बिरोध ज्ञापन पत्रको पूर्ण पाठ

 

 

To,
His Excellency Shri Narendra Modi
Prime Minister of India
New Delhi, India.
Through
Her Excellency the Ambassador of India
Brussels, Belgium
Subject: Protest Letter against Encroachment of Nepali territory
Excellency,
Our serious attention has once again been drawn to the opening up of a link road to Kailash Mansarovar via Lipulek which passes through Nepali territory. We strongly feel that the construction of this road link via Nepali territory is a blatant disregard of and an attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our beloved motherland. We express our profound regret over repeated incidents  of such a brazen violation of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Nepal. We strongly condemn the continued occupation of Nepali land by a strong and powerful neighbor as India.
The land used by India for the construction of the road lying east of the Kali River is an inalienable part of Nepal. This is borne out from bilateral treaty, historical documents, maps, facts and other evidences. As per the Sugauli Treaty of March 4, 1816, signed between Nepal and then British East-India Company, the Mahakali River (Kali in India) is established as the western border between the two countries. The Kali river originates from Limpiyadhura which is about 30 kilometres west of Kalapani. The political map issued by India itself on April 24, 1856, conforming to the Sugauli Treaty, regards Limpiyadhura as the river’s origin. There are several other maps drawn by the Survey of India following the 1816 Treaty which clearly show the areas namely Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiadhura within the boundary of Nepal. In addition, the fact that a census was done in the 1960s by the Government of Nepal in three villages of Kuti, Nabi and Gunji, located in the region, proves that the territory has always been an alienable part of Nepal. On top of that, the people living in those area still hold receipts of land tax paid to the Nepali authorities in the past.
The people of Nepal, the Nepali Diaspora across the globe, as well as the Government of Nepal stand as one against the bullying and encroachment of Nepali land by India.
We, as the nation of 30 million patriotic citizens with boundless love for our motherland, firmly believe in fraternity, equality and justice as our core values.
We sincerely desire to give continuity, as usual, to our cordial and friendly relations with India. We also cherish age-old friendly and cordial relationship existing between our two great nations and two peoples. Nevertheless, our cordiality and humbleness should not be construed as our weakness. We once again affirm our belief that we shall neither encroach upon others’ land nor shall we tolerate the encroachment on our land by others. No one can imagine that any close friend invades upon their territory, as India has done against Nepal, at this trying hours when the whole world is struggling hard to fight against COVID-19.
You would agree, Excellency, that the humankind in history has witnessed long, tortuous, and painful periods of war, aggression and forceful occupation of territories belonging to small and weak nations by big and powerful ones. But with the end of the cold war and the advent of the 21st century, the mankind has entered into a new phase of history in which goodwill, fraternity, and equality based on cooperation, collaboration and partnership should remain as guiding principles for relations between the nations irrespective of their size and strength.
In view of the above, we, on behalf of thousands of Nepali migrants in Belgium, request in all our earnest to His Excellency the Prime Minister of India, through your good offices, to take necessary action immediately to vacate and return, as per the provisions of the treaty as well as based on historical facts, documents and evidences, the whole part of land lying east of the Kali river which has been seized by India from the 1960s. We earnestly hope that Indian government will take positive initiatives to resolve this issue amicably that will be enormously helpful to strengthen and deepen bilateral relations between our two countries and the peoples.
