Read this post India to act tough for restoration of democracy in Nepal: Report Kantipur Report KATHMANDU, April 13 - As violence in Nepal escalates and the crackdown on anti-government protesters gets harsher, New Delhi is getting ready to back up strong words with tough steps to push for the restoration of multi-party democracy in the Himalayan kingdom, an Indian news report said on Thursday. "We will have to go beyond merely tough talk. If the situation doesn't improve, we will have to take some tough action," the online edition of the Times Of India (TOI) quoted a high-level Indian official source as saying on Thursday. "We have many levers to call Nepal's king to account. The only problem is that such measures might give some sections in Nepal fodder for anti-India propaganda," the source added. It is not yet clear what these steps would be, but if the push comes to the shove, New Delhi could use some of the methods it tried in 1989 to protest the Chinese supply of arms to Nepal like restricting transit points and curtailing the supply of petroleum products, the TOI report further said. But these methods could be used only as a last resort as they led to alienating the Nepalese people instead of hurting the monarchy in 1989, cautions Maj Gen (retired) Ashok Mehta. "We are running out of patience. King Gyanendra is not leaving us many options now," warned the official, speaking on the condition he was not identified, according to the report. "India should come out openly in support of the constituent assembly elections. We should encourage the setting up of an interim government of the Maoists and the seven democratic parties," the report quoted S.D. Muni, a Nepal expert at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, as saying. "The king is fighting a violent battle which he can't win. There is a growing feeling in India that this king can't be sustained," stressed Muni. "India should convene an all-party meeting and issue a strong statement stating in clear terms that the only way out of the impasse is to restore parliament and hold elections to the constituent assembly," advised Mehta, according to the TOI report. On Wednesday, New Delhi asked the king to stop using "repressive methods" and make a "genuine effort to initiate a dialogue with the political parties at the earliest." The report also said that whatever backing the Nepalese monarchy enjoyed in the past in India was "fast dwindling." The Bharatiya Janata Party, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and even the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, which were known to oppose any drastic action against the king on the ground that the Nepalese king is the world's only Hindu monarch, are now having a rethink, the report said. Writing in the latest edition of the RSS mouthpiece "The Organiser", Brajesh Mishra, the former Indian national security adviser, said: "You're digging the grave of the monarchy. You need to step back for the sake of your heirs and for the sake of your country." Communist Party of India-Marxist leader Sitaram Yechury met Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday and urged him to use the government's "good offices to ensure the early restoration of democracy in Nepal", according to the report.
