KATHMANDU, Sept 28: Supporters of Nepal’s king hurled stones at the vehicle of a seven-member delegation of Indian politicians as they arrived in the Himalayan kingdom on Wednesday on a fact-finding mission, witnesses said.
The politicians, representing the ruling Congress party and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) among others, are part of the first high-level Indian delegation to visit Nepal since King Gyanendra seized power in February.
As they arrived at the airport, hundreds of protestors waved black flags, hurled stones at their vehicle and shouted slogans such as ‘Stop Indian interference in our internal affairs’.—AFP
