The government has removed the names of Asha Lama and Sharmila Parajuli from the list of newly appointed ambassadors following the revelation of their dubious credentials.Last week, the government had appointed Lama and Parajuli as ambassadors to the UAE and Oman respectively. While Lama was recommended by the Nepali Congress (NC), Parajuli was a candidate of Madhesi Jan Adhikar Forum (Democratic).
Lama and Parajuli own labour recruitment agencies, and face multiple charges of swindling Nepali migrant workers. They have also been found guilty in several cases, and many swindled migrant workers are waiting for compensation from their companies.Amidst controversy over the appointments of Lama and Parajui, the government has sent the list of new ambassador nominees to the Parliamentary Hearing Committee (PHC). And the list does not include the names of the two controversial women.Sources said NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba had asked Foreign Affairs Minister Prakash Saran Mahat last week to not send the names of Lama and Parajuli to the PHC.
