NEW DELHI, Oct 12: India on Thursday declined to comment on “internal political developments” in Nepal especially in the context of three Leftist parties coming together to take on the incumbent government there and said New Delhi has an “abiding interest” in peace and stability in the Himalayan nation.
“We do not comment on internal matters of Nepal. India has an abiding interest in peace, stability and economic prosperity of Nepal,” MEA spokesman Raveesh Kumar told reporters here.
He said: “As a close and friendly neighbour of Nepal, India will continue to extend all possible support to Nepal for peace, stability and accelerated development in accordance with the priorities of the people and the government in Nepal.”
The MEA spokesman was reacting to a question on how does India perceive the developments in Nepal wherein the three leftist parties, the UML, Maoist Centre led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal (or Prachanda) and the Naya Shakti led by Baburam Bhattarai agreed to contest the next two tier elections under the same political banner and eventually form a single communist party.
