Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Wednesday once again spoke about India, this time on the presence of Indian forces in Kalapani, comments by Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh (UP) Yogi Adityanath on his country and also the increased influx of COVID-19 infection from its southern neighbour. Nepal considers Kalapani as its own territory along with Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura and last month issued a new map showing the Indian territories as its own drawing New Delhi's ire. Speaking in the Nepali Parliament, PM Oli said, "The territory has been separated from us by the stationing of Indian forces and due to Indian Army's deployment, access is being denied to us." On Tuesday, Nepal's lower house unanimously backed a constitutional amendment bill that will amend Nepal's political map in the coat of arms. Once passed by the 2/3rd majority in the lower house after 72 hours, it will go to the upper house -the national assembly where the same procedure will be followed.
