“Lord Ram is a Nepali not Indian” Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli

Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli went on to give a controversial statement on Lord Ram.

Ayodhya, the ancient city believed by millions of Hindus to be the birthplace of Lord Ram, is actually a small village near Kathmandu. He also claimed that, Lord Ram is a Nepali.

“We still believe we gave Sita to Prince Ram but we gave the prince too, from Ayodhya, not India. Ayodhya is a village a little west (of) Birgunj (a district in Nepal that is around 135 km from capital Kathmandu),” Prime Minister Oli said
