Madhesi-led Blockade

Invoking the Panchsheel principles, Nepalese Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli today called on India to "immediately lift the undeclared blockade" imposed on Nepal that would help boost bilateral ties amid the recent political crisis over the country's new Constitution.

India today strongly condemned as "provocative" and "ill-intentioned" allegations that it is sending soldiers in plain clothes to Nepal amid the ongoing agitation against the new Constitution by Indian-origin Madhesis.

Nepal's new Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli is likely to visit India soon, the Indian envoy in Nepal said on Tuesday, a day after the visit of Deputy Prime Minister Kamal Thapa to New Delhi to discus hiccups in ties following the Madhesi-led blockade of main trading points.
