Kathmandu, August 9
Former Prime Minister and Naya Shakti Party Nepal Coordinator Baburam Bhattarai says the Nepal government should stop sending Nepali youth to work in Qatar, one of the most popular labour destinations, through recruitment agents and agencies.
He demands that governments of the two countries sign an agreement to deploy a government-to-government mechanism to facilitate the labour migration process.
The leader says it will be the best way to stop deceiving and cheating activities surfaced in the sector of late.
Bhattarai says his suggestion is based on chitchats he had with Nepali workers in the Gulf country that he met at an airport there. Bhattarai had recently visited some European countries and came back to Nepal via Qatar.
Meanwhile, a source at the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security says the government has also taken initiatives to sign an agreement between the two countries for the G2G model.
