Addressing a press conference through video conferencing, Rahul Gandhi said: "The details of what happened along the border, the government should share with the people."

He said, what happened with Nepal and why, what is happening in Ladakh should be made clear.

"I cannot see transparency. The issue of Ladakh and China is a live issue. Transparency is required," he said.

He was responding to a question on the face-off on LAC that was triggered the Chinese objected to road construction and development of infrastructure by India within the Indian territory.

His Cabinet also endorsed a new political map showing the three areas as Nepalese territory. Oli went a step further and told in the Npal parliament that the territories belong to Nepal but has been made a disputed area.
