KATHMANDU: The main opposition party, CPN (Maoist Centre), has called on Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak to pave the way for an impartial investigation into the ongoing visit visa scandal.
During the zero hour of the National Assembly meeting today, Maoist Centre lawmaker Suresh Ale Magar questioned the possibility of a fair probe while Minister Lekhak remains in office.
“We believe the Home Minister may not be personally involved in wrongdoing, but facts and circumstances do not support that belief,” Ale Magar said, “If he truly considers himself honest and ethical, he should help clear the path for a credible investigation.”
Ale Magar raised concerns about individuals previously implicated in controversies being assigned key responsibilities such as immigration at the airport.
He questioned why officials with questionable backgrounds were placed in such sensitive positions, suggesting the need for deeper scrutiny of internal appointments under the Home Ministry.
