After Nepal’s Former monarch Gyanendra Shah left for India by the end of February last month to attend to a marriage ceremony of one of his cousin in Madhya Pradesh, India, mercury took an upswing instantly in the Maoists camp and an unnerved Maoists declared that the sudden dash to Delhi of the Nepali leaders was fraught with danger. “Following ex-king Gyanendra’s India visit, Nepal’s political actors too heading to India forwarding various reasons has been seriously taken note of”, the Maoists central Secretariat meeting held today, March 10, 2009, declares. The Maoists party also came to conclusion that an anti-republican front is already taking shape in New Delhi under the aegis of former Monarch Gyanendra Shah. Analysts remain askance as to why the Maoists are afraid of the Nepali leaders fresh run to Delhi with suspicion given the same stance as back as in 2005 had remained instrumental in dethroning the monarch? The same instrument, read Delhi, is apparently is all set to pull the carpet under the feet of the Maoists much the same way as it did with the then King. Too much faith in New Delhi is “dangerous to political health”, the Maoists must understand this fact, analysts opine. Reports emanating from New Delhi, however, suggest that the Indian establishment is trying to negotiate with the Nepal’s democratic parties to revive the new defunct 1990 constitution, which if revived, will automatically elevate the ranks of the now sidelined King Gyanendra as the Constitutional Monarch of Nepal. 2009-03-10 13:20:57 &nbsp; 'Gyanendra's Delhi visit, more than meets the eye' Dr. Babu Ram Bhattarai, Maoists’ senior leader and incumbent minister for Finance has said that the forthcoming&nbsp;India&nbsp;visit of some of&nbsp;Nepal’s top leaders at a time when former Monarch Gyanendra is already in&nbsp;India, is part of a grand conspiracy being hatched against the ruling Maoist government. “Gyanendra in India, is moving from door-to-door apologizing for his past blunders with the Indian leaders, he is also asking them to help Nepal revive monarchy but in the form of his grandson (Hridayendra)”, said Dr. Bhattarai addressing a gathering in Kathmandu on Sunday, March 8, 2009. “A person who was supposed to attend a wedding ceremony and visit some temples, is primarily meeting the Indian leaders”, said the Finance Minister who also during the Maoists’ led rebellion was&nbsp;India&nbsp;based. “Some corrupt political players who were at the helm of the nation since decades and decades, misusing state-resources too want to support Gyanendra’s fresh motives, thus they are heading towards&nbsp;New Delhi”. A daily newspaper had reported on Sunday, March 8, 2008, that Nepali Congress President Girija Prasad Koirala, Janashakti Party President Surya Bahadur Thapa and Chief of the Army Staff Mr. Rookmangad Katawal are all soon heading to New-Delhi. Mr. K.P. Sharma Oli, who was recently defeated in the UML election for the post of the Chairman by Mr. Jhala Nath Khanal, is already in&nbsp;New Delhi. 2009-03-09 07:56:14 &nbsp; Annoyed Delhi’s fresh Nepal ploy! Kathmandu: A sort of political blizzard is likely to overwhelmNepal&nbsp;soon. Destructive politics appear to have already taken a shape which awaits only its formalization in a week or so. The frenzied play that is being played in the dim corners of Kathmandu backed by some alien forces in the South will, if it does happen, apparently be very hard to be tackled by the ruling Maoists-the party in government. Exactly after a lapse of three years four months (minus 12 days to be more precise), such a destructive political play is being staged by forces that are visibly inimical to the Maoists and its new found ally-China in the North. Recall, the fateful date of November 22, 2005, when the&nbsp;New Delhi&nbsp;establishment had brought all of its Nepali stooges cum servants to&nbsp;Delhi&nbsp;and forced them all to sign the most infamous 12 point agreement that summarily was aimed at dethroning the erstwhile monarch from the Nepali throne. The tacit understanding that&nbsp;New Delhi&nbsp;administration under Indian Goliath Shyam Saran managed in between the then seven agitating political parties and the Maoists then residing in&nbsp;New Delhiremained instrumental in dismantling the Nepali Royalty.&nbsp;India&nbsp;must have been happy for having uprooted the 240 year long Royal institution of&nbsp;Nepal. But what political gains she pocketed after the Royalty was marginalized? Definitely, when&nbsp;India&nbsp;was all set and prepared to extract bigger political gains, the Chinese regime entered into&nbsp;Nepal&nbsp;in a very big way. It were the Indian continued follies of the Himalayan order that facilitated and encouraged even the Chinese regime to make its “grand way” in Nepalese political affairs to the extent that India by now must have been suffering from China phobia. A country which remained under the mercy of the Indian establishment for decades and decades willingly dared to free itself from the Indian pocket and went in search of yet another equally powerful pouch. The Chinese bag suited the Maoists most, let’s presume. The Indians have reasons to become highly sensitive and thus uneasy too. The background: On December 3, 2008, the visiting Chinese foreign minister Yang Jiechi sent