A senior Maoist leader has accused Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh of delaying the peace talks in Nepal, Nepal News has reported. According to the daily Rajdhani, Matrika Yadav, chairman of the Maoists' Madhesi National Liberation Front (MNLF), said that Indian authorities have brought down pressure upon Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala resulting in the delay in the fruitful talks. Yadav, addressing the first convention of MNLF in Bhairahawa on November 1, said, "The key of the talks is in the hands of Indian PM." He further revealed that Maoist chairman Prachanda had recently met with the Indian Ambassador to Nepal Shiv Shankar Mukherjee to “untie the knot.” Accusing India of frequently interfering in Nepal's internal affairs, Yadav said, "The capitalists from all over the world have gathered in New Delhi to make Maoists unsuccessful." He further accused that US Ambassador James Moriarty, too, had recently visited New Delhi with the same purpose. Yadav also accused Prime Minister Koirala as being “a pawn in the hands of India.”

The Maoist chief Prachanda said that the historic agreement between the SPA and his party has, in essence, put the monarchy virtually under the state of suspension until constituent assembly polls and made clear that the Prime Minister of the interim government would be de facto head of state. Addressing his first official press conference in the capital Kathmandu on November 8-evening, Prachanda said the letter of the agreement, which states that the King shall be kept powerless-- without any kind of resources-- “means, in essence, that the monarchy remains under the state of suspension until the verdict of the constituent assembly”. “The Prime Minister of the interim government will be de facto head of state,” he said, mentioning that Girija Prasad Koirala would also lead the interim government inclusive of the Maoists. Prachanda announced that he, along with two other senior leaders - Baburam Bhattarai and Ram Bahadur Thapa ‘Badal’ - would not join the interim government and that the party had not yet decided who would be leading the party in the interim government.

"When we initiated the armed movement against the corrupt rule in Nepal (in 1996)," Prachanda had said, "ISI-type people offered us money and arms assistance. I resisted and our council agreed to refuse the assistance because we felt our movement would lose its Nepali-people-centric approach," Prachanda said, explaining his reasons for turning down such assistance.

On the issue of Indo-Nepal relations, Prachanda said that he wants to develop relations with India on new basis. "Certainly, there is some psychological feeling of insecurity among the people of Nepal and they also look at 1950 Treaty from that perspective. However, since India's positive role during the signing of the 12-point agreement last year in New Delhi, Nepali people's psychology is also changing. Furthermore, the decision of New Delhi to abandon its two-pillar theory of supporting constitutional monarchy and multiparty democracy has also helped in changing Nepali people's attitude towards India. I think a new relation can be developed on the basis of this change."

Disagreeing with the report, two commissioners refused to sign it. Ram Prasad Shrestha and Kiran Shrestha said they will hand over their written disagreement on the report to the Prime Minister. "The report has acquitted the high-ranking officials but has recommended action against the people who implemented orders on the ground," Shrestha has been quoted as saying in the local media.

A senior Maoist leader, Baburam Bhattarai, has accused the government of dilly dallying in the promulgation of interim constitution, formation of interim parliament and interim cabinet, according to Nepal News. Bhattarai claimed that the Maoists were ready to discuss and promulgate the interim constitution. He accused that the government was not forthcoming to talk on this issue even though the November 8 timeline had fixed November 26 as the date for promulgating interim constitution. Talking to Kantipur Television, Bhattarai has also accused that "a certain element" is actively working to prolong and linger the peace process with the aim of derailing the elections to Constituent Assembly. "We have seen this element active during the negotiations that led to November 8 agreement and also during the signing of Comprehensive Peace Agreement," he said. Bhattarai, however, refused to point out the element. "This is not the right time to expose the element. We will do so when needed," he added.
