India said that it does not want to prescribe any model to Nepal over its Constitution and is only concerned about violence and instability in the neighbouring country that will affect India as well. Indian Ambassador to Nepal Ranjit Rae said in Kathmandu yesterday that the promulgation of the new Constitution after an exercise of 60-70 years was a big achievement for Nepal. He also dismissed reports that India is unhappy with the new Constitution in Nepal. <br/><br/>Mr Rae said, the only concern for India is that the Constitution should be acceptable to all sections and it should not bring instability and threaten peace, referring to the ongoing protests by Indian-origin Madhesi people who are opposed to splitting Nepal into seven provinces. The Ambassador said fanning anti-India sentiments would not serve Nepal's interest.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, the talks between Nepal government and Madhesi groups agitating over the country's new constitution yesterday ended inconclusively. However, Deputy Prime Minister Kamal Thapa said that the dialogue was moving in a positive direction. <br/><br/>Joint Democratic Madhesi Front, the main grouping of the Madhesi parties, however decided to continue their nearly three-month agitation, amid a severe shortage of fuel in the land-locked country. The Madhesi Front demanded that the main Opposition Nepali Congress be included in the next round of the talks.
