Dr. Bhattarai challenges Bhim Rawal to substantiate allegation against him



KATHMANDU: Former Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai has challenged CPN-UML leader Bhim Rawal to authenticate his allegation against him on the issue of Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).

Taking to social media, Dr. Bhattarai warned Rawal to confirm his claim that Dr. Bhattarai had reached a secret deal with the United States on Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) when he was the Prime Minister.

“Dr. Bhim Rawal hangs Ph.D. in front of his name. If I have made a secret deal, then he has to disclose it,” Dr. Bhattarai has said raising suspicion over the authenticity of Rawal’s Ph.D.

Bhattarai challenged Rawal to confirm allegations that he had “secretly signed the MCC agreement” when he was prime minister.

“We were busy finalizing the constitution and the peace process. Baburam had secretly signed the MCC agreement,” Rawal had said on Monday.
