Rishi Dhamala the RAW agent who supplies all the informations to the Indian embassy as we have always been saying writes for another RAW propaganda machine as who have been saying.
And its no surprise for us as we have been constantly watching the movements of the Mr Dhamala, who is most of the time in APCA house and reports to Indian embassy.
Like it is said the cat is out of the bag, Mr Dhamala and the RAW propaganda machine and their propaganda against Nepal is once more exposed.
Shut down the RAW propaganda machine and punish Mr Dhamala and his accomplises otherwise they will be finished like Lamil Tigers of Sri Lanka. Lamil Tigers was also RAW creation to create instability in Sri Lanka. Hail Sri Lanka for its war against all such anti-national elements. Nepal government also should crush all those who are creating disturbances and instability in Nepal in the name of one Madhesh one Pradesh.
The unfortunate politics of convenience Can’t dignified method replace it?
Rishi Dhamala
(the Jocker who cannot even write in Nepali writes in English. Not surprising as it might be written by RAW agent from Indian embassy and published in teh name of Mr Dhamala in their own propaganda machine. Down with RAW, down with Indian imperialism and expansionism)
Nepal has attracted world attention following the downfall of the Maoist led government. There is a hurried bid to give it a political color. There are some political parties and people who say that it is because of Indian interference. But is it an indicator of interests in Nepal or interference? There has to be debate and understanding of the issue rather than pass judgement on your own.
The world community is time and again referring to the need to come up with timely drafting of the constitution before the peace process is taken to its logical conclusion and the nation embarks on rapid economic growth path. With this as backdrop, it would be misleading to allege the Indian side of interference.
The world community has always been a well wisher in the democratization movement of Nepal. They have been helping the cause of Nepalese democratization process while also backing unity among political parties by stressing on reconciliation. Advice and suggestions from foreign friends come in useful in such circumstances. They cannot be called interferences. The nation is currently on the verge of crafting a new government. This is leading to talks between parties at various levels.
The main issue is about sustainable peace. What will happen if the nation does not produce a constitution on time? This is one question bothering foreign friends as well.
The international attention towards Nepal has shot up following the ouster of the Prachanda-led government and the video expose. The attention is understandable since foreign friends play an important role in the Nepalese peace process and economic development. The concern shown by them in this connection should not be deemed as unnatural.
The international attention is also understandable given the way the UCPN-Maoist leadership has not implemented the commitment demonstrated vis-a-vis the peace process following the ten-year long insurgency before going on to lead the government.
While the Maoists can by all means misleadingly bill the foreign interest as naked interference but that is far from the truth. What is true is the Maoists too have attracted foreign support and cooperation. In fact, UCPN-Maoist is the leading party which is getting such support from India. None other than the Maoist leader Prachanda himself has conceded that he had spent many years in India during the insurgency even as it is also true that the 12-point deal was signed in India.
One cannot also under-estimate the role played by India in the conduct of elections to the Constituent Assembly. Yes, there may be certain issues which have failed to bring about convergence of views between Nepal and India. But there are certain procedures and norms which can lead to their resolution.
Historically speaking, India has always extended cooperation and sympathy to Nepalese democratic forces and their campaigns. But, instead of reciprocal cooperation, sympathy and liberal attitude India is being looked on with suspicion, which cannot be justified on any ground. This is pathetic. No nation can race ahead with blind nationalism as the credo.
One cannot deny the Indian role in the democratization of Nepal. The records are there for anyone to delve into and get at the reality. So much so that the Indian assistance had come forth while the Maoists were leading the government. Maoists were not enjoying majority in the constituent assembly; it was just the single largest party.
The Indian side had lobbied for the Maoist led government. Much of what is involved becomes evident from the way Prime Minister Prachanda had invited special Indian envoy to Nepal. This is reflected in his subsequent interview.
Meanwhile, what cannot be accepted as political character is the act of flaying something when it is not favorable and appreciating something when the same is in favor. Prachanda undertook two visits to India while still in office. He went on to say that Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani were his guardians. But he spat venom at the Indian leaders while resigning out of office. The point here is he should have dealt with the Indian side in the diplomatic front by striking a desired deal. It does not behove of him to decry the Indian side in the open streets.
