Think it
I was surprised when I read the news of Indian Foreign Minister’s
comments on Maoist insurgency in Nepal. Foreign Minister Jaswant Singh, no doubt, went one
step ahead to United Nations charters and interfered in the Nepal’s internal affairs.
Surprisingly, the general secretary of Nepali Congress party welcomed the
Indian foreign minister’s speech, and it is pity that none of politicians of our
country condemned the statement. I do not want to comment whether the 90 percent of poor
people of Nepal are beneficiary or victims of the insurgency. However, I know, how
important our sovereignty is. Even the government of Nepal has not declared the Maoists
are ‘terrorists’, and trying to solve the problems through peaceful means, how
come the Indian foreign minister got a mandate to say that? This is a time to think who we
are and how important our national sovereignty is.
