Rejecting Nepal-s territorial claim, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh asserted on Monday that the Lipulekh-Dharchula road falls very much in India and conveyed the Modi government-s willingness to sort out the "misunderstanding" with Nepal through dialogue.

"Our relations are not only of this world, but also of the -other world- and they cannot be changed even if someone wishes so," he said at BJP-s virtual rally for Uttarakhand. "These are no ordinary ties and we are bound by -roti- and -beti- livelihood and marriage. No power in the world can break it," Singh said.
