CPN Bagmati Province Parliamentary Party Chief Whip Ratna Prasad Dhakal Demands PM Balendra Shah's Resignation

Hetauda. CPN Bagmati Province Assembly Parliamentary Party Chief Whip Ratna Prasad Dhakal has said that Prime Minister Balendra Shah should resign immediately. He said that Prime Minister Shah should resign, expressing objection to the statement made by Prime Minister Shah from the rostrum of the House of Representatives about Nepal encroaching on India's land.

Speaking in the Province Assembly meeting on Monday, MP Dhakal said that such an irresponsible statement from the country's leader and guardian is shocking and objectionable.

MP Dhakal demanded that Prime Minister Shah be made to resign and a treason case be filed against him. Chief Whip Dhakal said that the Prime Minister's statement in the Federal Parliament that Nepal has also encroached on India's border has seriously attacked national independence and integrity.

Citing data from border experts, Chief Whip Dhakal claimed that India has encroached on the border in 23 out of 26 districts bordering India. According to him, the border has been encroached upon at 71 places and 60,662 hectares of Nepali land has been encroached upon.

He said that most of these are in the Darchula district. MP Dhakal demanded that the Prime Minister's statement be removed from the records of the Federal Parliament and that the Bagmati Province Assembly should also pass a motion of regret against it.

“Either the Prime Minister must provide this evidence to the sovereign Federal Parliament and the Nepali people. Otherwise, apologizing is not enough. He must resign from his post. No one has the right to speak against national integrity. A case of traitor and treason should be filed against him,” he said, “Where did we encroach on India's border? India itself has encroached on the border in 23 districts. Indian security personnel (SSB) have been present in Kalapani since the 1962 Sino-Indian war, and they have kept the land from Limpiyadhura to Kalapani under their control.”
