Addressing the inauguration programme as special guest, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba urged all political parties to come together and join hands for the development of the country
Nepal's former Prime Minister and main opposition CPN-UML Chairman K.P. Sharma Oli on November 26 pledged to "take back" the territories of Kalapani, Limpiyadhura and Lipulekh from India through dialogue if his party comes back to power.
The Lipulekh pass is a far western point near Kalapani, a disputed border area between Nepal and India. Both India and Nepal claim Kalapani as an integral part of their territory — India as part of Uttarakhand's Pithoragarh district and Nepal as part of Dharchula district.
Inaugurating the 10th general convention of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) in Chitwan, 160 km south of Kathmandu, Mr. Oli claimed if his party comes back to power it will "take back the disputed territories such as Limpiyadhura, Kalapani and Lipulek from India through dialogue".
