KATHMANDU, Sept 30: The Legislature-Parliament of Nepal that kept mum on the six-month-long Indian blockade on Nepal has raised the issue of Pakistan-India dispute on Friday.
Nepal being the SAARC chair should initiate peace talks to resolve the dispute underway between Pakistan and India, said the lawmakers.
Let’s live in peace and embrace diversity
Speaking at the Parliament, Nepali Congress Lawmaker of Mahottari district Sitaram Bhandari said that Nepal, in the capacity of SAARC chair, should initiate peace talks between India and Pakistan.
“Both India and Pakistan are our intimate neighbors since ancient time. They are on a war footing now. They should take up the path of Buddha by giving up the path of war. Nepal, as the SAARC chair, should play roles to bring them on board the peace talks,” Bhandari said.
Two Pakistani soldiers were killed in a ‘surgical strike’ carried out by Indian soldiers on Thursday night.
