Kathmandu, December 6
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence Ishwar Pokharel says the current government cannot be blamed for a recently surfaced border dispute with India and other related issues as they were there before the government took over.
Receiving a delegation of some activists at his ministry on Friday, the DPM says the problem was a ‘legacy’ of the previous governments.
“Some people have begun talking like this problem was created during this government’s reign,” he said, “But, the border dispute was there in the past also.” Pokharel, however, maintained that the current government had a historic opportunity to correct the error.
On the occasion, the activists handed over the minister a map which they claim is the real map of the country.
