EXCERPT:
Nepal’s Prime Minister Balendra Shah has reignited a border dispute with India after claiming in parliament that Nepal has also encroached on Indian territory – a departure from Nepal’s usual stance, which has largely focused on accusing its bigger neighbour of occupying its land.
Speaking on Sunday in his first formal address to the Federal Parliament of Nepal since becoming the country’s youngest prime minister earlier this year, Shah, 35, sparked anger among Nepali lawmakers with his comments.
The long-running dispute between Nepal and India over border territories including Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh and Kalapani has periodically bubbled up over the years. The conflict is a mix of contested history, geography, politics and mapping.
