NC urges formation of parliamentary committee to probe cooperative fraud allegations

Alleges evidence points to Home Minister Lamichhane's role in fraud case



KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress (NC), the principal opposition party, has called for the establishment of a parliamentary committee to investigate the cooperative fraud case.

During Tuesday’s House of Representatives (HoR) session, Ramesh Lekhak, the party’s chief whip, asserted that evidence suggests Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane’s involvement, warranting thorough scrutiny by a parliamentary committee.

Lekhak emphasized that failure to address the opposition’s demands would hold the government accountable for any disruptions to parliamentary proceedings.

Earlier, Prime Minister Dahal refuted claims of Lamichhane’s involvement, citing a lack of evidence.

However, he pledged to take action if Lamichhane is found guilty, accusing NC of politicizing the issue.

PM Dahal assured that he personally monitors the case and found no evidence of Lamichhane’s involvement.

He urged NC not to impede parliamentary sessions.
