Communist Party MP Bishnu Bahadur Bishwakarma Demands PM Balendra Shah's Resignation

Kathmandu. Nepali Communist Party MP Bishnu Bahadur Bishwakarma has demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Balendra Shah. Speaking during a special time in the National Assembly meeting on Wednesday, he accused Prime Minister Shah of treason and demanded his immediate resignation from the post.

MP Bishwakarma accused the Prime Minister of giving fabricated, baseless, and dramatic statements in response to questions asked by MPs in the House of Representatives. He strongly objected to the Prime Minister's statement, 'Nepal has encroached upon India's land,' claiming it had no factual basis. He asserted that the Prime Minister's statement has severely damaged Nepal's territorial integrity and sovereignty, and that this statement is secessionist and surrenderist.

He demanded that the Prime Minister make public the exact details of which part of India, where, and how much land Nepal has encroached upon. He also challenged the Prime Minister to clarify which report this information is based on and to appear in the National Assembly with the relevant report to provide an answer.

Speaking at the meeting, MP Bishwakarma said, 'Instead of answering the questions asked by the MPs, the Prime Minister opened a bag of false information about unasked questions. After I became Prime Minister, I came to know that Nepalis have also encroached upon India's land, he said. He not only made true Nepalis feel ashamed with fabricated, baseless, and nakedly dramatic statements that were unknown to Nepal and India until now, and even to border experts, and unconfirmed by any source, but also committed treason by speaking against Nepal's interests. I strongly object to and condemn the Prime Minister's secessionist statement.'

He added, 'The Prime Minister has acted in a way that damages territorial integrity and sovereignty. Such a traitorous Prime Minister has no right to cling to that chair. The secessionist and surrenderist Prime Minister must resign immediately. I want to ask Prime Minister Balendra Shah, Prime Minister, in which places and how much land has Nepal encroached upon in India? I demand exact figures standing in the National Assembly. Which report is the data you obtained based on? Please appear in the National Assembly with that report and provide an answer.'

MP Bishwakarma also accused the Indian Armed Border Force (SSB) of interfering in Nepali land in the Susta region, instigated by the Prime Minister's statement. According to him, the construction work has currently been obstructed because the Indian side has pressured to stop the construction of the embankment being built on the Narayani River. He stated that obstructing Nepal's development work by using foreign forces is another act of treason and naked subservience.

Stating that relations between Nepal and India are currently strained, Bishwakarma referred to the Prime Minister sending his party chairman to India as a 'flatterer' as an envoy. He mentioned that India is interfering in Nepal by operating a trade route with China in the Lipulekh region. Claiming that India has occupied 6,262 hectares of Nepal's land, MP Bishwakarma clarified that Nepal has never encroached upon any country's land in history.
