Seeking apology? Nepal’s Foreign Ministry issues statement over PM Oli’s “Lord Ram is Nepali” remark

Clarifying the whole scenario, the Foreign Ministry of Nepal had to intervene in order to save Nepal’s PM KP Sharma Oli who created quite a storm on social media on Monday after claiming that Shri Ram is Nepali and India has created a ‘fake Ayodhya’.

The real Ayodhya, according to Oli, is in Nepal. He was slammed for his comments by his countrymen and Indians alike. Opposition parties in Nepal said that it does not behove a PM to make such ridiculous assertions.

“The Prime Minister’s remarks had no intentions to hurt anyone’s sentiments or feelings”

Later, the statement even praised Ayodhya and India’s cultural affinity with Nepal and blamed the remarks in reference to 207th Anniversary celebrations of Adikavi Bhakta Acharya, the author of the Hindu epic Ramayana in Nepali language.
