Formal objection has been already conveyed, says its Foreign Minister
Kathmandu on Tuesday formally objected to reports of the BJP allegedly planning to expand its presence in neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka and Nepal. Foreign Minister of Nepal Pradeep Kumar Gyawali announced the move on social media after Chief Minister of Tripura Biplab Kumar Deb quoted Home Minister Amit Shah saying the BJP will soon form governments in Sri Lanka and Nepal.
“Noted. Formal objection has been already conveyed,” said Mr. Gyawali on social media after people demanded Nepal to take steps against the assertions by Mr. Deb. This is the first high level statement from Nepal after Mr. Deb’s comments were first reported on Monday.
