New map unanimously approved by Parliament
The House of Representatives has unanimously approved the new political map of Nepal, which includes Limpiyadhura, Kalapani and Lipulek areas. The parliament sitting on Saturday unanimously passed the constitution amendment bill brought to change the mark as per the new map.
258 MPs were present in the meeting. Everyone has voted in favor of the constitution amendment bill. At the same time, Speaker Agni Sapkota announced that the Constitution Amendment Bill was passed by more than two-thirds of the votes.
Sarita Giri's amendment proposal rejected
The government had passed the new map on May 19 and made it public on May 20. The constitution amendment bill was registered in the Parliament Secretariat on August 26 to change the mark according to the new map.
India had made Ladakh a new state by separating it from Jammu and Kashmir. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) had rejected the unilaterally drawn map on November 7 after protests against it escalated in Nepal. The next day, Sher Bahadur Deuba, President of the Nepali Congress, the main opposition party, drew the attention of the Indian Ambassador.
An all-party meeting convened by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on November 8 concluded that one territory east of the Kali River, which is the source of Limpiyadhura, belongs to Nepal.
The Committee on State Management and Good Governance of the Parliament had directed the government to issue a new map of Nepal including Limpiyadhura, Kalapani and Lipulek. Border activists were putting the same pressure on the government.
The government, on the other hand, is still trying to reach a diplomatic dialogue. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli himself made a public statement that printing maps was not a big deal and that the main task was to bring back the encroached land.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent three diplomatic notes on the Kartikata border. Prime Minister Oli wanted to send a special envoy, but India ignored Nepal's every diplomatic initiative.
At the same time, the epidemic of Kovid-19 began. In the midst of the same epidemic, India intensified the border dispute by inaugurating a road to Mansarovar in Lipulek, which was built by encroaching on Nepali territory. Ignoring the lockdown, Nepalis surrounded the Indian embassy and started protesting.
The Nepali government objected to the Indian move and called for talks, but withdrew after the Kovid-19 epidemic. The outbreak in Nepal escalated after the epidemic did not stop the inauguration of the road built by encroaching on Nepali land but to communicate with Nepal.
Nepal unveils new map including Kalapani, Lipulekh & Limpiyadhura
The question arose in the parliament as to why the directive given by the parliamentary committee to issue the new map was not implemented. The parliamentary committee called the foreign and land reform ministers and put constant pressure.
According to leaders of the ruling Communist Party of Nepal (CPN), the government was still in favor of dialogue. In the India dialogue, Aiha was hoping to settle the issue of the map, the government said. However, instead of dialogue, India called its army chief a "Chinese instigator".
As a result, a meeting of the CPN (Maoist) Secretariat on 2 May decided to issue a new map of Nepal. According to a leader of the secretariat, Chief Secretary Lokdarshan Regmi, who was typing the government's policies and programs, was called and asked to add a new map including Limpiyadhura, Kalapani and Lipulek. Three days after the arrival of the policy and program, the government had made public a new map of Nepal extending to Limpiyadhura in the west by making a formal decision from the Council of Ministers.
