Corruption and Foreign Policy Concerns Rock Nepals Prime Minister and Party
x

In recent days, the central committee of Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal's party has been engaged in talks that have been dominated by criticism of the party and the government over alleged instances of corruption.

However, some members of the committee have also raised concerns about the Prime Minister's official visit to India in June. During the meeting with the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist Centre (CPN-MC), these members expressed their unfavorable evaluations of the Prime Minister's visit, stating that it showed a visible tilt towards India and could potentially anger China.

They highlighted that Nepal has long pursued a non-aligned foreign policy with China and that this situation is not ideal for the country. One committee member, Parsuram Tamang, warned about the consequences of this tilt towards India, stating that it could have negative implications for Nepal's foreign policy and its relationship with China.

He called for a more balanced approach in Nepal's dealings with its neighboring countries. The talks have not only focused on the Prime Minister's visit but have also been marked by criticism of the party and government over alleged instances of corruption. The leadership has been feeble in defending against these criticisms, according to reports.

Janardan Sharma, the Deputy Secretary-General of CPN-MC, accused the Prime Minister of playing double games and pointed out that despite the party's opposition to non-party members being considered for the President's position, a Congress person was ultimately elected.

These discussions highlight the tensions within the party and the government, as well as the concerns about Nepal's foreign policy and its relationships with India and China. It remains to be seen how these issues will be addressed and resolved within the party and the government.
