KATHMANDU: Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has asserted a parliamentary committee will not be formed to investigate the cooperative fraud case.

This announcement comes in response to ongoing disruptions of parliamentary sessions by the Nepali Congress, preventing RSP Chairman and Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane from addressing inquiries against him.

Following Thursday’s parliamentary session, RSP Assistant Spokesperson Manish Jha conveyed to the media that the committee demanded by the Nepali Congress will not materialize.

“Initially, we were open to forming a committee, with just two conditions. However, there has been no change in our stance now,” Jha stated.

Furthermore, Jha emphasized that an investigation should extend to all accused members of the Nepali Congress, including President Sher Bahadur Deuba, his wife, and son.

The Nepali Congress has persistently called for the establishment of a parliamentary committee to probe Home Minister Lamichhane’s alleged involvement in the cooperative fraud case.

Meanwhile, the RSP has sought permission to address parliamentary sessions to respond to queries raised by opposition parties.

Earlier, Speaker Ghimire granted Home Minister Lamichhane the floor, but proceedings were halted due to continuous obstruction from the Nepali Congress.

Subsequently, CPN-UML Chair KP Sharma Oli and Vice President Dhan Raj Gurung engaged in a heated exchange, leading to a scuffle between lawmakers from both parties within the parliament.
