The main opposition is preparing to obstruct the meeting claiming that Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, during his four-day visit to India, made a statement against the interest of the country.
Prime Minister Dahal had made a controversial statement that the option of giving Kalapani, Limpiyadhura and Lipulekh to India can also be discussed if the direct route to Bangladesh is given to Nepal. He said so while speaking to Nepali journalists in New Delhi on Friday. A Parliamentary Party meeting of the UML held in New Baneshwor on Saturday had decided to seek answers from the Prime Minister in the Parliament regarding the issues like not being able to raise the border problem and discuss the EPG report during his visit to India. Prime Minister Dahal had said that a discussion on the new option has started to resolve the problem of Kalapani. During the government led by the then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, the Parliament of Nepal amended the Constitution and included Kalapani, Lipulek and Limpiyadhura in its map. The meeting concluded that the recent visit of the Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal to India was not fruitful, UML Parliamentary Party Chief Whip Padam Giri said.
