  • The hearing will last for 8 days, opposition of parliamentarians of power and opposition saying that the ambassador's recommendation is not proportionate and inclusive.

The parliamentary hearing of ambassadors recommended by the Council of Ministers for 17 countries is starting from Sunday. The hearing of the proposed 17 ambassadors has been approved by the action plan committee.

The Parliamentary Hearing Committee has summoned 4 of the proposed ambassadors on Sunday. Chairman of the committee Ishwari Neupane said that since discussions have been held with those who filed a complaint against the proposed ambassador, they are going to proceed with the hearing process. 9 complaints have been filed, 4 targeted and 5 theoretical. Complaints have been filed against the proposed ambassador for Malaysia, Netraprasad Timilsina, Dhanprasad Pandit for Israel, Shankarprasad Sharma for India and Prada Kapilman Shrestha, proposed for South Africa. Complaints have not been filed against 13 people.

Prada Krishna Prasad Oli proposed for China for the first day of hearing, Sharma for India, Dr. for Germany. Tuladhar has been called on in the proposed Sumnima for Shail Rupakheti and Denmark. After that, there is an action plan to call Pandit proposed for Israel, Timilsina for Malaysia, Rita Dhital for Pakistan, Prakashmani Paudel for Portugal, Rameshchandra Paudel for Qatar, Jung Bahadur Chauhan for Russia and Naresh Vikram Dhakal proposed for Saudi Arabia.

Similarly, Dr. for South Korea. Shivamaya Tumbahamfe, Shrestha for South Africa, Sanil Nepal for Spain, Ramakrishna Bhattarai for Sri Lanka, Chandrakumar Ghimire for Britain and Lokdarshan Regmi proposed for America are ready to be called in the hearing.

Complaints have been made to the committee regarding non-compliance with the Diplomatic Ability and Knowledge, Qualification, Experience and Proportionality and Inclusivity of the proposed Ambassadors, as well as non-compliance with the Ambassador Appointment Guidelines, 2075. In recommending Sharma as ambassador to India, the provisions of the 'Ambassador Appointment Guidelines, 2075' have been violated. It is mentioned in the complaint. In section 21 of the guidelines, there is a provision that one cannot be an ambassador for another term in order to continue working in the country.

With the exit of Congress from the government led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal and the entry of UML, the government decided to recall Sharma at the end of May. After the collapse of the Dahal government and the formation of a government with Congress under the leadership of UML president Oli, Sharma has again been recommended as ambassador to India.

A complaint has been filed against the appointment of South Africa's ambassador as he has been a member of the National Human Rights Commission. He was a member of the National Human Rights Commission from 2057 to 2062. Article 248 (8) of the Constitution prevents Shrestha from going to ambassador.

'A person who has been the chairman or a member of the National Human Rights Commission shall not be eligible for appointment to other government services,' the article states, 'but in a political position or to investigate, examine or investigate any subject or to study or investigate any subject and express an opinion, opinion. It is mentioned in the complaint that Shrestha is considered to be ineligible for the position as the ambassador is considered to be a government service. Earlier, when the Dahal-led government recommended Sushil Pyakurel, who is a member of the commission, as ambassador to South Korea, he wrote a letter to the prime minister to withdraw his name.

A complaint has been filed that the recommended scholar for the ambassador to Israel is unfit to represent the country because he was convicted by the court. The National Information Commission had written a letter to Tribhuvan University for a fine of 15,000 on Pandit and departmental action for not providing the information when he was the head of the Padmakanya campus. Pandit approached the Patan High Court against the order of the commission. In 2078, the Patan High Court decided to uphold the order of the Information Commission and found Pandit guilty.

Timilsina, the proposed ambassador to Malaysia, has been complained about acting against the law after he left the ad-hoc committee chairmanship of Nepal Red Cross Society. In July 2076, the government appointed Timilsina as the chairman of the Red Cross Ad Hoc Committee. After his term ended in 2079, the government appointed Sudarshan Prasad Nepal as the Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee of Red Cross. Against the decision of the government, Timilsina filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court on June 6, 2079. The case is currently pending in the Supreme Court.

It is argued in the complaint that he should not be made an ambassador because he is fighting a case against government agencies including the Prime Minister and Cabinet Office, the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Women, Children and Senior Citizens. It is also mentioned in the complaint that the police are investigating the Kirte case based on the complaint lodged against him at the District Administration Office Kathmandu.

The hearing is about to start when questions are being raised that the government has not followed the constitutional provisions and guidelines on the appointment of ambassadors, which require proportional and inclusive representation of ambassador recommendations. "In the ambassador's recommendation, the issue of inclusiveness and proportional representation has been raised," Neupane said, "The ambassador's recommendation did not include Dalits, Madhesi and Muslims. In addition to the binding provision in the constitution, there is also a theoretical provision. However, the state had to hesitate to implement the theoretical system. She said that the committee decided to call the Foreign Minister and discuss the recommendation.

Parliamentarians of the government and the opposition have objected that the government did not follow the constitutional provision that should be proportional and inclusive while recommending the ambassador. Member of Parliament Jeevan Pariyar, who is also the joint general minister of the ruling Congress, said, '14 people from the Khasary community have been recommended as ambassadors, why has the issue of inclusivity been lost? We will accept this recommendation but the common people will not accept it.'

Rajkishore Yadav, a member of parliament from the ruling Jaspa, Nepal, said that a single caste dominated when recommending the ambassador. In the meeting of the House of Representatives on Wednesday, he said, "The ambassador's recommendation does not seem to be inclusive from any angle." It is recommended to reflect a single ethnic, single cultural identity. Should the government accept the constitution or not?

UML MP Ishwari Gharti submitted the fact that the ambassador's recommendation was inappropriate in the parliamentary hearing committee. 17 recommended ambassadors is a large number. Looking at the recommended percentage, there are 14 Khasaryas (82 percent). Tribal tribe has 3 people (17.64 percent) and women 3 people (17.64 percent). The recommendation of Dalits, Madhesi and Tharu is zero,' Gharti said, 'Previously, the recommendation of ambassadors was Khasarya and men, now there has been a slight increase in tribals and women, but proportional and inclusive is written in the constitution, so this recommendation was not made.' The main opposition Maoist MP Janardan Sharma said that people will raise questions about the government if there is no ambassador's recommendation as per the provision of proportionality and inclusiveness in the constitution. "If we don't include these issues according to the constitution, where will we end up?" Sharma asked, "Who will answer if the dissatisfaction caused by this, the concerned community will not get any rights?"
