The issue of China-India bilateral trade agreement through Limpiyadhura, Lipulek and Kalapani areas east of the Mahakali river has entered the parliament. In the meeting of the House of Representatives on Thursday, the parliamentarians of the ruling and opposition parties drew the attention of the government saying that India and China should not be allowed to trade through the region.
Speaking at the meeting, UML chief whip Mahesh Bertaula said that Lipulek is an active part of Nepal. He said that they will oppose the agreement between India and China to demarcate the border without the approval of Nepal on the integral parts of Nepal like Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura and Kalapani.
On behalf of the NCP (UML) parliamentary party, we want to oppose the agreement reached between them (China and India). We would like to disagree with this. A country can be small or big in terms of geography, economy and population. But in terms of the country's self-respect, independence and sovereignty, small cannot be big. "If there is any activity that undermines the independence of our country, we will oppose it," he said.
Similarly, Maoist chief whip Hitraj Pandey drew the attention of the government saying that the agreement between China and India is hurting the mother of Nepal. He objected by saying that the Maoist center has drawn serious attention to the agreement on border trade without even informing Nepal. He also requested to advance diplomatic and political initiatives to protect the national independence which should be done within the work of any government.
In 2020, the border was closed for commercial purposes after a clash between the soldiers of two Asian powers in eastern Ladakh. Last December, India and China reached an agreement to resume the movement of Indian pilgrims going on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra through this crossing without the knowledge of Nepal. Recently they The trade deal is out.
