TGW - Reportedly, men in hundreds affiliated to some political parties in India have intruded upon Nepali territory and hoisted Indian flags and chanted anti-Nepal slogans.

The incident took place in Bhramadev area, Mahendranagar-9 close to the Indian border in Nepal, January 1, 2008.

“The land is a disputed territory…it does not belong to Nepal”, the Indians were howling, add reports.

At exactly 3:00 PM yesterday, the political party cadres had entered into the Nepali territory from the nearby Tanakpur barrage. They by the side of the barrage chanted anti-Nepal slogans for over half an hour, say reports. More interestingly, police officers and some local government administrators from the Indian side encouraged the party cadres while crossing the international border.

However a sovereign Nepali could not resist this Indian highhandedness obviously except for their leaders. This they did exactly with courage and valor. The local population stopped the intruders and chanted anti-India slogans, shamefully the Seven Party Alliance leaders’ controlled local administration kept its stoic silence.

Later, the Indians started pelting stones at the Nepali citizens who had arrived at the scene to accost the intruders. “Some were injured seriously while confronting the Indian intruders. That obviously was enough for the Nepalese to lose their patience; they too resorted to pelting stones and the two way attack on each other continued for over fifteen minutes”.

In the meantime, India’s Border Security Force had already held their firing position towards the Nepali side.

The Indian establishment was already informed of this stunt led by the political cadres as the BSF men were told to take their position in the area, say local reports. More than one hundred fifty BSF men were already stationed in the area, say locals.

Analysts’ claim that the intrusion of the Indian political party cadres into the Nepali territory have come on the very first day of the year 2008 as a gift to the India tilted Nepal’s Loktantrik leaders who were brought back to power after the blessings of their masters seated in India.
