Nepal Prime Minister Balendra Shah sparked controversy in Parliament on Sunday by stating that Nepal has encroached upon Indian territories. The statement, which was met with uproar from opposition lawmakers, prompted demands for clarification and the removal of his remarks from parliamentary records. Mr. Shah, who made the comments during a session where he addressed questions from lawmakers, claimed that Nepal's encroachment on Indian territory is related to "cross-border occupation" and "encroachment in the Dasgaja area." The Ministry of Foreign Affairs later clarified that the Prime Minister's statement was based on technical realities regarding land use and border demarcation.
