Sanghiya Samajbadi Forum Nepal Chairman Upendra Yadav said it was an insult for the country to not being able to provide security to a high-level foreign guest.

Speaking to journalists in Chitwan on Monday, Yadav said deploying personnel from Indian security forces for the security of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi would down the morale of Nepal Army. “What can be more insulting to a nation than to deploy foreign forces for security despite having security forces of its own,” he said.

Yadav said they were ready to join the government if the national issues were settled through constitution amendment. “We won’t join government simply to get paid,” he said.