Prachanda is still the stand in prime minister. But, he is going on speaking against India forgetting the basic diplomatic norms. His failure meanwhile lies in the fact that he could not take into confidence the diplomatic mechanism existing in the South Block. He cannot compensate his setback even if he tries hard now. One does not simply need to burn the effigy of any ambassador to uphold the national interest while also boosting national pride. It is but a cheap form of protesting the moves of a diplomat.
The writer does not have any intention to boost the Indian cause. If we are to institutionalize our new born republican system we will have to strike excellent relationships with India, China, the US and the EU. Diplomatic norms do not approve of politics of convenience whereby one can flay and hail in the same breathe.

Maoist kicked India on ass,, Sood is called back
The Indian hegemony continues and continues its dictatorship in South Asia. Is India a democratic country ? No, how can it back military coup in Nepal and dictator Jigme in Bhutan and army in Burma? Indian foreign policy is directed by expansionist dogma and hangover of British slavery.
Rakesh Sood is called back because he failed. Here is one more shocking revealation from Indian columnist Sidharth Bhatia on why all the neighbors hate Indian hegemony, the RAW and its grand design in Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh and Bhutan.
Why do our neighbours hate us so much?
Sidharth Bhatia
A few years ago, on a visit to Kathmandu I was gently advised by an Indian friend living in the country for some time on some do's and don'ts. "The Nepalis are very sensitive about the way Indians behave with them. The best suggestion I can give you is to be polite at all times and not ever speak to anyone, including shopkeepers, waiters and the like in Hindi but English."
I could understand the first part -- Indians can get boorish while abroad and they may not even consider Nepal as a foreign country but as their own backyard. But why the language restriction? The answer came: "When you speak in Hindi, it appears you are treating them as someone lesser than you, as servants. That is the only reason you would assume they should know Hindi. By speaking in English you treat them as equals."
On another occasion, during a trip to Colombo, I found the locals polite as only Sri Lankans can be. But only as far as cabbies and shopkeepers were concerned. The Sri Lankan elite have nothing but resentment and contempt for their bigger neighbour. My first visit was some years after the Indian Peacekeeping Force (IPKF) had packed its bags and come back home. A retired Sri Lankan diplomat, who had served in New Delhi, regaled me with stories of India's imperialist behaviour. "Nehru wanted to annex Sri Lanka; it is part of the Akhand Bharat (larger India) design. Your high commissioners behave like viceroys and now you send your army here too. What else can this mean?" No amount of pointing out that Nehru was never a believer in Akhand Bharat and the IPKF landed in Sri Lanka on the express invitation of the then president Jayawardene convinced him. He and many of his compatriots felt India would gobble up their country one day and in any case ordered it around a bit too much.
Sri Lanka is a friendly country -- so you can imagine what they think of us in Pakistan, where the elite has always resented India and the common folk are fed a steady diet of anti-Indian propaganda through their school textbooks and state-run media. The word hegemony comes up constantly in conversation with even those who belong to the intelligentsia.
What causes this bitterness? What is about India that arouses so much hostility among its neighbours?
Some part is easy to understand. India is bigger than all of them put together. Its population and its economy tower over the others, even if its social indicators are far behind. Sri Lanka's literacy levels are ahead of India while Pakistan has managed things like primary health much better. But it is India which has been on a scorching growth path and is attracting global attention in everything from software development to Bollywood to its stock market. Not that India is without its problems -- there is internal strife in Kashmir, the north-east and in large parts of the hinterland. But a country of its size can absorb these shocks much better than a smaller one. Sri Lanka is in the news for its civil war, Nepal for rampant instability and poverty and as for Pakistan, to be known as the epicentre of global terrorism cannot be very edifying. So envy definitely plays a role in the perception of the neighbours.
But some blame must also fall on us. While the others accuse us of behaving like an imperial country, the truth is we cannot make up our mind what or who we are. A proper imperial country would be under no confusion about its role. India sometimes flexes muscle, on other occasions wants to give pyar ki jhappi (the Gujral doctrine) and aid and ends up sending out mixed signals. Our policy in Nepal is confused -- are we monarchists or pro-democracy? The Maoists are in the government, whether you like it or not. There is little doubt that their behaviour leaves a lot to be desired. But when they show pro-Chinese leanings and want to re-look at the long-standing Indo-Nepal treaty, we don't talk to them, we fly into high dudgeon. Then our nostalgia for the old days returns. Instead of talking to them, we start flirting with the former king, or give that impression. A truly imperialist power would read out the riot act; we play footsie -- Rajiv Gandhi had ordered an off-the-record blockade of the border and immediately got the Nepalis to see the advantages of being friends with India.
