KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s Press Advisor Surya Thapa issued refuted the news relating to PM Oli’s bank account in Switzerland.

Issuing a press note on Wednesday, Press Advisor Thapa said some online media assassinated the Prime Minister’s character by disseminating fake and baseless news referring to the Global Watch Analyses.

“It is deplorable that some media with mala fide intent cast aspersions on PM and misguided people with baseless content,” the press statement said, claiming that PM was taking national lead to unite the country with the feat of constitution amendment and release of Nepal’s revised map by incorporating the encroached lands. “It is clear that it is an organized conspiracy hatched by various elements against Prime Minister Oli at this sensitive moment,” Thapa underscored.

He also urged all Nepali people not to go after such whims and demanded stringent action against those involved in irresponsible journalism that violated the code of conduct.
