KATHMANDU, May 28: The Ministry of Labor and Employment has refuted a news report with regard to the Nepali migrant workers in Qatar and carried in The Guardian newspaper on May 24.

In a press release issued on Thursday, the ministry stated its attention has been drawn to the said news inaccurately quoting Minister of State for Labor and Employment Tek Bahadur Gurung with regard to the Nepali workers in Qatar in the wake of the devastating earthquake of 25 April.


"The content of the news report does not reflect the spirit of the minister of state, who had just appealed, in a good faith, all employers of Qatar to facilitate the return of the Nepali workers to join their family members in the country who have been victims of the recent earthquake. We have the report that the employers of Qatar have responded very positively to this matter and Nepali workers are being facilitated by their employers to return to Nepal," the press release states.

The ministry expects fact-based and responsible news reporting from a reputed newspaper like The Guardian in the future, the Ministry said, expressing its full confidence that such unfounded news report would not affect the excellent bilateral relations subsisting between Nepal and Qatar. RSS
