The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s Foreign Relations Department chief and party spokesperson Bijay Joli said Nepal’s peace process has now reached its final stage and lauded the progress being made on that front.
Recalling that the 12-point Comprehensive Peace Accord was signed in the Indian capital New Delhi when BJP leader Atal Bihari Bajpayee was India’s prime minister, Joli said the world community including India has been closely watching developments in Nepal´s peace process.
Bharatiya Rastrabadi Congress General Secretary and lawmaker Tariq Anwar said India is for peace, stability and secularism in Nepal and added that upon successful completion of the peace process India would announce a ´special assistance’ package for Nepal’s development.
Echoing Anwar, India’s ruling Congress party spokesperson and lawmaker Rashid Alwi pledged enhanced economic assistance to Nepal after the promulgation of a new constitution.
The Congress leader further said it is the Nepali people and their parties that make and topple Nepal´s government and added that India, aside from playing a facilitating role, always wants to refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.
