fundamentalist opposition BJP in India.
On his return home Wednesday he received a message from BJP, the main Indian opposition party poised for power next year. The BJP message was very clear; it has proposed to the Maoist government of Nepal to accept Hindi as the second national language and warned of 'serious consequences' if it is not complied with. The Nepal News also quoted BJP as saying: "If the new government of Nepal takes any policy against Hindi, Hindu religion and India, it would affect the lives of 7 million Nepalese residing in India." Unquote.
Oh ! what peaceful and secular country the bloody india is and like the BAL all should worship indi isn't it ????

"China visit has proved crucial for the construction of new Nepal," Prime Minister Prachanda was quoted as saying after the visit by the media. He returned home Wednesday with an initial gift of US$300,000 from China for the flood affected people and assurance of further cooperation and assistance in all sectors of the economy including trade and investment and security of Nepal's territorial integrity.
During his brief stay in China, he was given a warm and red carpet reception in Beijing and had an hour-long meeting with the Chinese President. He also
had talks with other key leaders.
The BJP threat
Obviously, his visit to Beijing and the statement he made has not endeared him to New Delhi, which was manifested in the 'note of warning' Prachanda received from the fundamentalist opposition BJP in India.
On his return home Wednesday he received a message from BJP, the main Indian opposition party poised for power next year. The BJP message was very clear; it has proposed to the Maoist government of Nepal to accept Hindi as the second national language and warned of 'serious consequences' if it is not complied with. The Nepal News also quoted BJP as saying: "If the new government of Nepal takes any policy against Hindi, Hindu religion and India, it would affect the lives of 7 million Nepalese residing in India."
Prachanda, however, tried to assuage the anger of New Delhi from the very beginning. He said he went to Beijing to attend the concluding ceremony of the Olympic games. He told a press conference that his first and formal official visit will obviously be India. But his political foes at home, especially Nepali Congress, accused him of breaking the unwritten rules of visiting India by the newly elected prime minister.
Soon after winning the April election Prachanda had pledged that his government would maintain equidistance from both the giant neighbours, India on the south and China on the north.
Rise of nationalism
One thing is clear. The victory of Maoist in Nepal election appears to have given a boost to the younger generation and raised a sense of nationalism. Student fronts of all the major political parties including that of Nepali Congress had burst in anger when Premananda Jha, the newly elected Vice-President, took the oath of office in Hindi in late July.
This followed a week-long protest by people who demonstrated and enforced strikes in different parts of the country demanding Jha's resignation. Politicians also condemned him for taking oath in Hindi, wearing dhuti and kurta ignoring Nepali language and traditional Nepali dress. Jha, an MJF leader, came from Terai area bordering India. Meanwhile, a writ petition was filed against him at the High Court asking him to take fresh oath in Nepali language.
The China connection
It may be recalled that the then Chinese President Ziang Jemin had visited Nepal just a week before the June 1, 2001 killing of King Birendra of Nepal in the palace massacre. The King and the President had agreed on the construction of five major roads in border areas to establish direct road link between the two countries, including one to be build immediately at Rashuna border that would link Nepal with Lasha highway. This was not liked by New Delhi.
Incidentally, in late 1980s, the construction of Kathmandu-Lasha road had enraged India so much that it had closed all the Indo-Nepal border check-posts completely halting the supply of imported goods and commodities including fuel oil. Western commentators had described it as 'undeclared war against the landlocked Nepal'. The blockade was ultimately withdrawn on New Delhi's terms.
Meanwhile, the victory of the Maoists in Nepal has seemingly encouraged Maoists in India who are reportedly gaining grounds in southern and eastern states raising concerns of India's ruling coalition partners.
The Maoist victory in Nepal in the election belied the prediction of the media. It took long four months for the party to form the government after entering into an alliance with UML (Marxist-Leninist) and MJF who are holding divergence views. Although both are communists, Maoist and UML hold different views. MJF has no political ideology, simply based on regional sentiment of the Mahdesi Terai region bordering India. Mahdesis had strongly opposed the Maoists in the past.
According to Keshab Poudel, a political analyst of Kathmandu, the 3-party coalition led by the Maoists looks quite fragile. The future of Prachanda's coalition will depend largely on how the parties balance their interests while trying to promote political stability.
Prachanda and his party colleagues, however, are hopeful. He commanded guerrilla war for a decade. A dreaded Marxist revolutionary Prachanda made history by becoming the first elected Prime Minister of Republic of Nepal. He is confident of balancing relationship with China and India and steer the country to progress.
