A few weeks back actress Manisha Koirala, who is a Nepalese national, had stirred a debate when she had tweeted in support of Nepal amid its border dispute with India. The actress again became the target of the netizens after she recently shared her musings on Nepal and its sovereignty.
Almost a month back, Nepal had released its new map including all the disputed areas like Lipulekh, Kalapani and Limpiyadhura as part of its territory. Back then, Manisha had tweeted in its support.
Thank you for keeping the dignity of our small nation..we all are looking forward for a peaceful and respectful dialogue between all three great nations now ? https://t.co/A60BZNjgyK

This tweet didn’t go down well with a section of the netizens and they expressed their displeasure over it. Lashing out at the actress one of the users wrote, “Please pack ur bags and get out from India. Ur PM has betrayed India on China’s behalf and also gifted China Rui village. To whom you are lecturing all this. The world knows ur pm is a sold person who wants to destroy our ancestral relation(sic).”

Whereas another user commented, “Nepal very soon will be China’s Colony…Chinese Language are made mandatory to teach in schools…Nepal’s current government will drag Nepal to Dark Ages..”