a loud and clear message here and there by stating that “China&nbsp;will remain ever at the back of&nbsp;Nepal&nbsp;in order to safeguard the territorial integrity and national independence of&nbsp;Nepal”. Definitely this message was aimed at&nbsp;India&nbsp;wherein&nbsp;China&nbsp;wanted to signal&nbsp;India&nbsp;that “enough would be enough” if the former further squeezed&nbsp;Nepal&nbsp;under one pretext or the other. The Chinese foreign minister said this right here in&nbsp;Kathmandu. When he was saying so, he facedSouth&nbsp;at the Chinese embassy reception hall where this pen pusher was also invited as a guest. Stunned by this Chinese tentative admonition, the Indian Ambassador Rakesh Sood then met the former King on December 9, 2008, and apparently appealed the former monarch to devise schemes to dilute this dangerous Chinese warning. This secret meet took place in Soaltee Hotel and consumed more than two hours from 6.30 till 8.30 PM. The King reportedly said the Indian Ambassador, “Now face the music…I can be of no use to you in this regard…I have already been sidelined…..Don’t drag me into politics”. A panicked&nbsp;India&nbsp;got yet another political blow and that once again from the Chinese side. December 12, 2008, the Chinese Ambassador, Qui Guohong, bluntly declared that “China&nbsp;will protect&nbsp;Nepal’s sovereignty and national independence come what may”. Some thing was more in store for the Indian establishment. The Chinese Ambassador once again recapped on December 28, 2009, wherein he stated that “Nepal-China relations were taller than&nbsp;Mount Everest”. The fresh Chinese “vinegary pill” must have been very hard to be gulped by the Indian establishment. Come 2009-the New Year: The Chinese excessive socialization with the new&nbsp;Nepal&nbsp;regime did not stop but instead increased to the utter dismay of the country across the border in the South. While greeting a Nepal Foreign Ministry delegation led by Foreign Secretary Gyan Chandra Acharya on February 21, 2009, the Chinese foreign minister Yang Jiechi once again assured&nbsp;Nepal&nbsp;of the Chinese support and that too unconditionally. Look what he says, “Nepal-China relationship now be based on strategic partnership”. The use of the word “strategic” must have pained the Indian regime to the hilt for obvious political reasons. The wide and broad political overtone that the word strategic carries with it was perhaps sufficient for the Indian regime to smell rat against the incumbent Maoist regime in&nbsp;Nepal. Some thing more to taunt the Indian regime still remained in Chinese store. By the end of February, last month, Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister, Hu Zengyue, came to Kathmandu and exploded a political bombshell whose tremors were largely felt in&nbsp;New Delhi. The Assistant Minister from&nbsp;China&nbsp;pushed a new draft-proposal of Peace and Friendship Treaty to the perusal of the&nbsp;Nepal&nbsp;Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal in order to replace a former one that was signed as back as in 1960. (Unsubstantiated reports claim that Prime Minister Dahal had himself approached the Chinese side when he was in&nbsp;Beijing&nbsp;last year to come up with such a new treaty). The Chinese side forwarded the fresh treaty proposal at a time when the Indian regime would want a new extradition treaty to be signed by the Nepali side at the earliest. The Indian Foreign Secretary Shiv Shanker Menon came here a fortnight ago and pressed Nepali side very hard for signing the extradition treaty. The Indian draft of the extradition treaty is such that&nbsp;India&nbsp;could ask the deportation of any third country nationals whom it concluded to have engaged in anti-India activities from Nepali soil. The Indian model of the draft treaty if signed by&nbsp;Nepal&nbsp;then the Pakistanis and the Chinese nationals will be the main target. The Europeans and the Americans may be the Indian targets after the Pakistanis and the Chinese nationals. Nepal&nbsp;PM Dahal has so far not made any commitment from his side to the utter chagrin of the Indian regime. As if the Indian pain were not enough, the Chinese embassy spokesperson Shan Ido on March 6, 2009, bluntly declared that&nbsp;China&nbsp;has already forwarded the draft of a new Peace and Friendship Treaty with Nepal to Nepal PM Dahal. Shan Ido revealed this fact only after when the secretly handed over treaty draft got leaked from the&nbsp;Nepal’s Foreign Ministry sources. The Chinese have done their job well. They did what they had to. By now what has been abundantly clear is that the Maoists who were attentively nursed and cared by the Indian regime while staging a decade long People’s War have suddenly abandoned the Gandhian camp only to join the land wherefrom the Maoism originated. A fatal blow to the Indian authorities. This must have come as a bolt from the blue to the Indian mandarins seated in the South Block. Thus the South Block and the ruling elites of the Indian establishment have enough logical reasons to “teach a befitting lesson” to the Maoists who in a way or the other betrayed the Indian assistance which they received in their troubled days. The stage is thus set in&nbsp;Delhi. The plan? How to unseat the Maoists from power? The annoyance in<SPAN c
