Telegraph Nepal, Editorials
The freshly disseminated news
that the Kathmandu based Indian Ambassador Jayant Prasad Srivastava put his
extra energy for the elevation of one of the Nepal Government secretaries, his
preferred one presumably, has stunned the nation in that till now the Embassy
of the former British Colony had confined itself in making and breaking of
Nepali parties and of the governments, was an open secret now, however, this
unwanted and erratic additional effort made by Jayant Prasad does tell that
India will now begin penetrating into
the very administrative structure of the Nepali bureaucracy in order to damage
the very permanent pillar of the State that it is taken the world over. If he
enters into this domain, Nepal as a nation-state will begin decaying fast which
is what the Indian establishment desires.
Having interest in a particular
person is not a crime which is what could be taken as a human weakness,
however, exerting tremendous pressure on the very body politic of the
nation-state through near and dear politicians of various shades and colors in
order to elevate the ranks of a very distinguished Nepali national is quite a
different and dangerous matter. Albeit the Nepali leaders have the right to do
so in some way or the other.
The preferred personality of the
Indian Ambassador though could not get the post he deserved or not yet the
Indian Ambassador’s personal preference towards that very Nepali national and
the dissemination of the same in the media albeit must have damaged his entire
bureaucratic career in that the general population, including his juniors in
the ministry he is currently serving, will now take him as someone other’s
preferred man which he may have been not.
Question now come to the fore is
why Jayant Prasad dared to damage the very honest bureaucratic credentials of
this individual serving the Nepal government as one of the most distinguished
Secretaries? Out of love? Or what? Or wanted to kill his image?
While these questions demands
convincing answers yet what is for sure is that in the name of helping this
Nepali national, our honored citizen, the Indian involvement must have caused
immense damage instead.
At times, even one jumps into the
scene with a good intent yet the end result is negative as the one about which
we have been talking about. We really feel sorry for such a situation where in
the Indian envoy pushed this Nepali citizen.
More than the damage caused to
this honored Nepali national, the damage is already in record now, Jayan’t
poking his nose into the administrative domain of Nepali bureaucracy must be
taken as a diplomatic crime which, if taken seriously and if the government, an
Indo-pendent one that it is, has any guts or political stamina then the Nepali
foreign ministry should immediately declare Ambassador Jayant Prasad as Persona
Non Grata with a stern warning to leave the Nepali soil well within forty eight
hours.
But who will bell the wild cat?
Nepal PM Bhattarai can’t collect this much courage for fear of being imprisoned
if and when as a simple person he makes a small trip to the Indian soil. More
so Bhattarai is taken as the Indian product by some high placed quarters.
Will Prachanda then collect this
much courage, who keeps on telling his audience at times that he will not bow
down to the alien Deities, to convince his deputy and the Nepal PM to act fast
and send Jayant Babu back to Delhi?
Prachanda will not because every
evening he is with the Indian Ambassador or vice versa. What transpires in
between these two luminaries in such evening gathering is any body’s guess as
Professor Sukh Deo Muni has very freshly revealed, tip to toe, as to what
Prachanda is in effect. By the way Muni has
also exposed Bhattarai’s real credentials.
Stretching this matter further
will boomerang on Nepal as India knows on how to fix the nails on the heads of
the erratic; this is what they take those who talk in favor of Nepal, Nepali
personnel as had been recently fixed by Ambassador Shyam Saran to one of our senior professional colleague
who even apologized in haste for some mysterious reasons.
Soon the days will come to us
when we will listen that Nepali nationals will have to submit their
applications straight at the Indian embassy if they wish to join the Nepal
government services. This will, as and when this happens, come as an added
advantage for the Nepali competent nationals for they will not have to undergo
through the rigorous process of being selected by the Nepali Public Service Commission
as per the rule.
Yet thanks must go to the Indian
Ambassador that his preferred one was an honest and nationalist Nepali of this
country. Our sympathy goes to this eminent Nepali national who for not of his
fault was drawn into controversy through the kind courtesy of the Indian
Ambassador Jayant babu. This does also mean that the Lainchour premise will now
poke its nose in each and every Nepali institution in order to further damage
the very untainted credentials of those whom it prefers. Rehearsal of
Sikkimisation perhaps has already begun. Is India then a friend or foe? Real
friends do not poke their nose in the internal matters of other countries. Then
what?
