<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Taking the cue from the government, the West Bengal government allowed a demonstration of the Naxalites ( CPI- ML. Liberation) before the Nepalese consulate in Calcutta to coincide with the visit of the Nepalese tourism minister to Kolkata.  The Maoist outfit in Nepal has been declared by India as a terrorist outfit and yet a demonstration in support of that outfit was allowed! <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In suspending aid, only Great Britain has followed the Indian example.  The world bank is said to have suspended $70 million aid under the poverty reduction strategy credit programme for the current fiscal year but there is no confirmation as yet.  On the other hand, the IMF and the ADB have pledged continued aid to Nepal as the “country is fighting terrorism.”

The decision of IMF has certainly been influenced by the USA.  Though it has threatened, the USA has not suspended security aid so far. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The King’s action in banning Indian cable networks while at the same time allowing other international cable net works to function is not going to help the situation.  Another defiant gesture of the King has been the extension of imprisonment of top political leaders for another two months. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

These bungling fools are bent on making even Nepal an enemy country.. <!--emo&:furious--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/furious.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='furious.gif' /><!--endemo-->
