Amid a border dispute between India and Nepal over Kalapani and Lipulekh, Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala has also come out in the support of the Nepal government on its stand in which it claimed Lipulekh, Kalapani and Limpiyadhura, as its own territories.

Koirala, a Nepalese-origin Bollywood actress, replied to a Twitter post of Nepal Foreign Minister Pradeep Gyawali where he announced Lipulekh, Kalapani, Limpiyadhura in the new political map of Nepal. The actress hoped for a peaceful and respectful dialogue between all three great nations, referring to India, Nepal and China in her Twitter post.

"Thank you for keeping the dignity of our small nation..we all are looking forward for a peaceful and respectful dialogue between all three great nations now," she tweeted.


On May 18, the Nepal Cabinet had endorsed a new controversial map of the country claiming Lipulekh, Kalapani, Limpiyadhura under the territories of Nepal. A day later, on Tuesday, Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli asserted that the three territories belonged to Nepal and vowed to reclaim them from India through political and diplomatic efforts.

The controversial new map includes 335-km land area including Limpiyadhura in the Nepalese territory.

The Lipulekh pass is a far western point near Kalapani. Both India and Nepal claim Kalapani as an integral part of their territory - India as part of Uttarakhand's Pithoragarh district and Nepal as part of Dharchula district.
