The Nepal government on Friday decided to recall its ambassador to India Deep Kumar Uphadhya, appointed to the position last year in April from the Nepali Congress quota, informed sources said.The cabinet meeting, chaired by Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli on Friday, decided to recall Uphadhya after he held a conversation with Oli in the morning as President Bidhya Devi Bhandari’s India visit was cancelled by Nepal unilaterally, without even informing him.Uphadhya reportedly made his displeasure known to Oli.”It does not look good at a time when Nepal-India ties are back on track and as an ambassador I was not even informed and consulted before the cancellation of the visit,” Uphadhya reportedly told the prime minister.Oli reportedly told Uphadhya that “if you have such kind of reservation about the cancellation of the visit, you can quit”.The Nepali government also accused Ambassador Upadhya of being active in Kathmandu and New Delhi in trying to topple the Oli-led government. Uphadhya is a senior leader of the Nepali Congress which is now in the opposition.
