The government has informed that it has ‘frozen’ the passports of royalist ministers to stop their travel.

The government informed the Supreme Court (SC) on Sunday that their passports were ‘frozen’ owing to their role in the repression of People’s Movement.

The government has also informed the apex court that the ministers have been implicated by the report of Rayamajhi commission and that they are facing actions.

The government submitted its position in response to the apex court’s order for explanation regarding the case filed by former minister Dr. Roop Jyoti.

Dr. Jyoti, who was Minister of State for Finance during royal regime, had filed a writ petition at the apex court saying that his fundamental right has been violated as he was forced to return from the airport as authorities did not allow him to travel abroad.
