Kathmandu, August 27
Nepali Congress lawmaker Pradeep Giri has said that the recently held meeting of the Nepal India Joint Commission was pointless. Speaking at the House of Representatives meeting on Monday, Giri said that the information about the meeting provided by Foreign Minister Pradeep Gyawali and his ministry did not match.
Giri said that Minister Gyawali in his briefing had said that issues regarding Kalapani, Lipulekh and the Sugauli Treaty were discussed during the meeting. “But, the statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not mention any of that,” Giri said.
Giri further questioned why the commission hadn’t revised the treaty until now. He also accused the people in the government for failing to understand diplomacy.
