India's concerns taken seriously, says Nepal PM

Kathmandu, Jan 20 (PTI) Amid India's concerns over use of
Nepalese soil by ISI and other anti-India elements, Prime
Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal has said such apprehensions are
being taking seriously but made it clear that an Extradition
Treaty would have to wait for political stability here.

He asserted that his government will not allow Nepal to
be used for activities against India and would act whenever
there is information about it.
"Sensitivity of India is being taken seriously by
Government of Nepal," he told PTI in an interview here.
"We assure India that land of Nepal will not be allowed
to be used against India. So any sort of terrorist activity
will not be allowed here," Nepal said.
Talking about fake currency rackets, he said whenever
there is any information, the people behind it are arrested.
"There have been cases where we detected and arrested," he
said.
The comments come in the backdrop of India's concerns
that ISI and other elements are using Nepal and open borders
for carrying out anti-India activities like terrorism and fake
currency smuggling.
On the possibility of Extradition Treaty being signed,
Nepal said, "We have to wait till political stability in
Nepal. There are some (in Nepal) who have reservation."
India has been pushing for the Treaty as it would allow
transfer of those engaged in activities against it. (MORE) PTI
