On June 7th, the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority arrested Tirtharaj Bhattarai, the then chief immigration officer of the Tribhuvan International Airport office. He was detained for investigation on the charge of sending Nepalis to different countries under the guise of a visit visa with a human trafficker.

After removing the then head of immigration, Suresh Panthi, the current home minister, Ramesh Akhtar, made Bhattarai, who has a controversial background, as the head. It is currently being accused that the author sent him there to strengthen the setting of the amount raised when he is sent on a visit visa . On the other hand, he was transferred to the ministry in the evening of June 6. There is also an allegation that such a decision was made under the instructions of the Home Minister Akhtar after the Authority received information about the preparation of the raid.

Although the details will be revealed after the investigation is completed by the authority, the demand for him to resign after the question is raised is currently being raised on social media from the House. When a question was raised about the then Home Minister Ravi Lamichhane, the writer himself spoke in the House of Representatives saying that the questioned minister should resign as Congress Chief Whip. The

writer's issue was whether to resign on the basis of ethics or not. However, there are many such references in Nepal's power politics, where Prime Ministers/Ministers have resigned on moral grounds after being in controversy. Some have been fired . Some events are even established as moral standards.

Kirtinidhi Bishta

The main administrative building of Nepal, Singhdarbar, had a fire on 25th June 2030 at 10 pm. Due to the fire, the front facade of the building was destroyed. Although it is said that the fire was caused by an electrical short, it is also analyzed as a conspiracy because important documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were also burnt.

The Prime Minister at that time, Kirtinidhi Bista, reached Singhadbar from Baluwatar at night after hearing that there was a fire in Singhadbar. He met the king the next day and submitted his resignation.

Bishta told Nepal Weekly published on February 4, 2070- While staying there all night and returning to Baluwatar in the morning, my condition was like that of a soldier returning home to Luruluru after losing everything in the war. After reaching Baluwatar, I met King Birendra and submitted my resignation letter showing the basis of morality.'

King Birendra returned the letter of resignation to him and said, 'You did not set fire to Singha Darbar, why would you resign? Keep the resignation letter in your pocket. Help me . Just . Don't talk about resigning.'

Bishta says - My soul did not agree with that. I said very humbly to the king, "I am the prime minister. The national wealth under my charge has been reduced to ashes. I do not want to stay in this position even for a minute." There was a dispute with the king. I resigned after insisting.

Keshar Bahadur Bisht

2044 On February 29, the final match of the Tribhuvan Challenge Shield continued at Dasharath Stadium. The crowd in the stadium could not be counted as spectators from Kathmandu and outside gathered to watch the match between Janakpur Cigarette Factory and Muktijoddha Club of Bangladesh. Around the 25th minute of the game, the wind started blowing. Hail was also noticed . There was a commotion among the audience. But as the match continued, the spectators could not get out because the doors were closed, instead they were trapped. 70 people died in this incident. The government formed a commission headed by Bhairav ​​Prasad Lamsal to study the

incident. Although the incident was not planned, the commission showed weakness in the stadium's physical structure and emergency security arrangements. The Commission originally blamed the Sports Council. The system was that the Minister of Education and Culture was the chairman of the council. Therefore, taking the moral responsibility of the incident, Minister Keshar Bahadur Bista resigned on May 7, 2045. Interestingly, when the Marichman Shrestha-led government was formed on June 2, 2043, Bista, who was only the Minister of State for Education and Culture, became the Minister of Education and Culture only in the reshuffle of February 26, 2044. The incident happened three days after he became a minister.

Shailaja Acharya

At the meeting of the House of Representatives on July 6, 2049, Minister of Agriculture Shailaja Acharya finished her written speech and started giving her oral speech - "During governance, there is a situation where the commissars who are scattered like a net in the ministry have to sit surrounded". The Ministry of Agriculture is also caught in the net of commissioners.'

She also accused that there is a thicker net in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce than in the Ministry of Agriculture.

At that time, Minister Acharya was involved in a controversy in the process of purchasing chemical fertilizers. She had studied the files after suspecting the commission that it was not coming even after the process of bringing fertilizer from Indonesia 'Country of Origin' was started through the tender process and later it was tried to be brought from Bangladesh. But because it was too late, the fertilizer was purchased from India at an expensive price. Which was publicly questioned. Acharya, who came to the Parliament to answer about it, raised the issue of commission.

After the minister's resignation, the opposition became more aggressive. Those who are raising the issue of corruption got more encouragement . They sought further clarification on the minister's statement. Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala was also in trouble. The then Speaker Damannath Dhungana ruled to answer from the meeting on 9th July to the meeting on 11th. On the other hand, Minister Acharya took a stand not to speak. Finally, Prime Minister Koirala asked for his resignation on the 11th. She also immediately gave .

Ramsharan Mahat

UML MP Krishna Gopal Shrestha took a special time to speak at the meeting of the House of Representatives on July 10, 2053 - 'A fact document is coming to my hand regarding the misappropriation of foreign currency in the matter of the Honorable Minister of Finance who is taking charge of the Ministry of Finance.'

