Nepalese Cable TV operators have blocked all Indian channels “indefinitely” in protest against an unofficial “blockade of goods” into the country.
Earlier, expressing concern over growing “anti- India” sentiment in Nepal, Indian Ambassador to Nepal Ranjit Rae had on Friday said, “We sense that this is being used for certain objective—political or otherwise.”
“We are deeply concerned with the growing anti-India sentiment. Encouraging such a sentiment is equally harmful to both India and Nepal,” he said, while speaking at an event ‘Nation Ahead Series’ here.
“There are certain narratives,” he said, “There is a section which is encouraging anti-India sentiment as it helps them in some way.”
Rae said there is a sense of grievances in certain part of Nepal that needs to be addressed. “We have no views on what needs to be done. Our intense desire is that these problems should be resolved. These are political problems and should be resolved through dialogues and negotiations,” Rae added.
