What we need to understand is that these people are still citizens of Nepal. Just because they have been granted asylum does not mean that their citizenship rights has ceased. Nepal govt's rationale for not renewing passport is that they have 'dual-citizenship' status which is not allowed in Nepal. However, that rationale is based on false premise that people granted asylum are granted citizenship status by the asylum granting country which is false. Think about it, did Nepal grant citizenship to the bhutanese refugees living for >15 years in Jhapa/Morang? No right? Legally this is the same case.
