Indian envoy reassures India's 'active support' to Nepal
Indian Ambassador to Nepal Shiva Shankar Mukherjee has reiterated that India will continue to extend its support to the future CPN-Maoist led government. He also said that the Indian government is 'happy' with the political changes in Nepal
Talking to media persons at the TU Teaching Hospital where he had reached to enquire about the health condition of journalist Rishi Dhamala Thursday, Mukherjee said that since the Maoists have got the people's mandate, the new government to be formed under its leadership would have "full support" of India.
"India respects the aspiration of the Nepalese people," he said, adding that his country would continue to help Nepal's peace process in the coming days also.
The Indian envoy further said that India has since long been wishing to see establishment of a sustainable peace and improvement of democratic values in Nepal, and expressed hope that the political parties would work in cooperation to ensure the smooth running of the government.
Earlier Mukherjee had said that India will go by the wishes of the people of Nepal and "actively work" with whichever party forms the government in Nepal. nepalnews.com ag Apr 17 08
