Disregarding the historical facts & evidences, and primarily the ongoing bilateral talks relating to Kalapani issue, K.P. Sharma Oli led Nepal government released a new emblem of Nepal after second amendment of the Constitution of Nepal on 13 June 2020. Earlier, on 20 May 2020, on recommendation of the Council of Ministers of Nepal, the lower house of Nepal’s Parliament approved a new map of Nepal which showed Kalapani and Lipulekh as part of Nepalese territories. These territories have been claimed by India as its own. These actions of Nepal would definitely complicate the ongoing bilateral talks that have been taken a long time to resolve the border issues. The following brief provides a historical background to this issue.
