Differences between Oli and Deuba over the 4 proposed ambassadors that have been questioned

Shankarprasad Sharma, the proposed ambassador for India, Prof. Dhanprasad Pandit, Proposed Ambassador to South Africa Prof. Kapilman Shrestha and proposed ambassador for Malaysia Dr. A question has been raised in the committee regarding Netraprasad Timalsina. In their case, the provisions of the constitution are being violated, they are violating the provisions made in the guidelines for the appointment of ambassadors, they are involved in diplomatic capacity and various cases.

There is a difference of opinion between the Prime Minister and UML President KP Sharma Oli and the Chairman of the main ruling party Congress, Sher Bahadur Deuba. UML parliamentarians in the parliamentary hearing committee discussed with Prime Minister Oli and some Congress parliamentarians with Chairman Deuba. Then there was a meeting between Oli and Deuba.

According to MPs, Deuba intends to approve all the recommendations made by the government. The prime minister is in favor of not approving the proposed ambassador who has been questioned.

Prime Minister Oli told Deuba's intention in a meeting with UML MPs who were in the hearing committee. The MPs of the UML gave a 'briefing' about the proposed ambassadors' presentation of action plans and experience, questions of constitutional, legal and diplomatic capacity raised on them during the hearing. After that, the Prime Minister has asked to look into all the issues of the proposed ambassadors. "For those who have questions, they have been asked to look at the law and consult the committee itself," said a UML MP, quoting Prime Minister Oli's statement after listening to the MPs' briefing. The members of the committee briefed their respective party chiefs that there were questions regarding the 4 people.

Parliamentarians are of the view that approving the proposed Ambassador Shankar Sharma for India will violate the 'Ambassador Appointment Guidelines, 2075' issued by the government itself. According to the guidelines, there is a provision that appointments should not be made for consecutive second terms. Sharma was the Ambassador of India from March 2078 to July 14, 2081. The government called him back. Therefore, a complaint has been filed in the committee saying that his approval is against the guidelines. "Ambassadors will not be re-appointed for another term in the country they are currently working in," says section 21 of the guidelines.

Proposed Ambassador for South Africa Prof. A question has been raised that the constitution does not allow Kapilman Shrestha to go to that position. According to the MPs, Shrestha is already a member of the National Human Rights Commission and Article 248 (8) of the Constitution does not allow him to become an ambassador. A complaint has also been filed against him. He was a member of the National Human Rights Commission from 2057 to 2062. Article 248 (8) of the Constitution provides that a person who has been the chairman or a member of the National Human Rights Commission shall not be eligible for appointment to any other government service, but, in any political position or to investigate, examine or investigate any matter or to study or explore any matter. It is not considered that anything written in this clause hinders the appointment of an opinion, opinion or recommendation.

recommendation for ambassador to Israel Prof. Dhan Prasad Pandit is a person who has been sentenced by the court and the complaint that he is unfit to represent the country has been submitted to the hearing committee. During the hearing, the MPs also asked questions based on the complaint. The National Information Commission had written a letter to the University for not providing the information when he was the head of the Padmakanya campus, imposing a fine of 15,000 on Pandit and taking departmental action. 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. A court order against him was also submitted along with the complaint to the committee. During the

hearing, the parliamentarians have also raised questions about the action plan and the diplomatic experience and awareness shown by Pandit. Pandit said he would play a role in ending the Israel-Hamas war. "We should live together in a country where there is a war, if you are a free country, let the Palestinians live and your representative will be ready to suggest that the fighting be reduced and stopped," he said. Let's not think, it belongs to everyone, so if we enjoy it with sacrifice, I don't think this problem will last much.'

The proposed ambassador to Malaysia, Netraprasad Timalsina, is fighting a case against the government in the Supreme Court. In the Nepal Red Cross Society, a complaint has been filed in the hearing committee that the work done by him while he was the chairman of the ad hoc committee and after leaving was against the law. In July 2076, the then Oli-led government appointed Timalsina as the chairman of the ad hoc committee with the mandate to hold a meeting of the Red Cross. After his term ended in 2079, the government appointed Sudarshan Prasad Nepal as the Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee of Red Cross. Timalsina filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court on June 6, 2079 against the government's decision. The case is currently pending in the Supreme Court. In this regard, committee member Shyam Ghimire, who is also the chief whip of the Congress, asked, 'After leaving the Red Cross, you have filed a case against the government, will you be an ambassador with this case or will you withdraw the case?' The MPs said that the matter has been presented to the member and the proposed country, Malaysia.

Among the questions raised, three proposed ambassadors are from the Congress and one from the UML quota. Among them, Sharma proposed for India, Shrestha proposed for South Africa and Pandit proposed for Israel are from Congress Kota, while Ambassador Timalsina proposed for Malaysia is from UML Kota. Prime Minister Oli had said in the discussion with the UML MPs that the Congress MPs in the committee would have taken the initiative to convince Deuba about the three ambassadors that had been questioned.

After hearing the action plans and experiences of the proposed 17 ambassadors, the parliamentary hearing committee meeting did not take place. On August 27th, all the proposed ambassadors had been heard. Amidst the confusion, the meeting of the committee has been called for 11 o'clock on Thursday, October 3rd. Congress MP Gyanendra Bahadur Karki has said that the committee meeting is ready to reach a conclusion from Thursday's meeting. The government has recommended it and sent it. The committee has heard everyone's action plan. Tomorrow (Thursday) will be decided according to how the friends talk. We will reach a conclusion tomorrow according to the sentiments of all honorable people," he said. UML's Sunita Baral said that it will be decided on Thursday only if everyone agrees on the proposed ambassadors. If not, there will be intensive discussion among the committee members about the proposed ambassadors. If it is to be stopped tomorrow, we will examine it further,' Baral said, 'It has already been proven that the committee has its dignity, we will move forward by maintaining it.' told Almost passed, we proceed according to the suggestions of legal experts regarding those who have been questioned publicly. If there is no legal obstacle, we will not stop it," he said.

Leelanath Shrestha, a member of the committee from UML, said that the committee has carefully studied all the issues raised, complaints and non-complaints. "We have carefully studied all the proposed ambassadors, we have looked at all the documents, we have also looked at the complaints, we have also looked at those who have not received complaints," Shrestha said.

In addition to the four ambassadors who have raised questions and disputes, the government has appointed Shivamaya Tumbahangfe in South Korea, Jung Bahadur Chauhan in Russia, Prakashmani Paudel in Portugal, Rita Dhital in Pakistan, Dr. Shail Rupakheti, Sumnima Tuladhar in Denmark, Prof. in China.
