The conflict between Madhesis and Pahadis in Nepal over the country’s new Constitution has spilled over to the world of entertainment, with the Federation of Nepal Cable Television Association (FNCTA) deciding to block Indian television channels to protest the blockade of a key trade checkpoint with India by agitators opposing Nepal’s new Constitution. At a meeting held on Sunday, the cable operators had decided to black out all the Indian channels indefinitely from 10 am today in a symbolic protest. The association also said that the broadcast of Hindi channels has already stopped in Chitwan, Pokhara and Mahendranagar.

India asked Nepal to postpone the shift in the Constitution which Nepal told India has no control over its land and should maintain the distance.

Being a member of SAARC nation does not mean they can poke their nose. Nepal did the right thing.

Preparing constitution is their internal matter and India should have distanced itself from them.
