- The 100 rupee currency note of Nepal showed the regions of India as its own
- Despite the opposition of the Indian government, Nepal printed currency notes
- However, after the protest, Nepal changed the map by leaning towards India
The Economic Adviser to the President of Nepal Ram Chandra Paudel, who depicted Indian territories as his own on the Nepali Rupee note, has finally resigned under pressure from India. Chiranjeevi, economic adviser to the President of Nepal, introduced new 100 rupee notes in three areas of India claiming to be Nepalese. Government of India strongly objected to Nepal on this. After this, the Economic Adviser to the President of Nepal has resigned taking responsibility for this mistake. Let us tell you that after printing the note, he also made a controversial statement in the international media.
According to a press release issued by the Nepali President’s Office, the President has accepted the resignation of Chiranjeevi Nepal on Sunday. “I made the comment as an economist and former central bank governor, but some media outlets have distorted my statement in an attempt to embroil the respected institution of the President,” Chiranjeevi said on Monday. Like Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura have been included in the new map. However, India has been saying that these three areas belong to it.
The Nepali President’s advisor has clarified this
I have resigned accepting moral responsibility after being informed, said Chiranjeevi, who tried to implicate the President in a controversy based on my statement to citizens, to make people aware that such an act can create practical problems for the country and people at a time when at the diplomatic level ( (on the issue of map) is being discussed.”The cabinet meeting last week decided to use the new map instead of the old one to print the new Rs 100 note.
