Kathmandu, July 13

Prime Minister (PM) KP Sharma Oli has accused India of encroaching on cultural facts and claimed Ayodhya is not in India but is a village to the west of Birgunj.

Addressing a program organized at the PM's official residence in Baluwatar to mark the birth anniversary of the First Poet Bhanubhakta Acharya on Monday, Oli rued that Nepal has been oppressed culturally.

"We have been oppressed a bit culturally. Facts have been encroached. We still believe that we gave Sita to Indian Prince Ram. But we gave to the prince from Ayodhya not India. Ayodhya is a village a little west to Birgunj, not the Ayodhya created now," he elaborated.

He argued how can a prince from so far come to Janakpur for marriage if the Ayodhya claimed by India were real. He claimed that science and knowledge originated and developed in Nepal and rued that it could not be continued.
