India rejects Nepal’s objection to pilgrimage via Lipulekh Pass

India has rejected Nepal's objection to the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra being conducted via Lipulekh Pass in Uttarakhand, stating that Nepal's claim on the region is not justified or based on historical facts. India maintains that its position on the matter has been consistent and clear, with the Lipulekh Pass being a long-standing route for the pilgrimage since 1954. India remains open to a constructive interaction with Nepal on all issues, including resolving outstanding boundary issues through dialogue and diplomacy.