In Sri Lanka, the irresponsible attitude of Tamil Nadu politicians is guiding our moves. The timorousness of VP Singh, when he recalled the IPKF has remained to this day -- so sending any kind of military assistance to the Sri Lankan government is a taboo subject. But it ends up looking as if we are pro-Prabhakaran, who should be enemy number 1. Not surprisingly while we lay off, the Chinese move into Sri Lanka, right at our doorstep.
Being big and powerful also means being responsible. But a country must be guided by enlightened self-interest and command respect and some fear too. If Sri Lanka and Nepal say they will not let any foreign country interfere in their affairs, they have a perfect right to do so. India too must make it clear that Chinese fishing in the neighbourhood goes against our best interests. We want to be friends with everyone in the region, but not at any cost. The Nepali, Sri Lankan, Pakistani or Bangladeshi is not likely to start loving you for it, but will start respecting you for it.

EXPOSE INDIA: India has always interfered in Nepal
Barsha Man Pun 'Ananta', a former Deputy Commander of the Maoist People's Liberation Army (PLA), is known to be a close confidant of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal. On Friday evening, two days before the Maoists decided to remove Chief of Army Staff (CoAS) Rookmangud Katawal from office, Ananta spoke to Akhilesh Upadhyay and Aditya Adhikari about the Army Chief controversy. Contrary to Maoist actions since Friday, Ananta claimed there was no option but to gain consensus from the other political parties before removing the Army Chief from his position.
Q: What could be the solution for the current controversy regarding the removal of Chief of Army Staff (CoAS) Rookmangud Katawal?
Ananta: From a constitutional and legal point of view, the solution is easy. The government is allowed to ask for clarification, promotions and transfers of officials of the organs under its control. But because the issue regarding the Army Chief has become a controversial national issue, the only option is to form a minimum consensus with other parties in the government and in the opposition and then take action against the Army chief.
Q: What are the chief reasons that your party wishes to remove the CoAS?
Ananta: We've been saying this publicly. There are three major incidents and a number of other smaller ones, where the CoAS has disobeyed the government and gone against the principles of civilian supremacy and democratic control. The government then felt that the CoAS was displaying insubordination and asked him for clarification on his position, in which he implies that the Army does not fall under the control of the government. He says that the president is responsible for appointing him and only the president can remove him. Indirectly, he has also claimed that the government doesn't have the right to ask for clarification. This has further convinced the Maoist party of the Army chief's insubordination and it therefore decided to take action against him.
The other claims that have been made in public - that the Maoists want to consolidate their control over the Army, that they want to establish a one-party state, that they want to integrate the entire Maoist army into the national one -- these are only false rumours.
Q: If the clarification had been more conciliatory, would you have desisted from attempting to take action against him?
Ananta: Yes. There was a situation where the United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) was saying that the Army was violating its peace accord obligations. Civil society was saying the same thing. In this context, there was no option but to ask the Army chief for a clarification. We had thought that the clarification would be “soft” and that we would easily be able to find a resolution acceptable to all. But the clarification displayed such deep insubordination, and the Army chief, instead of trying to resolve the issue with the government, went to get the help of various political parties and diplomatic missions. This we felt was the incorrect thing to do.
Q: There were only a few months left before the Army chief's retirement. Why did you decide to take action against him and bring so many problems upon yourself, when it was only a few months before an easy solution could have been found?
Ananta: The row with the Army had reached a climax a few months ago during the controversy over recruitment. But the government displayed patience at that time. There were demands in the party that a clarification should be demanded of the CoAS and that action should be taken against him, but the prime minister managed to calm these voices down. He called a meeting of the five parties and said, “Recruitment has already taken place. Let's take a political decision regarding this and accept it.” The court took the same decision later. But the court also implied that the decision to recruit was wrong as it told the Army not to do so again.
So the government initially tried to reconcile differences with the Army. But these differences increased as the Army continued to disobey the government. We were forced to think of what tradition such moves by the Army would set. They have disobeyed the government on recruitment, then on the renewal of tenure of generals, then on the issue of the National Games. If this continues to be accepted by the government, the next Army Chief may also continue this tradition, and the power of the government over the Army will itself come under question. So we tried to establish the principle of the government's supremacy over the Army. There was no other objective to the government's attempt to remove the CoAS.
