KATHMANDU, May 19: Rabindra Mishra, the senior vice-chairman of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), has criticized a US State Department report on religious freedom that claims India’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been funding political parties in Nepal to promote the demand to revive Nepal as a Hindu nation. “It is very unfortunate to note that a highly responsible institution like the US State Department has come out with some serious allegations regarding Nepal entirely based on hearsay,” Mishra has said in a statement posted on his social media accounts.
