Do not approve proposed ambassadors Pandit, Shrestha and Timalsina: Aryal

In Thursday's meeting of the parliamentary hearing committee, Aryal said that the proposed ambassador for Israel, Dhanprasad Pandit, the proposed ambassador for South Africa, Kapilman Shrestha, and the proposed ambassador for Malaysia, Netprasad Timalsina, should not be approved. Aryal said that Pandit, who was convicted by the court for hiding information, Timalsina, who is fighting a case against the government in the court, and Shrestha, who has been a member of the Human Rights Commission, should not be made ambassadors.

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.

"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," Article 248 (8) of the Constitution provides, "but, in any political position or investigation, inquiry or investigation of any subject or any subject Nothing written in this sub-section shall be deemed to be an impediment to being appointed to a position to study or investigate and submit opinions, opinions or recommendations.'

Ambassador to Israel recommendation 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 raised questions based on the complaint. The National Information Commission had written a letter to the University for not providing the information when Padmakanya was the head of the 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.

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 ad-hoc committee chairman and after he left 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 ad hoc committee chairman of the 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.

After the hearing of the proposed ambassadors for 17 countries, the parliamentary hearing committee is discussing the decision-making process. During the

discussion, RASP MP Aryal said that under no circumstances should Shrestha, Pandit and Timalsina be sent as ambassadors. He said that the people who have been questioned cannot represent the country properly.
