If India seals border for Nepal,there is diversion way
To put things in perspective and timeline, let me start with the statement issued by Indian Minister for External Affairs, Sushma Swaraj on September 14. The statement came just two days before the final vote in the Constituent Assembly.
I quote sections of the statement here, “For the last few months, the political leadership of Nepal has been intensively engaged in the critically important task of Constitution drafting, through mutual consultations and dialogue. Encouraging voices were heard from Nepalese leaders from afar that the Constitution will carry along all regions and sections, and will become the focal point of a progressive, modern and united Nepal. Coming from all the political leaders, these voices make all of us in India very happy.”
The statement further said, “We welcome and commend the recent progress achieved by the Constituent Assembly in the Constitution-drafting process wherein several contentious issues have been resolved. India is concerned over the ongoing protests and strife in several parts of Nepal… In this context, we urge continuing flexibility on the part of all the political forces so that any outstanding issues are addressed through dialogue and widest possible agreement, in an atmosphere free from violence.”
There were three key elements in the statement. First, India did not only acknowledge the progress made by the sovereign Constituent Assembly in the constitution drafting process but it also ‘welcomed and commended’ it.
