A meeting of the committee on Wednesay approved Deep Kumar Upadhyay and Dr Arjun Kumar Karki and Deep Kumar Upadhyay, who were nominated as the ambassadors to India and USA respectively, after conducting the parliamentary hearings.

The government had on January 16 proposed the name of Karki and Upadhyay for the ambassadorial posts.

During the meeting, lawmakers suggested Karki and Upadhyay to carry out their duties in line with diplomatic discipline and keeping in mind the country's dignity, integrity and sovereignty.

Three complaints were filed at the committee against Karki while no complaint was filed against Upadhyay.

The ambassadorial posts in both the countries had remained vacant since long.
