Kathmandu: India on Wednesday said that recent political developments in Nepal are its internal matters to be dealt with by Nepal under its own domestic framework and democratic processes.
Nepal was pushed into a fresh political crisis after President Bidhya Devi Bhandari, in the wee hours of Saturday, dissolved the House of Representatives and announced mid-term elections to be held in two phases on recommendation by the K P Sharma Oli-led government.
“We have taken note of the recent political developments in Nepal. We view these as internal matters of Nepal to be dealt by them under their own domestic framework and democratic processes,” India’s External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said.
He added that India, as a neighbor and a friend, remains unwavering in its support for Nepal and its people on their journey toward progress, peace, stability, and development.
