KATHMANDU: Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli at a public function in Kathmandu criticised the Indian policy concerning Nepal. On a day when the India-Nepal international border saw renewed tension, Nepali Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Monday warned India not to interfere in the Himalayan nation's internal affairs. As per details, Tensions inflamed by anti-constitution sentiments flared anew on Monday with agitating activists of Madhes-based political parties clashing with the police in Nepal’s southern city of Birgunj. An Indian national died in police firing in the Nepali border town — the victim was a resident of Raxaul across the border in Bihar. Oli at a public function in Kathmandu criticised the Indian policy concerning Nepal, particularly after the promulgation of the new federal republican constitution on September 20. Oli accused India of “propping up” the Madhes-based political parties to impose blockades at major customs points along the 1751-km open border between the two neighbours. “The constitution is not targeted against any country,” he said, adding that it was promulgated with 96% of the Constituent Assembly members voting in its favour. Nepal has accused India of imposing an unofficial blockade at the border while New Delhi maintains that transportation of essentials and other goods was hampered by the ongoing violent agitation within land-locked Nepal.
