Mid night Coup averted, Indian RAW, Congress-I backs ex-Nepal King

Telegraph Nepal

A great political turmoil, as the luck would have it, got averted.

The now sidelined King, Gyanendra Shah, was all set to stage a grand come back had the parties failed to extend the Constituent Assembly tenure.

Though the CA tenure has been extended through foul means yet the extension has averted the political disaster which was about to grip the country for some time to come.

High placed sources claim that the former King had already drafted a message to be addressed to the nation wherein he was supposed to have announced his taking over the charge of the nation once again.

Clearly, the message former King had drafted was all the handiwork of the visiting RAW officials, Alok Joshi.


Joshi, according to the high placed sources, had mainly come to Nepal with a single objective: To install the sidelined King in Nepali throne if the parties failed in extending the CA tenure.

Joshi stayed in Kathmandu for over a week.

A tentative message which was to be broadcast on May 28 late evening read like this: “We had abandoned the throne hoping that the political parties will act as per the aspirations of the people but we are pained to record that the political parties failed in their mission......”

This statement was about to be sent to various media houses late evening May 28, 2011. The message further stated that the sidelined King was hurt with the increasing confusion in the nation due to the failure in drafting the constitution and carrying the peace process to its logical end.

But the message could not materialise as the parties, which more or less smelt the dark chamber game, hastily arrived at a consensus and extended the CA tenure.

Must have been a great set back.

The Naya Patrika daily reports, 30 May, 2011, that even Dr. Karan Singh, the International Advisor of Mrs. Sonia Gandhi was specially sent to Kathmandu to extend his party’s unconditional support to the sidelined King.

The China factor.

Telegraph Nepal had already reported that the former King threw a lavish dinner in the honour of the visiting RAW top officials from India at his personal residence, Nirmal Niwas, May 27, 2011.

Those who enjoyed the ROYAL dinner were, AB Mathur, Alok Joshi, H. Khare, K. V. Rajan and possibly Dr. Karan Singh-the special emissary of Congress-I President, Sonia Gandhi.

Unsubstantiated reports have it that Gyanendra Shah had a secret meet with RAW second man-Alok Joshi for over one hour.

Mr. Joshi was some time back the RAW station chief in Kathmandu.

Those who met with the visiting Indian deities were, S. B. Thapa, Pasupati Rana and Kamal Thapa.

No wonder Mr. Rana has changed his political overtones and has begun pouncing upon the present day Nepali leaders whom he sees now as a bunch of power lust people.

The RAW activities in Nepal had begun, May 22, 2011.

Should this then mean that the Indian regime and the Indian intelligence agencies were in a mood to apologise for all what they did with Nepal King in the recent years?

Wisdom appears to have finally prevailed.
