In a press statement on Monday, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs expressed concerns “over the incidents of violence resulting in death and injury in regions of Nepal bordering India following the promulgation of Constitution on Sunday”.

India could be gracious in welcoming Nepal's new Constitution while registering reservations on its shortcomings and concern for violence.

This was the second such statement. In the first statement, which was minutes after the promulgation  of the constitution, India had merely ‘noted the promulgation of a constitution in Nepal’—stopping short of welcoming the new constitution.

Its high time to have unity among domestic forces & convey a message that Nepali are capable enough in solving their problems #BackOffIndia

एउटा ट्रेन्ड #BackOffIndia चलाउनपर्छ भने अर्को #LeadersGoToMadhesh नि हुनुपर्छ। हाम्रै बहिरा र स्वार्थी नेताहरु नि यसमा दोषी छन्।
