KATHMANDU: Dr. Mukul Dhakal, the suspended General Secretary of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), has called for the resignation of Chairman Rabi Lamichhane.
Mukul challenged Lamichhane, demanding his resignation in response to an explanation requested by the Acting General Secretary regarding Mukul’s potential suspension from even ordinary membership in the party.
Mukul stated, “I have not made false accusations against you or any other leader; all my claims are based on truth. You should be able to confirm that you stand on moral ground before asking me for an explanation.”
He also brought up the issue of two passport cases linked to Chairman Lamichhane and accused him of manipulating transfers and promotions, alleging that only policy work is being addressed during his tenure as the Home Minister.
Mukul challenged whether Lamichhane would dare to answer these questions and form a fair and independent investigation committee to address the allegations.
He added, “Today, the image of the party is being tarnished, not because of me, but because of you (Lamichhane).”
The hope of the Nepalese people and the seed of alternative politics are being destroyed because of Lamichhane, Dhakal said, adding, “I urge you to resign from the position of party chairman to preserve whatever little moral integrity is left and to give the party a chance to survive and succeed.”