Q: Had your party foreseen that this attempt would bring such polarization among political parties and civil society?
Ananta: The chain of events turned out to be very different from what we had thought. We had thought that it falls under the rights of the government to remove the Army Chief. The five parties in government had also already agreed to it. The chief opposition party had also been informed through various means that the government would at any time seek clarification from the Army Chief. Various diplomatic establishments had already been informed. But there was unnecessary reaction from political parties and diplomatic missions. If the CPN-UML had been able to come up with a clear policy towards this issue, it wouldn't have become so controversial.
Q: What are your views regarding India's response?
Ananta: India has always interfered in Nepal and dictated to us what to do. It has its interests here. The general Nepali public feels this, as does the political class. Loktantra has now come to the country, and India had been taking a softer position than before. But with this incident, it seems to us that India has again gone back to its old way of doing things here.
Q: Why do you feel that India reacted so strongly to your attempt to remove the Army Chief?
Ananta: A story has been constructed that the Maoists wish to capture state power and take over the Army. This is false, but they have been influenced by this story. India's position also indicates that perhaps it is not very positively disposed towards the integration of armies and constitution drafting processes. The results of the Constituent Assembly (CA) elections were not in accordance with Indian desires. Even after that things didn't work according to their plan. They felt their relations with the Maoist-led government had become difficult. Their strong reaction to this recent incident seems to be an expression of this.
Q: There is an impression that the Indians are upset with the Maoists attempts to cultivate China.
Ananta: We have an open border with India. Tens of thousands of our citizens go to India to seek employment. On occasion if we want to travel from one area of Nepal to another, it is easier to go through India. Tens of thousands of Indians from Bengal and Bihar come to Kathmandu to do business. We cannot stop this right now. We understand these realities. But if anyone tries to use these realities in their self-interest, this will not be acceptable to us.
That's why we've been trying to develop more neutral, equidistant relations between India and China. But it seems that India is not happy with this. If this is true, then India has to change its mindset. It is developing its economy, trying to become a global power. But if it's constantly engaged in fights with its immediate neighbours, how will it be able to develop as a global power? For that to happen, it has to demonstrate that it is large hearted.
Q: How will the process of integration and rehabilitation of Maoist combatants proceed after this controversy regarding the attempt to remove the Army Chief?
Ananta: There is the special committee that has two representatives each from the four major parties. This will create the policy for integration and rehabilitation. A technical committee has also been formed of eight members, who, although nominated by the parties, consider themselves to be and are considered by the members of the special committee to be neutral experts. This committee will give recommendations on the modalities of integration and rehabilitation.
Even though work has somewhat halted over the past two weeks, some work is still going on. We recently visited the cantonments. We got a briefing from and held discussions with the Joint Monitoring Coordination Committee (JMCC), Peace Ministry, the People's Liberation Army (PLA), and the expert from UNMIN.
Q: What could be the solution for the current controversy regarding the removal of Chief of Army Staff (CoAS) Rookmangud Katawal?
Ananta: From a constitutional and legal point of view, the solution is easy. The government is allowed to ask for clarification, promotions and transfers of officials of the organs under its control.

Indian Intelligence Network in Nepal
Down with Indian expansionist.
Read this
http://telegraphnepal.com/news_det.php?news_id=3704
With the growing political uncertainty, when a Nation-State struggles to guard its precious territorial integrity and sovereignty, the foreign interference naturally grows exponentially. Interference is mainly sought for that there would be no spill over effect in the neighborhood or that the neighbors try to get as much benefit as possible form a faltering nation in the neighborhood.
When India is next door, one doesn’t need an enemy, a saying goes thus in Nepal.
Nepal is undergoing through such a trauma and thus the extraneous pressure is at an all time high.
The India sponsored LOKTANTRA has offered so many gifts to Nepal. The final gift in the pipeline is Sikkimisation. Just wait for it to happen.
Now coming to the point of discussion, we here would like to repeat a story penned by the Dristi Vernacular Weekly, dated July 8, 2008 as it’s main news.
The Dristi writes that the Indian Intelligence Network is already spread well over in some 25 districts nation wide. However, more disgusting is the fact that the present day Pahade ruling elites who do not hesitate in blaming the Madhesi leaders for being anti-nationals for that they demand their inherent rights, are instead at the front stage to allow the Indian authorities to spread their tentacles in 3 more districts plus of this Himalayan nation.
