MEA, Nepal went into a damage control mode on Tuesday and clarified that PM Oli's remark on Ayodhya and Lord Ram were not aimed at hurting anyone's feeling. His ramarks are not linked to any political subject
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirath Kshetra Trust and saints in Ayodhya have strongly condemned Nepalese PM KP Sharma Oli’s statement that real Ayodhya was in Nepal and Lord Ram was born in Thori in southern Nepal.Chairman of Sri Ram Jamabhoomi Tirath Kshetra Trust Mahant Nritya Gopal Das on Tuesday urged Nepalese PM to keep lord Ram out of regional politics.“Lord Ram was a ‘Chakravarti’ emperor and Nepal was also part of his kingdom. Ties between India and Nepal are even older than history. His (Nepalese PM) comments are unfortunate,” added the chief priest.
Prime Minister Oli's contentious remarks come amid a row between the two countries over a revised political map that sees Nepal claim Indian territory - the Lipulekh Pass in Uttarakhand and the Limpiyadhura and Kalapani areas.Last month, Nepal cleared a constitution amendment bill to reflect new map in the national emblem kicking off boundary dispute with India.
Experts feels that such controversy has benn raised with a purpose so that attention of Nepalese people could be diverted.They see foreign hands behind such situation who wants to create deep tension between the two countries
