KRISHNA-PRACHANDA 3LST

Prachanda, who resigned as prime minister in May last
year after his move to sack the then Army Chief R Katawal was
thwarted, has been stalling the peace process and critical of
India.
"We want to develop good relations with India, not
with old basis but new basis. Without creating the new basis,
it is very difficult to strengthen relations with India,"
Prachanda told reporters.
He contended that people of Nepal want change in its
policies. "We have to develop a new foreign policy and
particularly our party wants to develop a new basis to have a
good relations with India."
Prachanda said he was raising "concerns" related to
the Friendship Treaty issue, border matters and economic
development "not to disturb the relation with India but to
create a more positive, more scientific basis for relations
with India." PTI