With the government of Nepal accepting the presence of Indian intelligence network in 25 districts already and the needed three more nodes is sure to be added up in the network soon, thus the question is, are we still the citizen of a sovereign nation that we are so proud of? Certainly not!
With borders open, how can we claim that Nepal is a sovereign nation?
“The government of Nepal is allowing the India Intelligence agency to open new outlets in the name of “District Soldiers Board” in some key points inside Nepal ,for example, Mahendranagar, Kanchanpur District; Chaturvedi, Argakhachi District; and Beni, Myagdi District”, reveals Dristi further.
“After a long and difficult procedure, we convinced the Home, Defense and Foreign Secretaries…now the file is in the table of the Chief Secretary of the Government of Nepal”, writes Dristi quoting Narayan Prasad Koirala who is the general secretary of the Nepal Ex-Army Association. Mr. Koirala- a Nepali national himself is involved in the process of opening three more outlets for District Soldiers Board- whose job would be to keep an eye to the Nepalese citizens of the areas mentioned.
However, Mr. Koirala said talking to Dristi that, we have heard that there are concerns that if the Soldiers Board is allowed to open its offices in all 75 districts of Nepal, there will be a big threat to Nepali Nationality…thus we are now concentrating to add only three districts for the time being.
Inviting the devil? Only three more districts? When the devil is in, one district will be more than sufficient.
“Even if there is threat to Nepali nationally, it is necessary to open the offices looking into the benefits of the Indian Army ex-Gorkha soldiers”, Koirala adds strength to his contention.
“A Nepal Government decision made some eight years back had stopped the process-though extremely pressurized by the Indian embassy in Kathmandu, calling it as a biggest threat to Nepali Nationally, yet the present day revolutionary government is allowing the Indian Intelligence Network to spread its tentacles in Nepal and that too willingly”. A Himalayan surprise indeed! The Revolutionary trend stands thus exposed. What say you of this?
“The Indian embassy in Kathmandu had pressurized the Nepal government not to stop the pension distribution and welfare activities for the Gorkha Soldiers in Nepal”.
Such centers that are established to distribute pensions and hold welfare activities for ex-Gorkha Soldiers in Nepal are mainly involved in spying and activities aimed at disintegrating the country.
The government formed under the premiership of Girija Prasad Koirala after the Janaandolan-II revoking the decision made by the previous Nepal government allowed the District Soldiers Board to open its offices in Besisahar, Lamgunj District; Waling, Syangja District; Gorkha, Gorkha District; Kohalpur, Banke District; Tikapur, Kailali District; and Diktel, Khotang District.
Similarly, the government of Nepal during ex-King Gyanendra’s regime under the premiership of Surya Bahadur Thapa had gleefully allowed the Indian embassy in Nepal to establish a Consulate Office in Birgunj. Thapa is a close chum of the Indian establishment. Got the point?
To add, in Nepal’s major cities such as Dharan, Pokhara and Butwal, India has established Army camps under the command of a colonel of the Indian army.
In the districts of Waling, Gulmi, Tanahau, Dang, Surkhet, Baitadi, Chitwan, Palpa, Okhaldhunga, Bhojpur, Terahthum, Taplejung, Ilam, Chainpur, the District Soldiers Board have already been established.
Recently, under the supervision of a Nepal government minister, Mr. Ramesh Lekhak an application for establishing a branch of the soldier board have been already submitted for Dailekh District.
Mr. Lekhak, a NC leader is presumed to be a yes man of Mr. Sher Bahadur Deuba of the Mahakali fame.
Look the network wherein our own august leaders are involved! What a sorry tale!
India has a long term security interest to establish such intelligence nodes in Nepal, writes Dristi quoting a security analyst.
A jumbo Indian army delegation visits all the districts of Nepal now and then where they have such boards to distribute pensions and run welfare activates. However, say analysts such activities of the Indians army are unlawful and threatening the Nepali nationality.
To boot, such visits of the Indian army personnel go unnoticed. Hmmm….
The Indian government in its own territory distributes pension to the ex-army men through bank transfers, yet in Nepal they have been running such camps...thus the Indian ill motive is abundantly clear.
The British Government too runs such camps in Nepal though the head of the British mission is the Secretary of Defense of Nepal yet the head of the Indian District Solder board is the Ambassador of India to Nepal.
