Days after stopping the transmission of Indian private news channels, Prime Minister KP Oli made a controversial claim, saying Lord Ram’s birthplace was in Nepal and not in India. He further went on to say that India has taken the cultural encroachment by ‘creating a fake Ayodhya’. However, Oli added that the scholars could turn heavily against him listening to this ‘new fact’.

भारतीय निजी समाचार चैनलों के प्रसारण को रोकने के दिनों के बाद, प्रधान मंत्री केपी ओली ने एक विवादास्पद दावा किया, कहा कि भगवान राम का जन्मस्थान नेपाल में था और भारत में नहीं। उन्होंने आगे कहा कि भारत ने 'नकली अयोध्या का निर्माण करके' सांस्कृतिक अतिक्रमण किया है। हालांकि, ओली ने कहा कि विद्वान इस 'नए तथ्य' को सुनकर उनके खिलाफ भारी हमला कर सकते हैं। '
