KATHMANDU, July 9: It has been revealed that India has sent a diplomatic note to Nepal, protesting against Kathmandu’s decision to endorse through parliament a new political map that includes Kalapani, Lipu Lekh and Limpiyadhura, Nepali territories currently controlled and occupied by India.

With Nepali parliament unanimously passing the constitution amendment for a new political map in the national emblem, Nepal-India relation is on a new and uncharted territory. The amendment included territories controlled by India since the Sino-India war in 1962, the area known as Kalapani, also inclusive of Lipu Lekh and Limpiyadhura. The constitution revision was passed by over two thirds majority and without any dissent.
