Nepal’s new Government on Wednesday came under attack from main Opposition CPN-UMl over reports that Premier Prachanda
sent a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that discusses the country’s “internal” matters including a constitutional amendment to address the demands of Madhesis.
The CPN-UMl of former prime minister KP Sharma Oli, viewed by many as pro-China, raised objections over the letter allegedly carried by Deputy Prime Minister Bimalendra Nidhi, who was on a visit to India as Prachanda’s special envoy from August 17 to 22.
“There are reports about sending a letter by PM Prachanda to Prime Minister Modi through the Deputy Prime Minister that discusses matters of our internal issues including Constitution amendment,” the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–leninist) alleged in a statement after the conclusion of its 43rd Central Committee meeting here.
