The Curious Case of Rabi Lamichhane

January 31, 2023 07:38 am

Lamichhane’s citizenship saga continues to raise questions and curiosity. In 2018, he renounced his US citizenship after courting controversy. However, before that, he obtained a Nepali passport using his invalid citizenship certificate in 2015. Between 2016 and 2018, he held passports from at least two countries – the US and Nepal.

KATHMANDU, Jan 6: The Supreme Court (SC) has refused to issue an interim order on a writ petition filed against Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane over his citizenship issue. With the court’s decision, Lamichhane’s position as a Member of Parliament (MP) will remain intact even as the case is sub judice at the apex court.
