Veteran politicians in Nepal and India who have for the past two decades, maintained back channel dialogue called for closer cooperation between the two sides in the backdrop of the uprising that has unseated the government of Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli, leaving a power vacuum.
Former Deputy Prime Minister of Nepal and Vice-President of Nepali Congress Bimalendra Nidhi said that ahead of the uprising, Nepali Congress was considering withdrawal of support from Mr. Oli’s government but that idea was nixed by president of Nepali Congress Sher Bahadur Deuba.
