Was there a consensus in the GOI that the army needed to be backed or were there specific elements/institutions that advocated this view? What was the balance of power in India on this issue?<br />- NAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13437119.post-59098040370158860342009-05-08T05:28:00.000+05:302009-05-08T05:28:00.000+05:30I think you see Nepal situation through colored ey...I think you see Nepal situation through colored eyes.You must take into account the Maoist's lies ,now exposed through the video of Prachanda bragging how they were able to inflate their numbers to the UNMIN...this is what they have been doing in every sphere of life in Nepal.Threats and intimidation by Maoist and their sister organizations is a daily thing now.The YCL goons are the largest organized gang in the country.Please be objective in your assessment if you think you are an expert on Nepal.Nepal army is the only institution they have not been able to infiltrate.They have already done so with the judiciary,police and the administration.I am a believer is civilian control over army but not like this,at the risk of becoming a la Pol Pot's cambodia.No Sir,thank you !..please advise your own countrymen and politicians on how to conduct their business in a democracy(since there are so many needing lessons for the same)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13437119.post-16174158649343602652009-05-07T22:53:00.000+05:302009-05-07T22:53:00.000+05:30Siddharth,
Why do you believe that India is backi...Siddharth,<br /><br />Why do you believe that India is backing the undemocratic actions in Nepal? Has the MEA publicly said so?<br /><br />I understand that Indian officials held a meeting with Nepal's army chief following the incident but that could also be to help defuse the situation, not merely an expression of support for his defiance, could it not?<br /><br />Your point that in a parliamentary system, the President lacks the authority to overrule the Union Cabinet is correct. But for one thing, how valid is that principle when the government decidedly lacks majority support in the NA? Is a minority government entitled to the same prerogatives as a coalition enjoying the confidence of the legislature? I understand that the Nepali constitution is still being written. What is the present state of the law and how does it define the powers of the President? Does he enjoy the powers and privileges of the erstwhile sovereign?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13437119.post-61600518339207688382009-05-07T18:20:00.000+05:302009-05-07T18:20:00.000+05:30Wow, nice to read about Maoists being defenders of...Wow, nice to read about Maoists being defenders of civilian control over army. If the old Nepal army was primarily to fight the Maoists and protect the royals (both India and China need only send a fax to take over Nepal), now that both are not 'enemies', why does Nepal army need another 20-30,000 fighters? Unless the intention is to turn them into a taxpayers burden while they still carry on the Maoists agenda of eventual gun-point dictatorship? <br />Isn't that intention absolutely clear from the video of Prachanda?<br /><br />China is trying to control Nepal through Maoists just as it is trying to turn India into a toothless puppet state through the Stalinists. Wonder why China's call for a nuclear free 'South Asia' which essentially means India should give up nuclear weapons even as PRC keeps them (and distributes them to the jihadi terrorist dictators of Pakistan as and when required) figures prominently in the Stalinist election manifesto? <br /><br />Either we surrender meekly or try some tricks on our own. Nepal is not going to be left alone/independent by China. So anything done by our govt. in the interest of national security needs whole hearted support of all. Unless the intention is to facilitate the eventual control of all of the subcontinent by the Maoists HQ in BeijingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
