Nepal PM Balendra Shah to Answer Parliament Questions on India Territory Remarks
Nepal Prime Minister Balendra Shah will appear in the House of Representatives on August 26 to answer lawmakers' questions, following opposition demands for clarification on his May 31 remarks about Nepal encroaching on Indian territory. Speaker Dol Prasad Aryal directed Shah to respond under parliamentary rules. The Foreign Ministry clarified the comments referred to no-man's land and cross-border issues, not territorial claims. Opposition parties had protested for weeks, demanding evidence or a withdrawal of Shah's statement, ending their disruption after the Speaker's ruling.
