Meanwhile, the Nepalese Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala addressing press personnel, on April 10, in Kathmandu, voiced concern about a lack of involvement of the Nepalese army in counter-insurgency operations. According to him, "I am sorry to say that the same Nepali army is going to other countries (on UN peacekeeping missions), but they are not involving themselves here. Technically, the army should go and involve themselves (in the Maoist-affected districts)." According to news reports this is the first time that Premier has spoken publicly about the army’s role and its refusal to be deployed in Maoist-affected districts despite the urgings of the elected government. According to analysts the Premier has been trying to convince the Nepalese King Birendra to allow the use of the army in several rural western districts where the Maoists have increased their attacks in recent days. According to the Constitution of Nepal, deployment of the army would require an endorsement from the King as per the recommendation of the National Security Council (NSC) comprising the Defence Minister, Prime Minister and Chief of Army Staff.

The Nepalese government on April 13 expelled the senior Pakistani diplomat Mohammad Arshad Cheema who was arrested in connection with the seizure of explosives from a house in Kathmandu on April 12. According to a Nepalese Foreign Ministry spokesperson "Since it is incompatible with his diplomatic duties and inconsistent with the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations HMG (His Majesty's Government of Nepal) has decided that Mr Cheema should leave the country within 24 hours". Meanwhile, news reports have said that Pakistan had demanded the immediate release of Cheema while blaming "elements hostile to Pakistan-Nepal friendship" as being responsible for the incident. A press release by the Pakistani embassy in Kathmandu said that "It has been repeatedly urged to the Nepalese authorities that such an action constitutes a clear violation of the Vienna Convention and that adherence to its provisions is in the interest of the conduct of diplomatic relations between states". It was the second incident in over a year that a Pakistan Embassy official has been ordered to leave Nepal. In January 2000, Nepal had expelled a junior official from the Pakistan embassy in Kathmandu for his alleged role in exchanging fake Indian currency notes.

Bhutanese refugee leaders submitted a 12-point memorandum on August 18, to Finance Minister Ram Sharan Mahat who is to lead Nepal’s delegation for the 11th round of bilateral talks with Bhutan on the refugee problem. The talks are scheduled to begin from August 20 in Kathmandu. Issuing a press statement on August 18 in Kathmandu, refugee leaders expressed concern over the slow pace of the verification exercise being carried out by the Joint Verification Team (JVT) in the past three months. The statement demanded that the JVT’s quicken the pace by verifying at least 50 families a day instead of the ten families being verified each day currently. Similarly, the Statement demanded that the two governments should publicly announce the status of the 5,957 refugees whose verification process is over. The Statement also called on the Nepalese government to form a task-force and an appeal court to decide on the problems of those refugees not verified as Bhutanese citizens. It further requested the government to seek a clarification from Bhutan on the ban imposed on refugees’ return. The Bhutanese National Assembly (Tshogdu) is reported to have imposed such a ban during recent deliberations.

Speaking at Kathmandu on October 11, former Prime Minister and Chairman of Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), Surya Bahadur Thapa said the dilly-dallying of the ongoing government-Maoist talks would create a favourable environment for the rise of "terrorism" in the country. He claimed that "The terrorists are utilising the extended time of the government-Maoists talks in their benefit at the cost of the national interest". He added that these terrorists would dismantle all state mechanisms and structures if the dialogue were delayed. He claimed that "The Maoists have escalated kidnapping, killing, looting and extortion spree and the government has become mute spectator to this. The government does not know any measure to stop such things except merely requesting them not to do so." He also warned that if the government only goes on doing the "politics of request" and does not initiate any concrete steps, every government will be dysfunctional and the state will finally loose.

The third round of talks between delegations of the Nepalese government and Maoist insurgents held at Lalitpur, concluded on November 13, without any concrete decisions but agreed to resume the next round of talks in near future. The two sides also agreed to further empower the Nepalese people through drastic changes in society. There was disagreement on the means to achieve this goal with the government side holding that these changes could be bought through the present Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal, while the Maoists representatives stuck to the demand that a Constituent Assembly be convened to further ensure people’s rights. The government’s chief representative Chiranjibi Wagle, said that with the Maoists having dropped their demand for a republic, there was no need for a constituent assembly as the present constitution had provisions for fundamental rights, people’s sovereignty, freedom and impartial judiciary. However, the Maoist chief negotiator Krishna Bahadur Mahara said, "The Constituent Assembly is our minimum demand, and (we) will not accept anything less than this." The Maoists chief representative also alleged that that the government did not fulfil its announcement of releasing the 68 Maoists detainees who are still in the custody. He added that "We clearly demanded that the government withdraw its army and armed police force from different districts." The government side asked that Maoist leaders to circulate an effective direction to their workers for an immediate stoppage of their forceful activities, which, the government side said, have been continuing despite the Maoists’ public commitment to stop such activities.

Speaking in the capital Kathmandu, Deuba said, on November 22, that because Maoist leader Comrade Prachanda withdrew from the ceasefire and peace talks, the Maoist party and its leaders have betrayed the nation and the people.
