The government is likely to withdraw names of two individuals it had earlier picked for ambassadorial positions in the United Arab Emirates and Oman.The government decision to recommend Asha Lama and Sharmila Dhakal as ambassadors for the UAE and Oman respectively has run into controversy.Sources said a Cabinet meeting, most likely on Tuesday, could withdraw the nominations of Lama and Dhakal.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already sent a proposal to the Prime Minister’s Office seeking to withdraw nominations of the two persons in question, added the sources. MoFA sent the proposal to this effect on Sunday following widespread criticism from various quarters over the government decision to nominate the individuals “with controversial background”. Before leaving for Geneva on Sunday, Foreign Minister Prakash Sharan Mahat had instructed Foreign Secretary Shankar Das Bairagi to send a fresh proposal on ambassadorial nominations after soliciting views from Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba.
