Deuba’s inability
I don’t know why Prime Minister Sher
Bahadur Deuba met the two world leaders - UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and US President
George W Bush - to garner support for his fight against the Maoists. These two leaders, I
am sure, will not be able to support Nepal in this fight even if they say they will
support the government in the fight against the Maoists. India is the right country Nepal
should seek support to eliminate the terrorists. Many Nepalese have raised their doubts
that some Indian political leaders may have been backing the Maoists. It is natural to
think so since the Maoists operate from India. But I don’t see any Indian leader who
is directly involved in the Maoist movement.
Deuba appears to be too weak to deal with the
Maoist problem. And it is also true that one becomes helpless when one fails to understand
what he should do. And this is excatly what has happened to Deuba. Eliminating the Maoists
is indeed a formidable task. The ongoing insurgency may claim Deuba’s prime
ministership.
