Kathmandu, May 9
Nepal Communist Party (NCP) spokesperson Narayan Kaji Shrestha has condemned India’s announcement on Friday to open a link road to Manasarovar, a popular Hindu pilgrimage site in Tibet of China, via a disputed area which both Nepal and India claim ownership over.
On his Twitter page, Shrestha expressed his views and condemned the move. He has also demanded that the government of Nepal make prompt decisions to address the controversy.
The link road passes through Gunji, which lies in the disputed region and both Nepal and India claim to be their land.
Indian Minister for Defence Rajnath Singh inaugurated the road link through a video conference on Friday.
The government of Nepal is yet to make any comment or decision regarding the issue.
