NEPAL MUST BACK OFF

-

India is facing multi-pronged attack from its neighbours. The artificial enlargemen­t of the map by Nepal’s parliament is untenably flawed and there is likelihood that this move was contrived at the behest of some other country. India and Nepal share deep cultural ties and both nations have majorly been on friendly terms, but now it has confronted India on land claims without negotiatin­g. Nepal should avoid riding roughshod on India’s moderate conversati­onal stances and remember its hard-hitting action on the ground, especially when keeping its sovereignt­y intact without yielding even an inch of land to any tactical pressure along the border.
