Kathmandu, November 6
Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s foreign affairs advisor Rajan Bhattarai has said that both Kalapani and Lipulekh are Nepali territories and added that the government’s stance is the same.
He says that PM Oli’s attention was drawn to the issue and claims the issue would be solved diplomatically.
“Kalapani and Lipulekh both are our territories. The Indian army, which has been there since the Sino-Indo war in 1962, should leave the area. We need to solve all these border disputes,” said Bhattarai at an event in Reporter’s Club today.
He added that the government was not going to let the issue go. However, he did add that these types of issues could only be solved by having diplomatic talks between Nepal and India.
“We should not act hastily. These are sensitive issues which will be dealt in an appropriate manner,” he said.
