The Parliamentary Hearing Committee has sought complaints or information from the public regarding ambassadors recommended by the government for 13 countries.

According to a public notice issued by the committee today, anyone who considers a nominee unsuitable for the post may file a complaint with clear grounds and evidence. Complaints can be registered at the Federal Parliament Secretariat or the relevant District Administration Office within 10 days of the notice's first publication.

Complaints must specify the proposed ambassador's name, address, position, and the grounds for the complaint. The Cabinet meeting of Asoj 2 had recommended Dr. Nishchal Nath Pandey for India, Dr. Kalyan Raj Sharma for China, Chiranjung Thapa for the United States, Gaurab Shumsher Jung Bahadur Rana for Britain, and Saru Joshi for Germany.

Ambassadors have also been recommended for Israel, Spain, Japan, Oman, Malaysia, South Korea, Sri Lanka and Saudi Arabia. The committee's meeting on Asoj 8 had decided to begin the hearing process.
