Indian leader Kejriwal assures support to Nepal
Kathmandu, May 21, Nepal's Ambassador to India Deep Kumar Upadhyaya has
intensified meeting with Indian leaders with the purpose of garnering further
support from India to Nepal in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that
struck the country on April 25.
In this
connection, Ambassador Upadhyaya had a meeting with New Delhi Chief Minister
and Aam Aadmi Party Chair Arvind Kejriwal Thursday. During the meeting, he
urged the New Delhi CM for support to Nepal's health sector. Most of hospitals
in Nepal lack ventilators, which has hampered the service delivery to the
needy.
Leader Kejriwal
on the occasion stated that India was together with Nepal in these hours of
grief, promising full support to cope with the adverse situation after the
disaster. "Hardship and honesty are
the characteristics of the Nepalis", he said, expressing his confidence
that Nepal would be able to convert the present misery to an opportunity,
according to Ambassador Upadhyaya.
The Indian leader
also expressed his wish to visit Nepal soon. In response, Ambassador Upadhyaya
said Nepalis were eager to welcome Kejriwal, known for his anti-corruption
campaign, their home. Ambassador
Upadhyay on Wednesday had called on Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
