Main opposition Maoist Center calls for PM Oli’s resignation

KATHMANDU: The main opposition Maoist Center has demanded the resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.

In a meeting of the House of Representatives on Sunday, MP Madhav Sapkota called for the resignation of Prime Minister Oli.

Sapkota criticized the government’s inaction, stating that as a result, Nepal has been placed on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list for money laundering and terrorist financing.

He argued that Prime Minister Oli should step down on moral grounds, asserting that Nepal’s inclusion on the grey list confirmed the government’s failure.

“The FATF has officially placed Nepal on the grey list. This is a shameful outcome caused by the government’s inaction, lack of determination to reform the financial sector, and neglect of good governance,” Sapkota said.

“I deeply regret this and condemn it. This development signals that the government does not prioritize good governance and has utterly failed. The government must step down for the sake of moral responsibility.”

Sapkota also stated that the government no longer holds the trust and confidence of the people.

He called on the House of Representatives to take decisive action to safeguard the honor, prestige, and dignity of the nation.
