What primarily transpired between the Prime Minister of Nepal and Mr Shiva Shankar Menon during his last trip to Kathmandu (June 20-21, 2009) could be a matter of curiosity for all the Nepali citizens.

Here is just an excerpt of communication between the two.  

Immediately after his arrival in Kathmandu, the Indian foreign secretary met with the Prime Minister of Nepal, Mr. Madhav Kumar Nepal.

Mr. Menon got stunned when the Nepal Prime Minister first told the visiting Indian secretary that his daughter Ms. Suman Nepal has the inner penchant to accomplish her MD degree at the AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi).

Ms. Nepal was awarded free scholarship by the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu to accomplish her MBBS studies at the AIIMS. She recently returned home completing her education at one of the best medical schools in South Asia.

“The Prime Minister repeatedly asked the Indian foreign secretary if such an arrangement could be made for his daughter”, writes Tarun vernacular weekly, June 29, 2009.

Menon was pretty annoyed that the Nepal PM was concentrating on something irrelevant and not talking on issues of Indian interests.

“The Indian foreign secretary advised his one of the aides to talk to the Indian Embassy immediately”, writes Tarun.

“She does not meet the required criteria”, replied the aide adding “thus her application could not be processed”.

No wonder King Gyanendra did not award him the PMship despite his application. However, I know cases of GPK, LBC and SBDeupa who under the capacity of PM have litterally begs indian establishment for scholarship for their kin and kith. Maoist also did the same as well. Om Shanti. Kaplivastu, nepal

aslpl is correct. MaKuNay also used his connection to get his daughter's MBBS seat at the Indian Embassy. I know that for sure. I think his current mentality is "Using power for personal benefits while it lasts for some more weeks"

"Ms. Nepal was awarded free scholarship by the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu to accomplish her MBBS studies at the AIIMS." This is bogus reporting. This scholarship was stolen as well. The topper at Indian Embassy gets this scholarship to AIMS and i am "barai ana" sure she was not topper.

If this news is true, it will not be give good messase to Indian government. How PM is concerntrating the family atmosphere than national issue. But it might be not appropritate b y media. But any way Nepal has broad vision I did not believe he was concentrating to his own prosperity.

ha ha ha, why he needs scholarship now for his daughter? What will happen to all the money he will earn through corruption? IT could be a trick to impress the people by hinting that he is corruption free. IT is really sad and funny what my motherland has come to. Now i sincerely request His Majesty to act ASAP to safeguard Nepal from these goons. And these are supposed to be the ministers of so called New Nepal. Shocking!
