On November 6, Nepal Student Union(NSU) Trichandra Unit, the student wings of the main opposition party, Nepali Congress, staged a mass demonstration against the Indian move which culminated in front of the Indian Embassy. Flex banners that read “Go Back India. Kalapani, Lipulek, and Limpiadhura belong to Nepal” and slogans condemning Indian imperialism echoed in the streets during protests. Earlier, after ending the autonomy of disputed Kashmir through abrogation of Article 370 in August, the Survey General of India, on Nov 2, released a new political map of the newly formed Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir Ladakh which placed the regions Kalapani and Lipu Lekh claimed by Nepal inside its border.