According to the details that he presented in the House of Representatives meeting and which are revealed over time, Mahat opened an account at the Chemical Bank of the United States while he was an employee of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). During the employment period, financial transactions were done through it.

At that time, it was considered illegal for Nepalis to keep money in foreign banks. But Mahat did not keep Nepal's earnings. So he defended himself with the background of account opening . But the UML MPs kept asking for the resignation of one another. The House also kept obstructing . Finally, Mahat announced his resignation in the meeting of the House of Representatives on 16th July so that the charges could be legally investigated. Later, he was acquitted in the investigation conducted by the Revenue Investigation Department. On October 1, Mahat was again appointed as the Minister of Finance.

Mahesh Acharya

Mahesh Acharya was the finance minister of the Krishna Prasad Bhattarai-led government formed in 2056. Despite Acharya's disagreement, Bhattarai appointed Tilak Rawal as the Governor of Rashtra Bank in January 2056. Expressing dissatisfaction, Acharya resigned. But in March, the government collapsed and a new government was formed under the leadership of Girija Prasad Koirala. Acharya became the finance minister in the newly formed government. In October 2057, Acharya was also given the responsibility of the Ministry of Defense.

Governor Rawal, who was appointed by the previous government, was dismissed by the new government in August 2057. Rawal went to the Supreme Court against that.

In January 2057, Acharya got only the responsibility of Defense Minister after the reorganization of the Council of Ministers. Ram Sharan Mahat was appointed as Finance Minister.

On the 15th of Chait, the Supreme Court ordered Rawal to be reinstated for the full term.

Acharya, the finance minister who relieved Rawal, had already become the defense minister at that time. But on the day after the Supreme Court's order, Acharya submitted his resignation to the Prime Minister stating that the Supreme Court reinstated the person who had decided to remove him as a departmental minister as illegal and contrary to the rules, stating that it is not ethical to stay in the position . But Prime Minister Koirala did not accept his resignation.

Janardan Sharma

Janardan Sharma was the finance minister of the Sher Bahadur Deuba-led government formed in 2078. During the preparation of the 2079/80 budget, he got into a controversy. The main opposition party CPN-UML blocked the House demanding his resignation and the formation of a parliamentary inquiry committee after he was accused of manipulating the tax rate by involving unauthorized persons during the budget preparation. Finally, on June 22, an 11-member investigation committee was formed.

UML has been demanding the resignation of the finance minister since the accusations were made and he would not listen to the answer. On the same day that the committee was formed, UML also boycotted the speech made by Minister Sharma from the rostrum. During the speech, Sharma announced his resignation. He said, "I also announce that I have resigned from my position to pave the way for this investigation." The

committee submitted its report on July 13. In which former finance minister Sharma was acquitted. However, the UML MPs had a different view on the report. After being acquitted by the committee, Prime Minister Deuba reappointed him as the finance minister on July 15th.

Gokul Prasad Baskota

Gokul Prasad Baskota became the Minister of Communication and Information Technology in the KP Sharma Oli-led government formed in 2074. Although he was a state minister in the beginning, he later became a minister .

In February 2076, the audio of Minister Baskota dealing for the commission received by him in the purchase of Security Press was released. In that, he has dealt with a representative of Security Press, Vijay Prakash Sharma Mishra, for a commission of 70 crore rupees. Important details such as notes and passports have been getting into controversy due to the Security Press Commission, which is going to be established to print them in Nepal, but the audio of Minister Baskota was made public.

Congress blocked the Parliament meeting on February 8, 2076, demanding the resignation of Baskota, who is in controversy. Baskota also resigned on the same day. He wrote on X (Twitter at that time) - 'As a question has been raised about me, I am informing the Honorable Prime Minister that I have resigned from the post of minister on the basis of ethics.' Thank you .'

The list of ministers who have resigned or been dismissed due to controversy in Nepal's power politics is long . For example, Prabhu Shah, Minister of Land Reforms in the Baburam Bhattarai-led government formed in 2068, was forced to resign after being implicated in the murder of Vishwa Hindu Sangh President Kashinath Tiwari. The Defense Minister of the same government, Sharatsingh Bhandari, was relieved of his post due to controversy after he said that the Constitution and the law cannot stop the people of 22 districts of Terai from secession.

Similarly, in the Sushil Koirala-led government formed in 2070, Agriculture Minister Hari Parajuli also got into controversy after a video of him behaving rudely towards women while celebrating Paddy Day on June 15, 2072 was released. He had to resign the next day. Sher Bahadur Tamang, Minister of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs of the KP Sharma Oli-led government formed in 2074, got into a controversy when he expressed that Nepali female students going to study in Bangladesh must sell themselves somewhere to get a certificate. Although he gave a clarification, he was forced to resign after the criticism did not subside. Even if the
