Nepal's Maoist PM received warm welcome:Indian Maoists killed six policemen in Chhattisgarh
When Nepal’s Maoist prime minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai was accorded warm red carpet welcome in India, Indian Maoist rebels killed six policemen in an ambush in Bastar district of Chhattisgarh.
Although Nepal’s Maoist and seven parties signed peace agreements five years ago paving the way for Maoist to led the government, Nepal’s peace process is now in limbo and it is uncertain whether it will conclude or not.
"Your life has been one of struggle and sacrifice. You have fought against the status quo, and today you have joined the mainstream of Nepal's political life," said Indian prime minsier Dr. Manmohan Singh in his banquet speech haling Nepal's Maoist rebel leader Baburam Bhattarai. " Excellency, your association with India goes back to your student days at the College of Architecture in Chandigarh, the School of Planning and Architecture and then the Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi."
Nepal’s Maoist leaders repeatedly assured Indian that their brand of Maoism has nothing to do with Indian Maoism but Indian security officers are very much concerned ideological alliance between them.
BIPPA ‘anti-national’ agreement : Khanal
CPN-UML has objected to the Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (BIPPA) signed Friday between Nepal and India.
The agreement will harm Nepali nationalism, sovereignty, national integrity and economy; the party said, and warned to launch stern agitation against the agreement.
The agreement was signed at the presence of Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai and his Indian counterpart Dr. Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on Friday during the four-day official visit of the PM.
CPN-UML Chairman Jhalanath Khanal objected to it while addressing a program organized by the Naya Naikap Village Party Committee on the occasion of the festivals of Bijaya Dashami, Deepawali and Chhath and Nepal Sambat new year.
He asked what nationalism was this of Dr. Bhattarai who said he will not sign any agreements in the country and signed it after reaching India. Khanal said the PM, who was never tired of speaking on nationalism, had his nationalism over and done with, after he reached India.

BIPPA agreement protects Nepal's interest: PM
Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai has said that the Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (BIPPA), signed between India and Nepal on Friday, was a milestone for the development of Nepal.
Stating that the agreement had opened the path for Indian investment in Nepal, Bhattarai clarified that the agreement was inked for the prosperity of the country.
Speaking to the selected CEO’s of Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI) and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in an interaction at Hotel Leela in New Delhi, Saturday morning, Bhattarai said he had taken a calculated political gamble by signing the deal for the welfare of the country, despite knowing the deal would spark criticism in the country.
PM Bhattarai stated he took a risky step for the development of the country saying that a successful leadership was impossible without inviting risks.
Nepal and India signed three agreements, including the BIPPA, yesterday.
Urging the Indian entrepreneurs to invest in Nepal, PM Bhattarai said, “I assure you to create an investment-friendly environment once you identify the project.”

Foreign interference in Nepal is unacceptable to Indian
News
Excellency, your association with India goes back to your student days at the College of Architecture in Chandigarh, the School of Planning and Architecture and then the Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi.
Your life has been one of struggle and sacrifice. You have fought against the status quo, and today you have joined the mainstream of Nepal's political life.
We are very happy to see you guide the destiny of Nepal, a close friend and neighbour, at this important juncture.
India and Nepal share bonds of kinship and cooperation that are defined by geography and enriched by history. Our peoples have travelled across open borders for decades. Generations of Indians and Nepalese have grown up taking this freedom of movement for granted.
We owe it to our people to build upon this foundation for the development, progress and prosperity of both our countries. The peoples of our countries are extremely talented, enterprising and have a remarkable ability to cope with adversity. Our region therefore has great potential and the time has come for us to realise this potential through cooperative effort.
India has long considered it a privilege to join Nepal in its plans for economic and social development. We both face the same challenge of development. It is in our enlightened self interest that we work in harmony and conduct our affairs with complete transparency. We must understand that by helping each other we only help ourselves. Our prosperity, security and welfare are interlinked.
