In the meeting of the House of Representatives, the issue of the release of Nepali student Bipin Joshi, who is under the control of the Palestinian group Hamas, was once again raised. Rashtriya Jan Morcha President Chitra Bahadur KC raised this issue in the meeting of the House of Representatives on Tuesday. He has also demanded the government to inform the Parliament about the initiatives being taken for Joshi's release.

Stating that the government has not given official information even though it is heard outside that Joshi is still alive, he asked, 'What efforts is the government making for Joshi's release?'

President KC said that Bipin Joshi of Kanchanpur was not the target of the death of 50 thousand people in the Israel-Hamas conflict and the release of the arrested citizens of many countries after the peace agreement between the two sides. He said, 'Doesn't the government have to inform the parliament about this?' He said Vipin alive  Stating that the responsibility of the government will not be fulfilled just because he is there, he also said that the parliament should be informed about the efforts and struggles of the government for his release.

On January 25, Speaker Devraj Ghimire wrote a letter to the Speaker of the Arab Parliament Mohammad Ahmed Al-Yamahi for the early release of Bipin Joshi, a Nepali student kidnapped by Hamas. The government is taking diplomatic initiatives for Joshi's release. Israeli Ambassador to Nepal Shmulik Ari Bash also suggested that parliamentary diplomacy can be used for Bipin's release in a meeting with the Speaker. According to sources in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the issue of Bipin's release has been repeatedly conveyed from the Qatari Embassy in Bhainsepati (Lalitpur) to the Amiri Diwan in Doha.

Amir Althani, who arrived in Nepal last April, was requested by President Ramchandra Poudel and the then Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal to facilitate the release of Bipin as soon as possible. After the second ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was confirmed on January 1, Foreign Minister Arzu Rana Deuba called Qatar's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Mohammad Bin Abdul Aziz Bin Saleh Al Khulaifi and asked them to initiate the release of Bipin.

Hamas made an unexpected attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023 and took 251 people hostage including Nepali student Bipin Joshi. On October 7, 2023, 10 Nepalese students were killed in an attack by the Hamas group on the Israel-Gaza border. Four people were injured in the attack and Joshi was captured by the Hamas group and taken to Gaza. His condition is still unknown.
