Rastriya Prajatantra Party MP Criticizes Indian SSB Incursion into Nepali Land

Kathmandu. The opposition party Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) has objected to the unauthorized entry and intervention by the Indian Border Security Force (SSB) in Susta, West Nawalparasi. RPP MP Bharat Raj Giri drew the attention of the Parliament meeting to the incident where armed Indian SSB personnel entered Nepali land without permission in Tharu Tole, Susta Rural Municipality-5.

"There was no state presence there, our security personnel were not present, only our simple farmers who were plowing the land," Giri said, "who with their indomitable courage chased away the armed soldiers and proved that to protect the soil, it is not the uniform but the patriotism in the chest that is needed."

He expressed high respect for the courage of the people of Susta and praised the role they played in protecting the country even in the absence of the government.

MP Giri criticized the Prime Minister's recent statement, "We have also encroached on India's borders," saying, "Due to the Prime Minister's controversial statement, border interventions have increased. This is an insult to the brave farmers of Susta who are demonstrating loyalty to the nation by shedding blood and sweat at the border."

MP Giri demanded the government's stance on the security and national dignity of millions of Nepalis living along the approximately 1500 km long open border between Nepal and India.

"National dignity is not something limited to speeches, documents, and slogans, it is the courage to stand at the border, look the enemy in the eye, and defend our land," Giri said.

He stated that the government should prioritize border issues in all future diplomatic meetings, at a time when the Nepali people are struggling to protect areas like Kalapani, Lipulek, and Limpiyadhura."
