India-Nepal broke rules to resolve border dispute after passing disputed map

• Proposal for amendment of disputed map

India has reacted to the disputed map of Nepal’s parliament. The Ministry of External Affairs has said that Nepal’s claim is not based on historical facts or evidence nor does it make any sense. The claim made by Nepal is not valid.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Anurag Shrivastava said that this step of Nepal is a violation of the rule of settling the border dispute by negotiation. Anurag Shrivastava said that we have noticed that the proposal to amend the map has been passed in the Parliament of Nepal. We have already clarified our position on this matter.

Please tell that a proposal has been proposed to amend the disputed map in the Parliament of Nepal on Saturday. The new map includes all three parts of India – Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura. The Nepali parliament with 275 members cast 258 votes in favor of this controversial bill.

What is the whole matter

Relations between India and Nepal are strained due to the border dispute. On 8 May, the road constructed from Lipulekh to Dharachula was inaugurated by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh. After this Nepal protested, stating Lipulekh as its part. On 18 May, Nepal released a new map. In this, three areas of India called Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura and Kalapani as their share.

This revised map of Nepal was released by the Ministry of Land Resources at the meeting of Nepal Cabinet. Cabinet members present in the meeting supported it. This move of Nepal started to break the friendship between India and Nepal. India has consistently opposed it.

Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli had accused India of illegal possession. They also claimed that they would take back their land. On 11 June, Nepal’s cabinet constituted a committee of 9 people. The land which Nepal has been claiming for so many days and is creating a dispute with India. Nepal has no proof of its authority on that land.
