India Thursday said that it would fully support Nepal in its bid to conduct the April Constituent Assembly polls in a free, fair and peaceful manner.
According to a leading website, eKantipur.com report, Indian Ambassador to Nepal Shiv Shankar Mukherjee informed that talks had been held between high-level representatives of both countries to put border security on high alert during the polls and mentioned that the Indian government would control any criminal activity aimed at disrupting the April 10 polls.
While not dismissing the possibility of the armed agitating groups in the southern Nepal's Terai region creating obstructions to peaceful elections, Mukherjee said that he was optimistic about the ongoing efforts to bring the armed groups to the negotiating table.
When asked if the talks would be held inside the Indian embassy, he said he would welcome talks no matter where they were held if they ended positively. Source:Xinhua
