"Nepal will not let anyone use our land and sky in the fight against anyone, stated Oli. He also said, "During the tension over Galwan Valley, India inaugurated on Nepal's land. Our land was shown in the map of India, so we opposed it." 

He added, "This is the century of Asia." On India's culture, he said, "Proud of India's culture. No faith in united India." He also said, "Before Newton and Galileo, we knew the theory of science and Nalanda was burnt because it was the centre of our knowledge."

"We have to think with a big mind and shouldn't find loopholes. Indian siblings should agree. By applying soil of the real Ramjanmabhoomi on the forehead, welfare is achieved. A map is made keeping the disputed land in mind. When the dispute will end, the map will also be correct. Equal treatment should be done with all," added Oli.
