PM Oli has been at loggerheads with India in recent months over a series of decisions taken by his government. In a televised address to the nation, the Nepalese prime minister had said that he would commit himself to protect "national and territorial integrity".

Last week, the Nepal government had reportedly banned all Indian news channels, except the public service broadcaster Doordarshan. Also, a Nepalese lawmaker - Sarita Giri -&nbsp; belonging to the &nbsp;Samajbadi Party was suspended after she allegedly&nbsp;violated a party whip regarding Nepal's new map.

Sarita Giri accused China of pushing the new map bill and raised questions on the intent of the Oli government in fixing the country's map.

A tweet by Kamal Thapa, former deputy prime minister of Nepal said: "PM Oli says Indian ambassador was active in overthrowing the government. On the other hand, the Chinese ambassador reached the leaders' house to save the government."

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli had earlier accused the Indian government of wanting to topple his government after he had issued the new Nepal map. The Nepal prime minister had also alleged the coronavirus cases in his country were due to the number of people coming from India.

Now, PM Oli says Lord Ram is Nepali not Indian, real Ayodhya lies in Nepal

Nepal's parliament is set to vote on Saturday on a new map of its border with India, an official said on Thursday, underlining the Himalayan nation's determination to press ahead with the controversial decision that has strained ties with India.

Nepal's parliament is set to vote on Saturday on a new map of its border with India, an official said on Thursday, underlining the Himalayan nation's determination to press ahead with the controversial decision that has strained ties with India. The map row broke after India's defence minister inaugurated a road till Lipulekh which Nepal says is its own territory. It was followed by Nepal FM Pradeep Kumar Gyawali meeting Indian envoy to Nepal Vinay Mohan Kwatra and Nepali Foreign Ministery and ruling party Nepal Communist Party issued a strongly worded release protesting the new road built by India that will reduce the time for Indian pilgrims to go for Mansarovar Yatra in Tibet, China. It was followed by a protest by India who reminded Kathmandu that it is Indian territory. The government has tabled the new map in parliament, seeking to amend the constitution and remove the old version. Also read: New Nepal map constitutional amendment placed in Lower house of Nepali Parliament "A house meeting has been scheduled for Saturday when the amendment is expected to be debated and put to vote," parliamentary official Dashrath Dhamala reportedly told. Nepal's Prime Minister K.P.Sharma Oli had earlier said he has sought talks with India to seek to resolve the dispute over the small stretch of land, which includes the areas of Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh and Kalapani. "We have told (them) that we want to resolve this through diplomatic talks ... And the solution is that our land should be returned to us," Oli said in parliament on Wednesday. Also read: Lower House of Nepali Parliament unanimously backs Map Amendment Bill There was no immediate comment from India on Oli's latest statement. But New Delhi rejected Nepal's map when it was published in May, calling it a "unilateral act" that was not based on historical facts or evidence.

Nepal parliament to vote on controversial map today

Nepal is hell-bent on rewriting its border with India. In a few days, the new map is likely to get complete constitutional backing. The constitutional amendment bill was introduced in the parliament today. It is said to have been welcomed by the opposition party in the lower house.

The bill is now making its way to the upper house. However, is Nepal getting cold-feet as the bill nears the final stages?

Now, the foreign minister is calling for talks with India. In this interview with the Associated Press, Foreign minister Pradeep Gyawali is seen explaining the new map of Nepal. He is also seen pointing at the disputed territory with India. The new map by Nepal marks the disputed territory of Lipulekh as its own.

The amendment bill also depicts areas of Kalapani and Limpiyadhura within its own borders. These territories belong to India. Now unabashedly, Nepal wants to sit at the table to settle all the problems. India's stance is clear. Dialogue is possible only if Nepal tapers its ambition of claiming India's territories as its own. Also, India wants to direct its full energy in containing the virus outbreak. If Nepal was open to talks it would not be opportunistic.

The amendment bill would not have been tabled until talks were held. The main point of contention is the Lipulekh road, which serves as the shortest route between New Delhi and Kailash-Manasarovar. With Nepal now claiming Lepulekh as its own, it took offence to India's defence minister Rajnath Singh inaugurating the road in May.

Now, Nepal's foreign minister is audaciously justifying the decision to pressurise India during the pandemic. Without prejudice and bias, he says. Nepal raised the dispute with India as Indian and Chinese troops clashed near the Sikkim border. The timing was just right Or, should we say coordinated?

&nbsp;It's Nepal's prejudice and bias towards china that must be questioned. It's the political manoeuvring of the pro-Chinese prime minister KP Sharma Oli that must be blamed For souring the relations between the two countries.
