The Indian recommendation would be somebody like Koirala to head the government. The Indian team is scheduled to meet Gyanendra on Thursday morning, ahead of a huge rally planned by the political parties where, some sources said, they even planned to storm the palace. Karan Singh will also have a one-on-one with Gyanendra to make him see reason. Whether the Indian prescription will be acceptable to the Nepalis is debatable, but it is clear that Gyanendra is very worried and sources said he might be open to some persuasion. What is clear is that it will meet with resistance from the opposition. Shekhar Koirala, leader in the Nepali Congress party was categorical. "We will not accept any interim government, except the restoration of the 2002 Parliament, and elections to a constituent assembly," he told TOI . HERE ONE THING IS CLEAR - THEY WANT POWER WITHOUT ELECTIONS. He was also clear that Gyanendra could have no place in the new set-up. India is keenly watching the unfolding events in Nepal, particularly the outcome of the talks between the monarch and the Indian envoys. The imponderables are the following: whether Gyanendra believes the end is nigh for the monarchy to accept the Indian solution and cede power; whether the parties feel emboldened enough by the pace of the rebellion to reject the Indian solution by going the whole hog and removing the monarchy while they are at it; or whether the force of events in Nepal will make these solutions ineffective. WHO IS INDIA TO DO ALL THAT IN NEPAL??????? What is certainly evident is that restoration of status quo ante cannot be offered to the agitating Nepalese as a solution — that would be completely unacceptable to the popular mood. India’s decision to step in more pro-actively into Nepalese politics comes in the backdrop of the forced migration of thousands of Nepalese streaming across the border into UP, Uttaranchal and Bihar. DO U BELIEVE THERE IS FORCED MIGRATION IN NEPAL? IF THERE IS - IS THE GOVT DOING IT OR THE PARTIES WITH THE MAOISTS???? The Indian political gambit is driven by security imperatives to arrest the drift of people which could have domestic law and order implications as well as affect relations with Nepal. Depending on how the discussions pan out in Kathmandu on Thursday, India is now even preparing for drastic action. LOOK AT THAT DHOTI THREATENING US........HEY NEPALESE WAKE UP !!!!
