In a blunt message, India today asked Nepal to "put its house in order" and rejected charges of economic blockade from the Indian side. Spokesperson in the External Affairs Ministry Vikas Swarup also expressed serious concerns over the growing "anti-India" sentiments in Nepal.

"We do recognise that there is growth of anti-India sentiment and this is something we are seriously concerned about. There is no doubt about that. But who is responsible for this... Who has stoked this anti-India sentiment," he said, adding that due to unrest on Nepalese side, Indian goods were not being able to enter.

"And for which the blame squarely lies with the Nepalese leadership and we hope that they do something about it so that the traditionally friendly relationship between Nepal and India can continue like before," the spokesperson said.
