Maoists Transfer Nepalese Money from India to Switzerland
 By Halshi Bash
 I am a Swiss national and practice Buddhism. I have been to Lumbini,
 Nepal, the birth place of Siddharta Gautama and other places like
 Kathmandu, Pokhara, Lukla, Gorkha and several Himalayan regions, many
 times. I love Nepal the way Nepalese do.
 The reason I have so much affection towards Nepal may be because my
 professor and mentor, the late Tony Hagen, renowned economist and very
 popular with Nepalese people, loveed Nepal more than his own country,
 Switzerland. He never tired of talking about Nepal.
 Though I am a native of Zurich, the German speaking city of Switzerland,
 I am currently residing in Rue de Rhone (Rhone lane or avenue) of
 Geneva, the French speaking part of the Swiss confederation. I have been
 here three years because of my employment contract with the Swiss Bank,
 "Credit Suisse". All of Switzerland's major banks are located within
 walking distance.
 It is the reason most of the employees of different banks come to a very
 popular eatery, "cafe de Geneve" to have their breakfast and lunch. At
 these times, we always try to outsmart our colleagues and friends of
 different banks by initiating a very hot or new item of talk. Swiss
 tradition is that whoever has a new or very hot topic is considered to
 be a smarter than the others. But the topic should be genuine and
 authentic. Anyone can lose his or her image for a whole lifetime if he
 or she tells an unreliable story. So, the Swiss people have a habit of
 speaking based on authenticity.
 Very recently, we were all outsmarted by our friends at another bank. I
 was particularly shocked because the topic was related to Nepal, my
 dream country and by faith my mother country because Buddhism was born  
in Nepal.
 The very hot item of talk was so shocking that if the people of Nepal
 listened to it, they would have a million watt electric shock. The
 leaders of the Maoist Party including ministers of the present Nepal
 Government, namely, Prachanda (Pushpa K. Dahal), Dr. Baburam Bhattarai,
 Krishna Mahara, Hishila Yami and others were here to transfer a huge
 amount of money from Indian Banks to major Swiss Banks. The amount of
 that money is even more shocking because it is in the hundreds of
 million Euros. If the people of Nepal ask the Swiss Government, it can
 influence the Swiss Banks for the disclosure of the amounts and the
 account holders.
 For my part, as a person having deep affection towards Nepal, I will do
 my best to find things in details but the Nepali people should
 understand my limitations as an Assistant Manager. The Nepali people
 should ask the Swiss Government to freeze the money as soon as possible
 otherwise the Swiss politicians could be bribed by the Banks to keep the
 Bank's secrecy.
 It has also been said that some European Union members are helping the
 Maoists to transfer money to Swiss Banks. Why are the capitalist western
 countries helping extremist radical Maoists is beyond my understanding
 which could be a good subject of research for the people of Nepal.
