Members of the House of Representatives have strongly criticised US Ambassador to Nepal James F Moriarty for his political statements and comments on Nepal’s internal affairs.
Speaking at a special session of the parliament on Sunday, lawmaker of People’s Front Nepal Lilamani Pokhrel said that Moriarty has been interfering in Nepal’s politics either by visiting several army barracks or by giving political statements.
“Why is the government not taking the issue seriously and why is it letting him get involved in such political activities here?,” Pokhrel asked. He also demanded his expulsion from Nepal.
“Either the government should order Moriarty to leave the country or he should abide by diplomatic norms,” he added.
“Can our ambassador to the US visit American army barracks and report it to the government here?” Pokhrel asked, referring to Moriarty’s recent visit to mid and far western regions.
Likewise, Nepal Workers’ and Peasants’ Party’s lawmaker Narayan Man Bijukchhe also criticised Moriarty and said that he has been interfering in the domestic affairs of a sovereign country.
MPs also criticised the government for its “inability” to maintain law and order.
Saying that Home Minister Krishna Prasad Sitaula is unable to perform his duty, MP Pokhrel demanded his resignation.
