Dr. Khatiwada resigned from the post of minister a few days ago. Khatiwada, who was nominated to the National Assembly for two years, became a minister for six months as a non-MP.
Khatiwada resigned as minister after the government decided to nominate Bamdev Gautam, vice-chairman of the ruling Communist Party of Nepal (CPN), for a vacant seat in the National Assembly.
