Oli says ‘Ayodhya in Nepal’

Oli made the shocking claims about ‘real Ayodhya’, the birthplace of Lord Ram on the occasion of Bhanu Jayanti. Oli said that Hindi God Ram's kingdom Ayodhya is located west of Birgunj in Nepal and that India has created the disputed Ayodhya. He argued that 'real Ayodhya' is in Thori. "Ayodhya is a village west of Birgunj," he claimed. Giving an equally weird explanation, Oli was quoted by Nepali media saying why would Lord Ram travel as far as Janakpur to marry Sita if  Ayodhya had been in India. He said that in that period there was no telephone or mobile phone, "so both Lord Ram and Sita would have married nearby if the place claimed by India is real Ayodhya," he added.
