Balendra Shah's recent comments about Nepal encroaching on Indian territory have revived a 200-year-old border dispute.
Nepal Prime Minister Balendra Shah’s remarks about border encroachment triggered a major political uproar in Parliament. The government later issued a clarification, citing technical factors related to shifting river boundaries.
Lawmakers from the Nepali Congress and the Nepal Communist Party demanded that the Prime Minister clarify where exactly Nepal has encroached upon Indian territory and sought the removal of his remarks from the record.
