Indo-Nepal relations multifaceted: Chair Thakur

Mahottari, July 18: Chairman of the Loktantrik Samajbadi Party Nepal, Mahantha Thakur, has said Indo-Nepal relations have remained intimate since ancient times.

Speaking at a programme organized in Jaleshwar on Friday, Chairman Thakur reminded that the two-country relations are multifaceted.     

The programme was organized by the Nepal-India Friendship Association, Madhesh Province to hand over awards to the winners of essay competition, on 'Nepal-India Friendly Relations'.     

Chairman Thakur further viewed India is the closest friendly nation and the bilateral relations are expanded to the people to people level between the two countries.     

On a different note, leader Thakur mentioned that former king Gyanendra’s activities are anti-democratic. Playing religious card to regain power is irrelevant, he stressed.     

His party was struggling against the ruling class for the rights of Madhesh and the Madheshi people, and that the peaceful struggle will continue until those rights were achieved.     

At the event, 24 students from Dhanusha and 18 from Mahottari districts were honoured and awarded with bicycles, trophies, and certificates.(RSS)
