KATHMANDU: Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Women and Children CP Mainali said that the government would seek clarification from the ambassadors of India and European Union regarding the joint statement issued by India and European Union on Wednesday.

He was speaking at an interaction organised at the Reporters' Club in the Capital on Saturday.

He claimed that the joint statement issued by the European Union and India over the reference to Nepal and its new Constitution was inappropriate.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will summon ambassadors of India and European Union within a couple of days and seek clarification from them," Minister Mainali said.

He went on to say that the statement was inappropriate and merely a design to foil peace.
