Nepal Prime Minister says “Real Ayodhya is in Nepal”.

On Monday Nepal PM Oli claims that Hindu lord Ram was born in his country not in India and Ayodhya is in fact a village near Kathmandu.

He also accused India of ” Cultural oppression an encroachment”. He said ”We still believe we gave Sita to Prince Ram but we gave the prince too, from Ayodhya, not India,” Oli said at a cultural programme at his residence. “Ayodhya is a village a little west of Birgunj, a district in Nepal that is around 135 km from capital Kathmandu. We have been oppressed a bit, culturally. Facts have been encroached on.”

”Marriage between bride and bridegroom at such a distance was not possible at the time when there was no communication and transportation system. The place called Thori, near Birgunj is the real Ayodhya, where Lord Ram was born. In India there is great dispute on Ayodhya. But, there is no dispute in our Ayodhya,” Prime Minister Oli was quoted as saying by his press advisor Surya Thapa.

BJP national spokesperson Bizay Sonkar Shastri said that the Communists in Nepal will be rejected by the masses in the same way they have been in India, even as Left parties in India played with people’s faith.

“Lord Ram is a matter of faith for us, and people will not allow anybody, be it Prime Minister of Nepal or anyone, to play with this,” he said in New Delhi.
