Although the Nepali political leaders express strong commitment to the leaders and diplomats of our neighbouring countries about not allowing Nepal to be used for any activities against them when they meet each other, in practice they are allowing such activities to take place in Nepali soil. Janadharana vernacular weekly has reported that a team of Nepali Constituent Assembly members have even extended an invitation for a visit to Nepal to the Dalai Lama, who is in self exile in India. Chairman of the Lumbini Foundation, Sidhartha Gautam, who is known to be close with the Hindu fundamentalist party, BJP, had arranged a visit of the tarai based parties’ CA members to Dharamshala and meeting with the Dalai Lama.
During the meeting, the CA members representing some tarai-based political parties, had handed over a request letter to the Dalai Lama to inaugurate the Tibet Communication Center in Kathmandu, which has been closed for a long time.The Center situated in Lazimpat was closed down after King Gyanendra assumed executive power. The Maoist-led government had declined to re-open the Center.It has been revealed that Dalit Indigenous Party chairman Bishwobendra Paswan, B.P Yadav from Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (Upendra), Rajkishor Yadav, Asha Kumari Sardar, Ishwor Dayal Mishra of TMLP and Rukmani Chaudhary of the Federal Loktantrik Manch met the Dalai Lama and handed over the invitation to him. The CA members led by Sidhartha Gautam assured him that the Madhesi CA members will support in establishing a Himalayan State in federal Nepal. They reportedly said that after the establishment of the Himalayan State, the agitation for the independence of Tibet would be decisive. The Dalai Lama has said that he had a desire since long to visit Nepal and that he was not able to do this because the Nepal government had not given any invitation. He also cited the threat issued by China to Nepal which had made him stay away. According to a source, the CA members said that they would work to urge the Nepal government to make arrangements for the visit. After the Nepali CA members met the Dalai Lama on 27 June, a team of American parliamentarians also met the Lama.
According to a website run by Dharmashala, the UML-led government has informally informed that it will allow the reopening of the Tibet Center, which is equivalent to an embassy.Likewise, a 10-member team constituting of writers, journalists, professors and social workers based in western Nepal, led by human rights organization (Huron) also met the Dalai Lama and promised him Nepal's support in the Free Tibet agitation.
According to a report, Dharmashala is extending the branches of Tibet Young Congress (TYC) in Nepal-Tibet bordering areas. The Indian army has already opened District Soldier Board offices in those districts where the TYC branches are being extended. Dalai Lama’s workers, with the support of the Indian army personnel in civil dress, are active in Nepali villages bordering with Tibet, calling for the establishment of a Himalayan State. This shows the intention of the Dalai Lama to establish a Himali State in Nepal.According to an analyst, "The Indian immigrants in Tarai are being pumped up to call for caste-based federal states with total autonomy. This is India's long term strategy of establishing one Madhesi one state. The representatives of the same Madhesi immigrants met the Dalai Lama. Since 1960, Lama has been active in establishing a separate independent Himalayan State in Nepal. Lama is receiving open support from America, European nations and India," an analyst said.
Referring to the visit by Madhesi CA members he said, "This situation shows that the nation is on the verge of disintegration. Indian immigrants will establish a federal state in south, while Tibetans will do so in the northern parts. Then an agitation will be launched for regional rights over water, land and jungles, the agitation will be suspended in condition for a regional referendum and to legally disintegrate Nepal through a referendum. The Nepali parties are well aware of this, but they are pretending as if they know nothing."According to Janadharana weekly, it has received information that a British citizen named Tom Linton arrived in the capital in the recent past from America. He stayed at Annapurna Hotel in Durbar Marg and organized a meeting of anti-Chinese activists for two days before returning back to the US. The British national had also held a meeting at Kathmandu Guest House in Thamel, in which Nepali nationals were also there, according to a source.
