Addressing party members in Mid-Baneshwor today, Koirala emphasized the importance of Minister Lamichhane’s resignation amidst ongoing allegations.

The Nepali Congress, as the main opposition party, has been vocal in its insistence on Lamichhane’s resignation pending the outcome of the investigation.
