Nepal's unrest its own doing: India

An all-party meeting in Nepal is slowly moving towards a consensus on a 'new government of national unity', the Maoists are ready to support such a government if Nepal's president agrees to the sacking of the army chief.

Posters in protests rally by Maoists tell sign of the anti-India sentiment that runs high in Nepal after the Maoist government blamed India for its fall.

As Nepal struggled to fill the political vacuum ex-Prime Minister Prachanda's message to India was clear.

"We are in favour of good relations with all our neighbours. But we will not tolerate any intervention by a neighbour," said Prachanda, former Prime Minister, Nepal.

But sources in India say the Maoists are blaming India as a diversionary tactic.

India bashing, a diversion:
Sources have told NDTV that Nepal is pointing fingers at India to hide army-government feud
18 political parties opposed Prachanda on sacking army chief.
Indian Ambassador met Nepal PM four times on Prachanda's invitation.

To cover-up the feud between the army and the government sources have told NDTV that 18 political parties opposed the PM Prachanda's move to sack army chief.

India's Ambassador to Nepal didn't interfere in internal matters but met Prachanda four times at the PM's invitation.

The blame game notwithstanding Nepal is no closer to finding its way out of this crisis.

"President Ram Baran Yadav has to withdraw his decision to reinstate the army chief," said Baburam Bhattarai, Deputy Chairman, United CPN(Maoist).

Three days after the latest crisis, still there's no clarity on who will form the next government, the only thing that is clear whichever government does eventually come in it will not meet the President's weekend deadline.
