Addressing a function in the capital on Thursday, Mehta argued that there was no point in planting flags in Lipu Lekh or creating disputes over the issue now.
Adding that he has possession of the map Rana had handed over to British government, he claimed that the map clearly shows that the disputed area does not fall in Nepali territory.
He also said that there is no point in disputing the issue as then foreign minister of Nepal Rishikesh Shah also admitted that the part was handed over to British India.
He said since Nepal and India have disputes not just over Lipu Lekh but also over Kalapani and other territories, the issues need to be resolved through diplomatic channels.
