INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Kathmandu, May 10
Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba issued a press release stating that Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh and Kalapani
belonged to Nepal.
He urged the government to take immediate high-level initiative to resolve the dispute over inauguration by India of the
link road connecting Pithoragarh to Lipulekh building a shorter route to Kailash Mansarovar.
&The Nepali Congress has always been clear that
mere statements cannot address an issue as large as nationalism and efforts must lead to results,& Deuba said.
He said the Sushil
Koirala-led government had protested the agreement reached between India and China on Lipulekh in 2015.
He said the government should
proceed to find a solution through diplomatic efforts and his party would stand with the government on matters of national interest.
