The Government of India on Wednesday has given a green signal to resume the military assistance to Nepal that had been halted for a long time.

India has given the nod to resume the assistance during a bilateral talk held between Deputy Prime Minster and Defence Minister Bijaya Kumar Gachhadar and his Indian counterpart AK Antony.

During the meet, Defence Minister AK Antony assured that India is ready to provide assistance to Nepal for the development of the Nepal Army, adding that there is an intimate relationship between the Indian Army and the Nepal Army.

The Indian Government had stopped military assistance to Nepal during the monarchial regime under Gyanendra’s rule.

Expressing concerns over the stalled peace process of Nepal, Antony said Indian Government is always ready to help Nepal for its sustainable peace.

Participants of the meeting were Joint Secretary Shankar Prasad Koirala, IGP Rabindra Pratap Shah, Nepali Ambassador to India Khaga Nath Adhikary, AIGP of Nepal Armed Police Dorje Rai, Major General of the Nepal Army Daman Ghale including Deputy Prime Minister from the Nepali side. Likewise, participants from the Indian side were Defence Minister AK Antony, Defence Secretary Shashi Kanta Sharma, Voice of Chief of Army General SK Singh and Indian Ambassador to Nepal Jayanta Prasad.

Deputy Prime Minister Gachhadar had also held a meeting with Infantry Division Chief of Indian Army VK Singh. The meeting had dwelled on the interests of the Gorkha Army and the consolidation of the Nepal Army.

Gachhadar is scheduled to attend a dinner party hosted by his counterpart Antony and call on DP Tripathi, General Secretary of the Nationalist Congress later today.

MY honest opinion, I have few highly educated friends from Nepal, They love India, at the same time hate India as much. I asked the reason over a drink. All of them had same view point. India takes Nepal for granted. They never bother investing, and help Nepal build industry, and help generate job for Nepalese. All India want to do was dump things, so Nepalese can just buy Indian made goods. They still have soft corner, and sense of family like relation with India. I think India should treat Nepal as one of its province and developed it. India lost Srilanka already. Srilanka offered India to build the port, and develop it. India never able to make a decision. By that time China got it done. Hope India doesn’t make same mistake with Nepal. Sometimes democracy sucks. Especially for India, Guess doesn’t deserve it. Because freedom comes with responsibility, which India lacks. I think India should go to Nepal with job creation and education as a tool to gain and win peoples heart. Not military aid. No one going to attack Nepal for God sake. That’s just my opinion.
