India wants to see peace and prosperity in Nepal. We also believe that Nepal must have democracy and human rights. If Nepal has peace, India too will benefit. Nepal is a sovereign nation therefore what is good and bad is something for Nepalis to decide. India fully supports those forces that work together for the reinstatement of democracy in Nepal. It is for the people and the political forces of Nepal to decide what they want. All India can do is support such a decision. When I recently visited Nepal, I met leaders of political parties and civil society. This is what I said in an interaction program: when people associated with the Shiva Sena and World Hindu Federation visit Nepal and speak in support of the king, the government (of Nepal) does not call it foreign interference. But whenever we visit Nepal and express our solidarity for democracy, they call it interference. I wish Nepal's government would do away with its mentality of seeing any foreign dissenting voice as external interference. All we wish is to see democracy continuing in Nepal. The country has no alternative but to embrace democracy. All powers in Nepal should initiate dialogue toward that end. The Nepali people long to see peace. To fulfil their desire, the king should begin talks with the parties. India still supports a multiparty democracy in Nepal that includes constitutional monarchy. The king should stop direct rule and remain as a constitutional monarch but it is for the people to decide if they need the monarchy or not.
