indiaUpdated: Jun 11, 2020 01:19 ISTNepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Wednesday criticised Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath for his remarks on a border row, saying the Indian leader should be advised not to make “threatening” remarks. Oli’s remarks were the latest twist in the border dispute between India and Nepal, which erupted last month when Kathmandu protested against the opening of an 80-km road running to Lipulekh on the border with Tibet. Nepal claims the Lipulekh region and the Oli government recently published a new political map that shows the area as part of Nepalese territory. During a recent interview, Adityanath had said Nepal should not “repeat the mistake of Tibet” while determining its political boundaries. He said Nepal is confident about getting its territory back though diplomatic dialogue as its claims are backed by evidence.
