Kathmandu: Slamming Maoist leader Prachanda
for alleging Indian interference in Nepal`s affairs, Premier
Madhav Kumar Nepal has said his charges expose the "bias" of
an "unpredictable" person against the neighbouring country.
Nepal asserted that his country was a sovereign nation
and all talk about his government taking "dictation" from
India is "baseless".
Prachanda, after resigning as Prime Minister in May last
year, is "restless and creating all sorts of problems", he
told in an interview here.
"At times he is behaving responsibly. So he is behaving
in an unpredictable manner," the Prime Minister said about the
Chairman of Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist).
Asked about Prachanda`s allegation recently that India
was interfering in his country`s affairs and dictating to its
leaders, Nepal said, "I have not seen any interference. I have
not seen any dictation."
Prachanda, whose actual name is Pushpa Kamal Dahal, has
recently been engaged in a sharp attack on India and went to
the extent of describing it as "master" of Nepalese leaders.
Nepal said if Maoists have "knowledge of dictation or
interference, they should elaborate."
He said Prachanda had resigned as Prime Minister in May
last year of his own will and "not out of pressure from
outside".
