A cabinet meeting of the new government held on Friday made the decision to this effect.

Earlier, before his dethroning, Oli was planning to appoint 11 ambassadors after 45 days of the recommendation, even in the absence of the Parliamentary Hearing Special Committee after the dissolution of the House of Representatives. On the same lines, KP Oli had appointed various officials in various constitutional bodies.

According to the Parliamentary Laws, any appointment subject to the hearing can be endorsed if the Hearing Committee fails to give a concrete decision in 45 days.

However, the then Oli-led government misinterpreted those appointments can be made after the period even when the Hearing Committee did not exist.

With the reinstatement of the HoR, the Deuba-led government had rejected Oli’s decision to appoint the ambassadors even though the Hearing Committee has also been revived.

Unfortunately, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already sent letters to the concerned nations requesting agreements in the listed names to make appointments as soon as the 45 days are completed.

Poudel put forth a budget of NPR 1.647 trillion through an ordinance. Since then, the ambitious budget has hit roadblocks of sorts.

It has now hit the biggest roadblock as the administration which introduced it is no longer in charge of its implementation.

It is nebulous whether the new Prime Minister will go ahead with this budget and whether he would choose to implement the budget by clearing the legal hindrances.

However, judging by the signs, Sher might not revive the predecessor’s budget plan as all the ministers and staffers who worked for the Oli administration have been ejected from their posts.

From Attorney General Ramesh Badal to secretariat expert Bishnu Rimal, various people have been relieved from their official positions.

Security has been increased at Budhanilkantha as Sher takes charge as the Prime Minister of Nepal. Sher will head to Baluwatar after a short period.

The Prime Minister indicated his suggestion at a meeting with Chief Election Commissioner Dinesh Thapaliya and others of EC. Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad and Prasad Poudel, election commissioners Ram Prasad Bhandari and Janak Devi Tuladhar were also present at this meeting.

He urged the commission to implement the elections swiftly, considering the mid-term elections, due to being held on November 12 and 19.

“On the one hand, COVID pandemic is raging, and on the other, (the) election should be carried out within six months. There is no situation for deferring the election due to the pandemic. Amid the pandemic too, various countries including India, the US, the UK and Brazil have successfully completed elections,” PM Oli said.

The PM reassured the Chief Election Commissioner that adequate security arrangements would be made available. The budget and human resources will also be provided to the EC.

Although the PM advised the EC to conduct the polls in two phases, the Chief Election Commissioner advised the PM to review that decision as the EC is keen on holding the elections in a single phase.

The voters list will be updated after a political consensus emerges about the related laws, which is expected once the viral infection rate drops in the landlocked nation.

In a first public response on the issue, Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli said the Kalapani area at the tri-junction of India, Nepal and Tibet belongs to Nepal.

In this regard, he urged, “India should immediately withdraw its army from there.”

Oli made these sensational statements at a meeting organised by his party’s youth wing ‘Nepal Yuva Sangam’ on November 17, 2019.

“We will not allow even an inch of our territory to be occupied by any country, India must vacate it,” said Oli adding that they will hold dialogues after India “withdraws its army from our land”.

The PM, however, ruled out recommendations that Nepal should come up with an amended map with the contested areas.

As part of this all-party meeting, former PMs, foreign ministers and other key high-level officials urged Oli to take up the matter on an immediate basis.

Even the Nepal Foreign Ministry has made it clear in its statement on November 06, 2019, where it said, “the government is clear that the Kalapani area lies within Nepalese territory.”

In response, Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said, “Our map accurately depicts the sovereign territory of India. The new map has in no manner revised our boundary with Nepal.”

Kumar further added that it’s boundary delineation exercise with Nepal is currently on under the existing mechanism.

“We reiterate our commitment to find a solution through dialogue in the spirit of our close and friendly bilateral relations,” said the official.

India had also stated the two nations should guard against “vested interests trying to create differences between the two”.

Earthquake Reconstruction on Pace

On the occasion, the National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) said that half of the earthquakes who lost their houses in the disaster have already built their new ones. While another 30 percent are in the process of reconstruction.

“We still have a lot to do and we will complete it in the next 20 months,” says Sushil Gyawali, NA Chief.

Meanwhile, more than USD 9 billion fund has already been plagued by the political issues, and the government is also facing USD 4 billion shortfall in the overall reconstruction fund.
