KATHMANDU, Jan 12: The main opposition party, CPN-UML  has said its attention was drawn towards the Government of India's construction of various infrastructures in Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura area which are the inalienable territories of Nepal.

Dr Rajan Bhattarai, who heads the UML's Foreign Affairs Department, stated in a press release on Tuesday that Nepal has already made its legal and political stance clear on this matter through the political-administrative map and the constitution amendment last year itself.  He has also recalled that the Government of Nepal had also started diplomatic initiatives back then for bringing back these territories. 

"The serious attention of CPN-UML has been drawn to the Indian side's move to expedite the construction of infrastructures including roadway in the same Nepali territory in violation of the agreement reached in the meeting of the Nepal-India Joint Commission to settle the remaining border issues between the two countries through diplomatic means," reads the press release.  

The UML has also called on the Indian side to immediately stop such activities that infringe upon sovereignty, territorial integrity and dignity of Nepal. It has demanded immediate halt to the construction of structures including roads by India on Nepal's territory and finalize the topic through talks. No structures should be constructed from the state level until a solution is found on this matter through dialogue, the UML said.
