On August 10 and 11, 2026, opposition parties in the House of Representatives criticized Prime Minister Balendra Shah. Lawmakers demanded that his statements on border issues be corrected and that earlier recorded statements from May 31 be removed from parliamentary archives.
Nepali Congress MP Renuka Kaucha urged the Prime Minister to address concerns, warning that expressing "political impulses on sensitive issues like the border" without factual basis could harm Nepal's international reputation. The CPN (UML) also objected to the Prime Minister's address, specifically his remarks suggesting Nepal had encroached on India's border, and requested their removal from parliamentary records and an apology.
