Nepalese in US rush for ambassadorial position
BY OUR CORRESPONDENT IN THE US
When Murariraj Sharma's name was named for the position of Nepalese ambassador to USA, New Yorker Nepalese started fighting over it. Ananda Bista deserves the position says Mirdula Koirala, a restaurant lady, but Bista proposed Mridula's name for some reason. Shyam Karki got upset because his name was not there. In DC, Rajendra Oli and Prem Sangroula, both are rushing for the position. Meanwhile, Kiran Sitoula, editor, "nepalipost" claimed: "I was the loudest person in the protest rally for democracy to make my uncle Krishna Sitoula as home Minister. So, I deserve the position". On the other hand, Girish Pokhrel of "nepalipost.com" is also requesting Prachand to recommend his name from the Maoist side. Pokhrel already gave word to Lekhnath Bhandari that if he becomes the ambassador, he will appoint Bhandari as first secretary.
