Trivandrum, India, Nov. 29 2001 (INS News) --
Incessant disaster followed by internal unrest is an irreparable
and threat to the stability of a country. That is what happened to Subcontinent's sovereign neighbour state Nepal. The Maoist rampage on army barracks, airport , and other government installations, killing 250 people in Nepal, Maoist having declared their on revolutionary government with People Liberation Army.

It was a shock when the country was resurrecting from the total massacre of Nepal Royal Family. (Earlier there was a wide spread anti-India waves). It was suspect the Kingdom being grip of a civil war. The situation made it clear by the fact that Prime Minister Sher Bhahadur Deuba, while assuming power, vowed to defeat Maoist, has now recommended for an emergency. King Gyanendra of Nepal through a proclamation following the recommendation by the cabinet, declared a state of emergency which will be in force for a three months time subject to a extension of six months in anticipation of the approval of the Parliament.

A Royal communiqué quoted that " His Majesty the King has in accordance with the constitution of Nepal declared a state of Emergency in respect of the whole Kingdom of Nepal. The King also declared the Maoist as a terrorist outfit.

The violence unleashed by the Maoist group on that expires the ceasefire. This is the second worst violence since Maoist began their campaign in 1996. These five years have claimed the lives of 2000 people. The proclamation of emergency empowered the government to use army for the first time to tackle the Maoist. Nepal had a formerly reluctant to deploy army for the fear of upselling the dedicate balance of its monarchy. Army troops were deployed across country moved into action in the Maoist hit area.

The Deuba government assumed power with promise of bringing the Maoist to negotiating table. The breakdown of talks had ushered the series of violence. The violence have to condemn. It is a setback for democracy in Nepal. The entire system of democracy will plunge into jeopardy. Despotic and corruption, conflict among political circles for power,displeasure among the people related administration widened the between people and government.

Since 1990 had a strong feeling of anti-Monarchism. But late King Birendra was sharp to introduce reforms in administration in the country but in vain. Growth of ill-feeling caused by rulers helped the entire mass to embrace Maoism. Emergency is not a preventive method for curbing the Maoist activities. Shaping a clean government with the full participation of the people can only isolate terrorist and bring the people in to main stream. Nepal concern is the year of unfortunate. Political stability in Nepal have a pivotal role to play concern with the subcontinent.

Assuming political power which have an anti-India attitude in Nepal will be a headache for India's support for the development programmes in various sectors are still continuing, in Nepal. Cultivating harmony,good relation and co-operation between the two countries is inevitable.

Pakistan is forerunner for spreading anti-India waves and also using Nepal for cross-border terrorism. A government allegiance to China in Nepal is another threat. Totally unrest in Nepal a obstruction to India in various sectors. India is vigilant of intruders of Maoist to the country through the border Bengal state of Indian
Union. In this scenario India's interference in Nepal should have its own care.
