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.
