By Our Reporter  Activists of different political parties are, of late, demonstrating in Kathmandu and other cities against the Millennium Challenge Corporation grant that the US government has agreed to provide Nepal for the expansion of the transmission lines and to build roads. The demonstrators even staged a protest in front of the US Embassy in Kathmandu. Police arrested a few of the demonstrators. In Biratnagar and other cities, rallies have been organised against the MCC. Interestingly, the student organisations of the ruling parties and even a few NC leaders have opposed the MCC. The involvement of the leaders and cadres of the ruling parties in the anti-MCC demonstrations has increased the risk of dividing the ruling alliance. The Maoist Centre, one of the key parties in the ruling alliance is strongly opposing the MCC. Its chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal the other day said that the MCC could not be endorsed as it is now. It is noteworthy to mention here that MCC was one of the causes for the spilt in the then Nepal Communist Party as the Maoists as well as a few UML leaders like Bhim Rawal strongly opposed the MCC which the then Prime Minister Oli wanted to endorse from the parliament. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said that the decision on Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) would be taken in coordination with the major political parties of the Federal Parliament. Addressing a meeting of the parliamentary party of the Nepali Congress (NC) on Tuesday, PM Deuba said that the government would hold consultations with other political parties before deciding on MCC. Deuba also clarified that the NC had signed MCC only after a detailed study." Gyanendra Bahadur Karki had signed the MCC in the capacity of Finance Minister in 2017 when Deuba himself was leading a coalition government. Stating that those against the nation's development had spread rumours about MCC, PM Deuba said, "In reality, as this aid is for the infrastructural development of the nation, the country must endorse it." Deuba had also directed only those lawmakers having intensive knowledge to make comments on MCC. Indian bullying on Nepal continues, Nepal sends two diplomatic notes  India has of late started exhibiting his elderly brotherly attitude against Nepal. After snapping a Tuin (ware bridge) through which Jaya Singh Dhami of Nepal crossing the Mahakali River on July 30, Indian helicopters have illegally flown over the sky of Nepal. The Indian Sashatra Seema Bal (SSB) the border guarding force of India, resorted to the heinous crime by cutting the Tuin and leading to the disappearance of Dhami in the Mahakali River. The Indian side has not apologized for the crime. Moreover, Nepal has delayed formally protesting against Indian bullying. Only over five weeks after the SSB committed the crime in the Mahakali, the government of Nepal sent a diplomatic note to India on Sunday seeking information and investigation into the July 30 Darchula incident in which Dhami, disappeared into the Mahakali after SSB man snapped a Tuin. The government has recently sent two diplomatic notes to India, one on the missing of Jaya Singh Dhami, a youth from Khaldang of Byas Rural Municipality in Darchula district, and another on the violation of international law by Indian choppers. Dhami, 33, had gone missing after he fell into the mightly Mahakali River after the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), the border guarding force of India, allegedly cut the cable while he was crossing it. According to a report of the probe committee formed by the Home Ministry, the SSB personnel were present at the site at the time of the accident. Responding to the demand made by the report, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had written to the Indian government through its embassy in Kathmandu. The notes were said to be handed over to the embassy a couple of days ago. A Foreign Ministry officials said that the notes were sent to the southern neighbour as per the recommendation of the report. Meanwhile, India has been claiming it is not officially aware of the incident. Govt objects to the burning effigy of Modi The Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) has said that serious attention of the government had been drawn to the activities of protests and the burning effigy of the Prime Minister of a friendly neighbouring country in Kathmandu. In a statement issued on Sunday, the ministry expressed serious objection to such outrageous and reprehensible activities. “The government of Nepal seeks to deepen bilateral relations with all friendly neighbouring countries and is committed to preventing any activities against any nation on the Nepali soil," the statement reads. The ministry has also made it clear that action will be taken against those who seek to take the law into their hands and engage in activities aimed at targeting the neighbouring countries. However, the statement drew flak from the public. A few days ago, the student wing of the Madhav Nepal-led CPN-Unified Socialists had burnt the effigy of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After the confirmation of the involvement of Indian SSB in the disappearance of Jay Singh Dhami of Darchula, students burnt PM Modi's dummy in protest of the incident.