No wonder! India is Nepal’s “big brother” and thus such a “special treatment” extended to them by our Jaya Chands and Mirjaffors! For more details log on to the Tuesday issue of the Dristi weekly.
With the growing political uncertainty, when a Nation-State struggles to guard its precious territorial integrity and sovereignty, the foreign interference naturally grows exponentially. Interference is mainly sought for that there would be no spill over effect in the neighborhood or that the neighbors try to get as much benefit as possible form a faltering nation in the neighborhood.
When India is next door, one doesn’t need an enemy, a saying goes thus in Nepal.
Nepal is undergoing through such a trauma and thus the extraneous pressure is at an all time high.
The India sponsored LOKTANTRA has offered so many gifts to Nepal. The final gift in the pipeline is Sikkimisation. Just wait for it to happen.
Now coming to the point of discussion, we here would like to repeat a story penned by the Dristi Vernacular Weekly, dated July 8, 2008 as it’s main news.
The Dristi writes that the Indian Intelligence Network is already spread well over in some 25 districts nation wide. However, more disgusting is the fact that the present day Pahade ruling elites who do not hesitate in blaming the Madhesi leaders for being anti-nationals for that they demand their inherent rights, are instead at the front stage to allow the Indian authorities to spread their tentacles in 3 more districts plus of this Himalayan nation.
With the government of Nepal accepting the presence of Indian intelligence network in 25 districts already and the needed three more nodes is sure to be added up in the network soon, thus the question is, are we still the citizen of a sovereign nation that we are so proud of? Certainly not!
With borders open, how can we claim that Nepal is a sovereign nation?
“The government of Nepal is allowing the India Intelligence agency to open new outlets in the name of “District Soldiers Board” in some key points inside Nepal ,for example, Mahendranagar, Kanchanpur District; Chaturvedi, Argakhachi District; and Beni, Myagdi District”, reveals Dristi further.
“After a long and difficult procedure, we convinced the Home, Defense and Foreign Secretaries…now the file is in the table of the Chief Secretary of the Government of Nepal”, writes Dristi quoting Narayan Prasad Koirala who is the general secretary of the Nepal Ex-Army Association. Mr. Koirala- a Nepali national himself is involved in the process of opening three more outlets for District Soldiers Board- whose job would be to keep an eye to the Nepalese citizens of the areas mentioned.
However, Mr. Koirala said talking to Dristi that, we have heard that there are concerns that if the Soldiers Board is allowed to open its offices in all 75 districts of Nepal, there will be a big threat to Nepali Nationality…thus we are now concentrating to add only three districts for the time being.

And now the Indian intelligence is operated by Apca House inthe name of newspaper and journalism. it is the contect point of the RAW agents to gather information in the name of selling newspapers thay are selling Nepal's informations to RAW.

'India encouraged Prez to take 'unconstitutional move'
A Central Secretariat member of Unified CPN (Maoist) has claimed that President Ram Baran Yadav overturned the government's decision to sack Army chief Rookmangud Katawal coming under pressure from foeign power centers and that it has put the constitution making and peace process in serious jeopardy.
He further said that the Maoists will protest the "unconstitutional move" both in the parliament and in the streets, but assured that they will be peaceful.
"The president nullified the decision of sacking the army chief coming under pressure from foreign powers," claimed Lilamani Pokharel at a program organized by Revolutionary Journalist's Association in Nepalgunj Monday.
Upon asked who was he referring to by "foreign power centers", he said that the President was encouraged to take an "unconstitutional move" in the direction of the India.
The remark by the Maoist leader comes at a time when the former rebel party has already decided to challenge the President's move in the court and launch protest against it both in the parliament and the street.
Maintaining that the President's move has encroached upon the rights of the people, he said the new round of dispute seen between the government and President will overshadow the main task of constitution drafting, state restructuring and the entire peace process.
He also dared political parties who he said encouraged the President to take the "unconstitutional move" to garner support of 301 members that is needed to form a new government.
Pokharel, however, assured that the Maoist People's Liberation Army won't leave the UN-monitored cantonment even till the last hour, reiterating that Maoists are committed towards the peace process.

