Indian Embassy is again planning to throw a weapon to destabilize the NC government. Prime Minister KP Bhattarai has, however, foiled the weapon fired against him through some ruling party MPs.

Now, the embassy is preparing to launch another weapon through the main Opposition party, UML leader.

Indian ambassador K.V. Rajan met with UML’s K.P. Oli for two hours in the morning of September 26. The deputy leader of the opposition party in the parliament, who had entered the Indian Embassy at 8 A.M. exited fromt he embassy at 10 A.M.

It is learnt that, among others, the talks was focussed on how to create and widen the differences between the government and the ruling party and what would be the appropriate time for the UML to launch its street protests.

Meanwhile, the Indian ambassador is also keen on ousting Minister for Sports Sharat Singh Bhandari. It might be mentioned here that Dipak Malhotra was given the responsibility (by the minister) of importing sporting good for the SAF Games and he imported them from China.

However, during the visit of former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, China has also shown interest to construct the Arun-3 hydro-power project. During his visit Deuba had met with important Chinese leaders. This has also created doubt in the mind of the Indian ambassador.
