Nepali sports has been embroiled in the dispute between Paudel and NSC Member Secretary Yubaraj Lama soon after the sports minister sacked the head of the sports governing body on May 16 following a change in the government. The supreme court later issued a stay order and reinstated Lama along with five other sacked NSC members. But both the parties were at loggerheads as Paudel formed an Asian Games preparation committee under Nepal Basketball Association president Lama Tendi Sherpa even though a Lama-led preparation committee was already in existence. As dispute between the Youth and Sports Ministry and National Sports Council (NSC) began taking toll on Nepal’s preparations for the 17th Asian Games, minister Purushottam Paudel said he is ready to sort out the problems to break the deadlock.
