India has reiterated that it was not involved in ongoing protests spearheaded by Madhes-based parties in the Tarai districts of Nepal. Indian ambassador Ranjit Rae on Wednesday reached to former prime minister and senior CPN UML leader Madhav Kumar Nepal's residence to convey the message.
"The ambassador expressed the concern over the growing anti-Indian sentiments in Nepal," Nepal's personal aide Mohan Gautam added, "He said that India was not involved in the blockade and refuted claims that his country was supporting Madhes-based parties in their protests." Rae said that he was happy to learn that talks between the government and the Tarai based parties are going on positive direction. In reply, Nepal asked the ambassador to ease supplies in Nepal from India.
