Tribute to Late I.K.Gujaral,Former Prime Minister of India

Former Prime Minister of India I.K.Gujral passed away,We are socked and bereaved by this news.It is an irreparable loss for both India and Nepal.He was a very loving leader who loved Nepal with more than his capacity.We Nepali are ever grateful for his contributions offered in solidifying the bonds of friendship between Nepal and India.
I am the testimony of his generosity for Nepal.I brought him in the state visit to Nepal. That time, I was acting ambassador in the Nepalese Embassy  at Delhi.I know how all were not very much agreeing with him for his attitude towards Nepal with respect to his  doctrine of Non-reciprocity.But he was a man of conviction, and had a clear vision, that a country like Nepal must enjoy this gesture by a capable country like India. India had and has its own problems, even though ,he thought it is its moral duty to support Nepal in all difficult times.And he did.
Doctrine of Non reciprocity,and,route granted from Fulwari to Bangladesh was not a joke or easy decision to take.India was afraid that time with Puraulia arm drops.But even in the midst of that it was a very sensitive gift given to Nepal by India, keeping risk for its own.But he did.We can't  forget his love and affections for Nepal.
I am very honored that that time that I was heading the Nepali Embassy, and all happened during my tenure.He had many times talked with me about this personally,ask many things regarding the wishes of people and real needs of the country.He was also aware of the fact about the Indian media comments that time, but what I can't forget during that time what he said -  a leader is he who sees that  is not seen by others.
Perhaps he wanted to underline that Nepal - Indian Relations can be compared with any other relations.
OUR RESPECTFUL HOMAGE TO HIM,MAY HIS DEPARTED SOUL REST IN PEACE.
