Late evening Monday May 28 and
early hours on Tuesday May 29, 2012, Prime Minister Baburam met with Indian
Ambassador Jayant Prasad and Chinese ambassador Yang Houlan.
To recall, Ambassador Houlan had
recently returned to Kathmandu after a long
summer vacation.
Both the meetings took place
without informing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Poor MoFA!
“In the last three weeks, we have
come to know about such meetings through the media,” an unnamed ministry
official is quoted as saying by a national daily adding, “We are not aware of
PM’s meetings with Indian and Chinese envoy”.
Nevertheless, what transpired
during the two separate meetings has not yet been made public by the government
but PM Baburam must have sought support from the two neighbors, claim analyst,
for the longevity of his caretaker government.
If reports leaking out of PM’s
Baluatar residence are to be believed then both the ambassadors are learnt to
have expressed similar concerns.
“Nepal’s overly stretched political
fluidity could finally have its spillover effect on the neighborhood”, reports
quote sources as saying.
Analysts claim that with
institution of monarchy replaced by power monger and corrupt India backed Nepali political leadership, the
historical equilibrium between India
and China
has also been disrupted thus the two neighbors suspect each other of having
used Nepali leaders against the other which has increased more fluidity in the Nepali
political situation.
The fluid political situation has
in turn proved to be favorable for countries in the west to use Nepali land to
foment instability in China
and keep an eye on India,
also claim analyst.
Houlan’s sudden dash to Kathmandu
does tell that Beijing
is pretty annoyed with the Indian highhandedness exhibited in Nepali politics
of late. But why then Ambassador Houlan
was missing from Kathmandu for so long?
India’s ‘men’ overwhelm Nepali
political spectrum. Beijing
laxity too is at fault.
Tough time for both India and China indeed.
