Kathmandu: Opposition politicians and independent analysts in Nepal have rejected the Maoist government's charge of Indian intervention in the country's internal affairs, terming it as "lack of political wisdom".
According to political analysts, the blame game by the Maoists displays a long prevalent tendency in the country to blame foreign countries, including India, for troubles in Nepal.
"This shows lack of political wisdom on the part of the Maoist leadership," said senior lawyer Dinesh Tripathi, adding, "there has been a tendency of blaming the neighbouring country for every rise and fall of governments in the past".
During his address to the nation while quitting government, Prime Minister Prachanda blamed foreign powers for the trouble in the country, pointing indirectly towards India.
I will better quit power than to bow to foreign powers to remain in the office, he said.
The Maoists' number two leader Baburam Bhattarai said that "India did a blunder" by supporting the army and the president in their unconstitutional acts.
Nepali Congress' chief whip in the Constituent Assembly, Laxman Ghimire, said the Maoists had themselves sought foreign support for their move to sack the Army chief.
