Lamichhane’s Fall From Grace

Rabi Lamichhane reclaimed his Nepali citizenship, but not before going through enormous embarrassment. After a momentous Supreme Court judgment removed him as a lawmaker that saw him quitting as deputy prime minister and home minister, he restored his citizenship, which he had earlier relinquished. He is now eager to be re-appointed as Home Minister. He has put pressure on the Prime Minister to nominate him, but the PM is hesitant because various difficulties, such as possessing two passports from different nations, must be settled first. Records revealed he held two passports, and one of two passports, the Nepali one even when he was not a genuine citizen under our laws.
