09.07.2020

Border disputes in Ladakh and Nepal, the rejection of China's BRI projects in the neighboring countries of Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, the competing efforts to establish their own corridor via Balochistan and the Pashtun areas to Afghanistan, the emerging global player India is rubbing against the big geopolitical and economically aspiring neighbors China and neighboring Pakistan have previously held local conflicts. And both sides repeatedly expressed their willingness to peace and the reduction of tensions through bilateral talks.

Now it became known that: "RAW (Indian Research and Analysis Wing) and the Guard Commando Force under the direction of the Indian General Manager of the Crown Plaza - Kathmandu Soaltee - Upal Majundar are using advanced weapons to prepare for a security operation against Nepal."

"Supported by former King Gyanendra Shah, convinced that the monarchy would be restored. Although it had been abolished nine years ago, of all places with Maoists supported by India, who still have their base in India today. After a long civil war, they had put down their arms and declared themselves ready for peace. Premier is Maoist Oly, who was long considered a left-wing revolutionary and now leads the country's destinies more conservatively.”

Nepal, which is almost entirely economically dependent on India, tried to calm flaring border disputes with India, this question should not affect the close ties with India, said Foreign Minister Gyawali.

The Nepalese chief diplomat's statement came a day after Prime Minister Oli accused New Delhi of trying to push him out of his government's plan for a new political map of Nepal.

China's President hopes the countries will improve their connection. He added that Beijing and Kathmandu would improve their relationship with the strategic partnership.

India had never liked Nepal's independence

The Nepalese government recently prevented the strategy of the Indian Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), with the support of the main opposition party Nepali Congress and the political parties Terai Centric, in cooperation, the Nepalese Citizenship Act as part of the plan, Nepal to merge with the Indian Union by 2030 respectively. It was about deciding whether a foreign woman who marries a Nepalese man will be granted Nepalese citizenship. The State Affairs Committee (SAC) of the Nepalese federal parliament has passed the Citizenship Act with a majority. This is now only granted after seven years of permanent residence in Nepal. The Indian establishment, which has long dominated Nepal, is pursuing the strategy of merging Nepal with the Indian Union by 2030 by granting citizenship to its citizens through legal channels. In order to settle Indian citizens in Nepal and to push the Nepalese into the minority.

Should the planned security operation in the Hotel Crown Plaza bring about direct confrontation with China in order to reverse China's growing influence on Nepal?

The decision of the Nepalese parliament, which has passed a constitutional amendment, in which disputed areas between India and Nepal, such as Lipulekh, Kalapani and Limpiyadhura (approx. 400 km²), are classified as belonging to Nepal, can partly be explained by the factor of third parties. China sees this as the inevitable geopolitical task and right of an emerging power, according to an anonymous source in China. China wants this to be understood as a warning to moderate India's efforts to gain great power in the Himalayas.

The Indians see their influence in Nepal under threat. They call the ruling Maoists in Nepal, who brought them to power, according to their daily political aspirations as Communist Nepal, has become a dog for Communist China. Nepal's debt would increase every day. And why Nepal needs a railway line to Lhasa? Would it in any way arise the failed economy of Nepal? And do Nepal export anything to China? China would use the Nepalese Communist Party to expand its expansion agenda, it says in Whatsapp groups from the Indians

General Manager Upal Majumdar has turned the late King Birendra's SAARC home at Crowne Plaza Kathmandu-Soaltee into an anti-Nepal information gathering center with intelligence and information technology for Secret Service officials and the Guard Command Force.

A large number of Indian Armed Forces Research and Analysis (RAW) and a dozen Guard Command Force officers have been staying at Hotel Soaltee, according to a senior official from the National Investigation Department. He said adviser Rajan Bhattarai was handicapping him when he tried to inform Prime Minister Oli about it.

A national investigative officer said, "King Gyanendra Shah has been silent about anti-national activities in his hotel, believing the monarchy will be restored." Even at this point, there is a risk of major security measures.

He emphasized that Upal Majumdar himself is an agent of the Indian Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), under whose leadership the Indian Guard Command Force can invade Nepal's national security at any time through the EU-founded SAARC house Crowne Plaza Kathmandu-Soaltee . "

The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) was founded on December 8, 1985 in Dhaka (Bangladesh) and is based in the Nepalese capital Kathmandu. Founding members are India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and the Maldives. In April 2007, Afghanistan joined the organization at the New Delhi Summit. The People's Republic of China, Japan, the European Union, South Korea, the United States and Iran have observer status. Russia is seeking observer status, which is supported by India. The long-term goal is to create a South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA), which will then include 1.6 billion consumers, or around a fifth of the world's population. The SAARC is based in Crown Plaza Kathmandu-Soaltee.

Remember that Upal Majumdar and the Indian Embassy in Nepal have been conducting regular meetings and activities against Nepal’s national security by making this hotel the center for the unification of Nepal’s Terai centric (Madhesi) parties.

According to an employee of Crowne Plaza Kathmandu-Soaltee, there is a large number of guard commando forces and weapons inside Hotel.

Upal Majumdar an Indian national with a salary of around Rs 1 million, has been running regular hotel activities even when there are no customers.

Employees of Crowne Plaza Kathmandu-Soaltee say that the failure of the Nepal Government to immediately control and investigate these activities against Nepal Rastra could be unfortunate for the country.”

The comparatively small Himalayan states of Ladakh, Nepal and Bhutan in the ordeal by India's rivalry with China hold a great latent danger that the local conflict could quickly turn into a belligerent conflict between the two powers. And reach an even higher level of the strategic conflict of superpowers, also because of the proximity to the controversial Kashmir. Both powers want peace. Their tolerance in view of their expansion of influence is therefore in demand, especially in Nepal. If a civil war arose in the divided country, India could quickly occupy the entire country with its activities in the Crown Plaza. To unite it with the Indian Union in a warlike manner. Or in direct confrontation, to sabotage the planned projects such as the construction of the railway along the Indian border to Kathhmandu by violent actions. This alarming incident at the Crown Plaza doesn't just affect Nepal. But in the globalized world, which has become small, it should be the SAARC as well as the observers e.g. of concern to the EU, if India's RAW has a so-called security operation carried out, which can escalate the conflict between India and China to a great extent, contrary to all previous claims to peace. It would therefore be advisable for SAARC observers to call on India to stop such actions.
