A. Kalapani B. Lipulekh C. Limpiyadhura D. All of above
Explanation: The Lower House of Nepal's Parliament on 13 June 2020 voted unanimously to amend the Constitution to redraw the country's new political map, laying claim over the strategically key areas of Lipulekh, Kalapani and Limpiyadhura along the border with India. Later on 18 June 2020 the Upper House also passed the resolution. India has been maintaining that these three areas belonged to it. The ties between the two countries came under severe strain after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated the 80-KM-long road on 8 May 2020. Nepal reacted sharply to the inauguration of the road claiming that it passed through Nepalese territory. India rejected the claim.
