KATHMANDU: Chief Whip of the main opposition party, CPN-UML, Padam Giri, has demanded the government take action against those involved in the Lalita Niwas land grab scam.
During a special hour of today’s meeting of the House of Representatives, he demanded to carry out an investigation on all issues connected with corruption, claiming that a game is being played to escape the guilty by charging fake cases in the scam.
Chief Whip Giri pointed out the need to bring all big fishes connected with corruption and irregularities under the ambit of law. He expressed the view that people are despaired due to corruption and smuggling which would affect the promotion of good governance.
“Good governance should be promoted by improving the country’s situation. The government should be serious towards it as there is a situation where gained achievement might be lost”, he mentioned.
Drawing the attention of the government towards ongoing activities disturbing communal harmony and inviting conflict in recent periods, Giri stressed that all should be responsible for maintaining social harmony and peace.
