Parliament of Nepal passes a controversial amendment

The Nepalese parliament on Saturday passed an amendment which claims some areas of Lipulekh, Kalapani and Limpiyadhura along India’s border as its own.

In a statement issued earlier in May this year, the Official Spokesperson Mr. Anurag Srivastava had said, “The Government of Nepal has released a revised official map of Nepal today that includes parts of Indian Territory. This unilateral act is not based on historical facts and evidence. It is contrary to the bilateral understanding to resolve the outstanding boundary issues through diplomatic dialogue. Such artificial enlargement of territorial claims will not be accepted by India”.

On Saturday 14/6/2020 India has rejected the Nepalese claim and said that this unilateral move is not based on historical facts or evidence and that this move closed any doors for talks on the issue.

The ties between India and Nepal have already been weakened and the Government of Nepal under Prime Minister Oli is not doing enough to set the tracks in right motion. Earlier the Nepalese had accused India for increasing their national coronavirus count.

A few months ago Indian Army Chief General Naravane had said that Nepal’s strident objections to a new road being built in Uttarakhand is “at the behest of someone else”, giving hint that it might be the work of China.

Until now solution to this problem is ascertain and only through mutual understanding and dialogue this affair can be resolved.
