Nepali Congress chief and opposition leader Sher Bahadur Deuba today denounced Nepal’s government led by Prime Minister KP Oli for “vitiating” the “environment of consensus” by recalling its envoy to India.

Participating in a discussion on the government’s policy document in the Parliament, Deuba hit out at the government for “vitiating the environment of consensus” after it recalled the ambassador to India Deep Kumar Upadhyay, who is also a senior Nepali Congress (NC) leader.

The Oli government has sacked Upadhyaya for allegedly conspiring to topple the coalition government and for visiting western Nepal with Indian ambassador to Nepal Ranjit Rae.

Nepalese officials have accused Upadhyaya working “against national interest”.

Upadhyaya continues to stay put in his post in New Delhi,