Prachanda, Katawal and more
The dictates of foreign master had to be stopped somewhere before this country becomes a total satellite
Basanta Lohani
I support the government’s decision to sack the Army Chief Rukmangat Katawal not because he deserved to be chucked out but because the dictates of foreign master had to be stopped somewhere before this country becomes a total satellite. The foreign intervention has been too much over the years. Enough is enough.
Katawal has become a casualty, partly because of his obstinacy. So is the Maoist government, as the major coalition partner Nepal Communist Party -United Marxist Leninist has pulled back from the government. As it appears, a new UML led government with Nepali Congress support is likely to replace the present Maoist government unless the Maoist are able to pull out pigeon from the cap.
The contradiction between the latent and manifest design of the Maoists became yawning after the rebels catapulted to the government. Politics turned into brinkmanship plunged the new republic into uncertainty of change. This has put the country in the whirlpool of confusion and chaos, robbing off the people of their peace and country of its peace process. The conflict assumed a different dimension. A law-abiding citizen became vulnerable, as those who could fire the shots did not abide by law. The setting largely changed from gun to muscle power.
The parties started disputing to dispute over issues, many of which were nonissues. This is the crux of the feud between the Prachanda led government and Katawal led Nepali Army. In the process, loads of distrust, hatred and animosity piled up like the garbage in Kathmandu. National politics of consensus that made Nepal a republic fragmented further both at psychological and organizational plane. This, in turn, prodded intra party cleavages. Thus, the otherwise uneasy inter party relationship came to peril. More than the government, the very peace process seems to be at stake
The president is ceremonial but has the responsibility of safeguarding the constitution of the country. The solo onslaught of the Maoist, while the coalition partners boycotted the cabinet meeting, may not, however, infringe the sanctity of government decision. A decision made by the prime minister when is put in the minutes by the chief secretary becomes the government decision. Katawal is out unless it is reversed by the government or by the court.
The Maoists have shown remarkable courage. Even when they were almost isolated, they defied and did not allow the foreign interference to prevail this time. A decision has to be from within, even realizing that nobody is ‘autonomous ‘in the present world. Their latent design is not in line with peace process. Katawal is not to be a casualty. Again, this country is but ours. The elected government makes its decision that it deems fit. Why should any outsider run from pillar to post to load his decision? Let the constitutional mechanism prevail.

How was Maoists forced to sep down
The peace process of Nepal is now in trouble and India pushed Nepal into another conflict. Indian never wanted and wants peaceful Nepal. It didnot supported King Birendra's propose of peace state in the past too. Because it wants to occupy Nepal's water resources and other natural resources that is possible when there is instability and conflict. So, it can play a peace maker and big brother. But Big brothers is naked this time when Maoists resigned by not bowing to their pressure.
Six indian agents arrived to force the president dr Ram baran yadav to go against the consitituion and back Katwal. UML's Jhalnath Kahnal, Madhav Nepal and KP oli and Girija were in their regular touch from the Indian embassy and the RAW agents who came to Kathmandu for the mission.
They came as journalists of the media house that has Indian investment and operated from there and planned the downfall of maoist government because they stood against the wish of Indian expansionist.
The villains of Nepal's peace rajendra dahal and Biddhyadhar Mallik forced the president to write the letter that was drafted by the army. The RAW agents Rajednra Dahal and Biddhyadhar Mallik directed from Apca House and Indian Embassy.
India pushed nepal into the chaoes and Maoists slapped on India's face by not pleading to save their power and stepped down.
It is a great slap into Indian expansionists face that don't meddle in Nepali politicas.
The Apca house is the shelter for such agents and their agency people where they pose as journalist and direct the parties and their leaders what to do. The parties funded and run by RAW UML and Nepali Congress thought they won.
the journalists of the big media houses who are on payroll of Indian embassy didinot understand that the resignation was a slap to them as well that Nepal can handle its matters itself and donot need to bow down to India for power.
The big newspapers house like Apca should be closed to stop RAW operations and help the weekly newspapers like us to survive for the nation and sovereignty. Indian were slaves and are still slaves of Americans and british but they try to shoe dadagiri to small countries like nepal and Bhutan to show their mascularity like a drunk and impotent husband beats wife to shoe his bravity. The impotent Indian should learn that Its a
Down with journalists working for Indian and selling their mothers and sisters to Indians for money.
Down with impotent Indian Expensionist and its dadagiri.
Lets kick all the Indian out of this country and close the RAW propaganda machines like Indian embassy and Apca house. They are cancer for Nepal.
