New Delhi. India has clearly rejected Nepali Prime Minister Balesh Shah’s call for Britain to mediate in the India-Nepal border dispute. Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal has bluntly said that it should be clear to all concerned parties that no role of any third party is acceptable in bilateral matters between India and Nepal. Responding to a media question regarding Nepal Prime Minister Balen Shah’s ‘encroachment by India’ comment, Randhir Jaiswal said, we have taken cognizance of the comments made by the Prime Minister of Nepal as well as the statement issued by the Foreign Ministry of Nepal regarding the India-Nepal border. About 98 percent of the India-Nepal border has already been demarcated. However, some issues remain unresolved in some parts. This situation has arisen due to change in the course of Gandak river.
