'India created fake Ayodhya, Lord Ram was Nepali' - Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli


Kathmandu, Jul 14 (IANS): Nepal Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli has claimed that India has created a 'fake' Ayodhya, and Lord Ram was originally from Nepal -- a shocking statement that has come at a time when India's diplomatic ties with the Himalayan nation is going through certain upheavals.

Leading Nepali media outlet The Himalayan Times reported on Monday that Oli, while speaking at an event organised to commemorate poet Bhanubhakta‘s birth anniversary in his official residence, said that India is manipulating cultural and historical facts by creating a fake Ayodhya in India, which in fact is a village west of Birgunj.

"We did not give Sita, who was born in Janakpur, to an Indian prince but Sita was married to Ram of Ayodhya, not of India," he said, adding that Ayodhya was later created in India encroaching upon facts.

He ‘reasoned' that a prince from a place that far away could not possibly come to Janakpur to marry Sita as there were no means of communication and easy transportation during those times.

"There is a huge controversy in 'their' Ayodhya while our Ayodhya, that lies in the Thori village, has no issues as such."

PM Oli, as usual, went on to claim that science and knowledge originated and developed in Nepal.

The statement, however, did not seem to have gone down well at his own backyard. The Himalayan Times further reported that not many in Nepal were convinced by the Prime Minister's take on the 'facts' and warned that the issue could escalate, inflating the existing tensions further.

Co-chairperson of Rastriya Prajatantra Party Kamal Thapa said it is not suitable for such baseless, unproven statements to come from a Prime Minister.

"It looks like the PM wants to further spoil Nepal-India relations rather than working to resolve tensions," Thapa tweeted.

Likewise, former vice-chair of National Planning Commission Swarnim Wagle warned that Indian media could pick up and make controversial headlines out of Oli's statement.

The town of Ayodhya in India's northern state of Uttar Pradesh, believed to be the birthplace of Lord Ram, is a politically sensitive matter.

    The RSS political wing BJP in the center ruling government statement of Nepal PM Oli should hardly matter. As per the ideological thinking of of so called social organisation Nepal is part of 'Akhand Bharat'. But no prosecuted Nepali is able to claim for citizenship under new CAA bill.

    As far as the origin of place of Birth they should refer to the Holy book were any name of 'Ayodhya' existed.

    If one visited 'Ayodhya' there are many temples within the city that claims to be birth place of Lord Rama.

    If God is universe and presence is every where this subject should be null and void.

    Why even give importance to such statements given by such people with hidden agendas. Rather than bothering where was Lord Ram was born let Oli inculcate the values of Ram in his life. These people don't have any other work other than creating unnecessary controversy. Best is to ignore such morons....!!!

    Irrespective of which party rules in India, India is ours and we are proud Indians. We never claimed any of our neighbours' land. Oli is a devil with communist mind that only seeks destruction. Do we need to be close to Nepal at all? Why don't we cut off all relations with this country and block all movements into Nepal and out of Nepal to India. Let them lie on China's lap for ever? They will realize the meaning of Independence.... they should learn from Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines. They all hate China

India never wants to trouble anybody but that does not mean, we will tolerate everything. Just remember one thing Mr. Oil...oops Oli...China can never be trusted. I think u should resign and go to old age home where you can read the scriptures peacefully and understand it.

    Mighty kings at spiritual level rule not based on size of the land but based on spiritual level. Size doesn't matter. These politicians and dictators are desperate and corrupt for power and destruction of the globe. People suffer of thier negligence. Look at middle east today many become refugees just because religious differences and lost thier homes with conditions by fanatics threatened minorities to leave. It is sad. Common poor people suffer at the end

    First of all Communists won't trust Ramayana and how come he want that Ramayana now ? Let him write his own version and enjoy.

    Veerappa Moily also wrote one version after Kumaravyas throwed his hand telling I have no room to play in the field of Ramayana as already Adishesha feel heavy with the weight of many no of Ramayana Poets.

    Accept if Oli is writing his version. Everybody has the Right.

    Yes, why not? Nepal is a Hindu country, though right now under the influence of Communist China. Just because Sita was taken to Lanka by Ravan and was rescued by Hanuman, can the present Sri Lanka claim Sita. Ramayan cannot be rewritten to suit Oli. For politicians anything is possible. Still, Oli cannot take Lord Ram from India. He can rewrite his country's map but can he rewrite Ramayan?

    Better rewrite Ramayana according to Nepali PM version. This Nepali PM started spitting venom towards India. Might be his ideology is different and favourable to China, But the bond between Indian and Nepali people is not very recent and very difficult for him finish it.

    ... Nepal was not in good terms with India even during King Birendra’s time. PM Rajeev Gandhi blockaded many items to Nepal during that time. After 2009, Nepal turned to secular state from Hindu kingdom. Nepali communists danced to the tunes of chinky commies who were throwing biscuits at them.
