The sister wing of the ruling party Nepal Communist Party (NCP) All Nepal National Free Students’ Union (ANNFSU) staged a demonstration in Belahiya of Rupandehi protesting against the inclusion of the Kalapani area in the Indian political map.

During the protest, the demonstrators chanted slogans against the Indian move carrying placards reading ‘Back Off India’, ‘Down with Indian Expansionism’, ‘Scrap Unequal Treaty’ and ‘Return Encroached Land’.

Local people also joined students who warned of stern protest if the map is not corrected at the earliest. 

Addressing the protest, NCP leaders stressed the need for having a cordial relationship between two countries by respecting each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
