Petition: Humanitarian Crisis in Nepal
We, the undersigned, petition government of India under PM Modi:
-
to remove the
2-month long blockade along the India-Nepalese border.
-
We demand that Delhi recognizes and respects the new
Constitution of Nepal.
-
Who demand that India refrains from mixing in the
internal affairs of Nepal in the lowland
Terai area (Madeshi Issue). India also backed out of the Tamil-issue in
Sri Lanka and it is expected that Delhi should refrain from such political involvements
in Nepal.
-
We demand that Delhi recognizes Nepal’s sovereignty as
an independent nation, and should be respected. Nepal is not comparable to
India’s military protectorate Bhutan. Nepal stands is a landlocked country but
has always stood on its own feel and was never colonialised.
-
We emphasize that India should continue the formerly
existing good cultural and economic relations
and not exert power-play as a regional superpower and make its military and
political clout felt in the region. Both India and Nepal were Hindu nations at
the beginning and both have chosen to be secular, which is a good thing.
.
Because of the Indian blockade, Nepal’s people are suffering a lot due to
lack of fuel: transportation has come to a standstill, people who want to
return home to Nepal cannot do so because the buses and planes are grounded.The
social services and ngos activities have been disrupted, hospitals are running
out of medication, and according to unicef 1,6 million Nepalese children cannot
go to school due to transport difficulties caused by the blockade. Nepal is a country which had to suffer from
the tectonically caused earthquake where thousands were injured, died and
became homeless and the Indian government must take all these factors into
consideration, and remove the blockade immediately.
