Parliament and leader of the six-member Indian delegation, said today, wrapping up the team’s Nepal visit.

“The kind of system Nepal should have will be decided by the Nepali people and the decision should be accepted by the government and the parliament,” Despande, speaking at the Reporters’ Club, said. “We have conveyed Indian people’s goodwill to the people and political leaders we met here and will take their message to the Indian parliament,” said Despande.
