Coercion free new Nepal-India Treaty be signed: Maoist leader
Senior
Maoist leader, Mohan Vaidya alias KIRAN has said that “the Indian
establishment which remained instrumental in making the November 22,
2005, 12 point agreement a success, has been squeezing Nepal government
of late to secure with “compound interest” for all what it did while
signing the said agreement.
He made these observations while talking to the Dristi Weekly dated 17 March, 2009.
During the course of the interview, Mohan Vaidya admits that “the Indian interference in Nepali affairs is at an all time high”.
He
then suggests the measures and schemes in order to dilute the
continuing political interference of the Indian establishment in Nepal,
for example, immediate abrogation of the 1950 unequal treaty with
India; strong voices should be raised by the national population
against the continued land encroachment by the Indian side in places
like Susta, Kalapani and Pasupatinagar and many other places; measures
be taken in order to foil the Indian interests being taken in the
issues like the citizenship, water resources and security.
“We
must have new treaty with India and the latter must think that since
the world has changed much since then and thus the new treaty must
reflect the political changes that have taken place over these decades
after the signing of the 1950 treaty”, Mohan Vaidya continues.
Mr. Vaidya is considered as a hardliner in the Maoists camp.
“We want to have good relations with India but that relation must remain free from coercion”, adds Mohan Vaidya.
According
to this hardliner Maoist leader, the Indian establishment has increased
its activities of interference in Nepal affairs exploiting the
transitional period in which we are today.
He, however, claims that China-Nepal’s northern neighbor has no such a policy of squeezing the neighbors as India has.
“China has acquired a policy of non-interference in Nepal affairs”, Vaidya adds.
China’s policy is transparent but the Indian policy towards Nepal is opaque, claims Vaidya.
