As per journalist Geeta Mohan, Oli went on to claim that Lord Ram's kingdom was situated West of Birgunj and not in Ayodhya.
This controversial statement by Oli comes at a time when he is facing fierce opposition from within his party leading to a rising chorus of people demanding his resignation.
Reports have claimed that it is on China's interference that a temporary truce has been called over the political slugfest.
Oli had recently soured relations with India after releasing new maps which claimed Indian territory like Kalapani. This came at a time when China has been annexing territory in Nepal including a border village.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
