"India hasn't handed over list for constitutional amendments to Nepal"

KATHMANDU: Referring to the Spokesperson of India's Ministry of External Affairs, the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu on Wednesday said India has not handed over any list of specific Constitutional amendments or changes to the Government of Nepal.

Responding to a tweet on Wednesday evening, Indian MEA's Official Spokesperson, Vikas Swarup, said that the Indian Express report -- titled "Make 7 changes to your Constitution: India to Nepal" -- was incorrect.

In response to a query on the article in the Indian Express today, the Official Spokesperson clarified:

"The article is incorrect. GOI has not handed over any list of specific Constitutional amendments or changes to the Government of Nepal. Without being prescriptive on specific clauses, and as already stated earlier, we continue to urge that issues on which there are differences should be resolved through dialogue in an atmosphere free from violence, and institutionalized in a manner that would enable broad-based ownership and acceptance.”
