Kathmandu, December 28: The Netra Bikram Chand-led Nepal Communist Party (NCP) has objected to the agreement reached between officials of China and India in Beijing on December 18. Issuing a press release today, party general secretary Biplab objected to the agreement and said his party’s serious attention had been drawn to the issue.

“Our party’s serious attention has been drawn to the agreement reached between the officials of China and India on December 18 in Beijing to reopen the pilgrim and trade route through Lipulekh, which was closed due to COVID-19.

Stating that the House of Representatives of Nepal had already released a map incorporating Kalapani, Limpiyadhura and Lipulek Bhanjyang in 2077 BS, the party said that the China-India agreement reached without cooperating with Nepal in the agreement to use Nepal’s territory has encroached upon Nepal’s sovereign integrity. “China and India need to be as serious about Nepal’s integrity and independence as they are about their sovereignty”, Biplab has stated.

The NCP has also demanded the Government of Nepal revoke the agreement reached between India and China on December 18 and take necessary steps to protect the national integrity.
