Rabi Lamichhane to resume party responsibilities immediately



KATHMANDU: Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) President Rabi Lamichhane is set to resume his party duties immediately following his release from prison.

Lamichhane will resume his duties after completing the necessary legal and administrative procedures, according to RSP Acting President Dol Prasad Aryal. In a press release issued on Friday, Aryal stated, “We would like to inform that the party president will immediately return to his core responsibilities after completing the legal and administrative process.”

The RSP also said it respects the decision of the High Court. In its statement, the party said, “The Rastriya Swatantra Party expresses its respect for the order issued yesterday by the Butwal Bench of the Tulsipur High Court to release Lamichhane from prison.”

The party further reaffirmed its commitment to the judicial process. “The RSP has always been committed to the rule of law, legal supremacy, and the judicial process,” the statement said.

“As the cases filed against Lamichhane are still under consideration, and it has become clear that these cases are part of a series of political vendettas initiated by the then autocratic government, the party is confident that the current civilian government will take necessary steps to bring this series of vendettas to a complete end.”

The RSP also expressed gratitude to those who supported Lamichhane during the legal process. “We express our gratitude to justice-loving Nepalis at home and abroad who stood united against political vendettas, as well as to party members and supporters who advocated for justice through various campaigns,” the statement added.
