UNILATERAL MEASURES WON’T ALTER GROUND REALITY: JAISHANKAR ON NEPAL’S NEW NOTE

Contesting Nepal’s decision to introduce a new Rs 100 currency note featuring disputed Indian territories, EAM S Jaishankar said that New Delhi’s position is very clear adding that Kathmandu unilaterally took some measures on their side.

“I saw that report. I have not looked at it in detail, but I think our position is very clear. With Nepal, we were having discussions about our boundary matters through an established platform. And then in the middle of that, they unilaterally took some measures on their side. But by doing something on their side, they are not going to change the situation between us or the reality on the ground,” said Jaishankar while interacting with professionals in Bhubaneswar on “Why Bharat Matters.”
