New Delhi: Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar will leave for Nepal tomorrow as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's special envoy to hold talks with leaders across political spectrum on issues relating to that country's new constitution which is being unveiled on Sunday.
Sources said Mr Jaishankar, during his two-day visit, will convey to Nepalese leadership that aspirations of sections of people in Nepal including those living in southern plains bordering India are fulfilled.
Spokesperson in the Ministry of External Affairs Vikas Swarup tweeted:
The announcement of the new secular Constitution has triggered violent protests in some parts of the country.
India had expressed concern over the ongoing protests and strife in Nepal and had called for continuing flexibility on the part of all the political forces so that outstanding issues are addressed through dialogue.
The Constituent Assembly has already began clause-by- clause voting on the proposed constitution, under preparation since 2008.
