Nepali Congress Calls for Parliamentary Investigation into Cooperative Case Involving Home Minister

Daily News Nepal

The Nepali Congress, the main opposition party in Nepal, is bolstering its stand on a parliamentary inquiry into the cooperative case.

A meeting of party leaders held on Monday at party leader Sher Bahadur Deuba's residence concluded that a committee of parliament is necessary for an unbiased investigation.

In order to further deliberate on this matter, Chairman Deuba, who is also the leader of the parliamentary party, has convened a meeting of the party. On Tuesday morning, a parliamentary party meeting is scheduled to take place at Lhotse Hall in New Baneshwar, as stated by spokesman Mahat.

As Speaker of the Parliament Devraj Ghimire attempts to break the ongoing impasse, this development occurs. On Monday afternoon, he has extended invitations to prominent figures from both the ruling and opposition factions to participate in a discourse. Among the members of the Nepali Congress is Deuba himself.

In a prior "ultimatum" delivered in Parliament, the Congress demanded that the government form a parliamentary committee prior to the subsequent session. The alleged involvement of Home Minister Ravi Lamichhane in the cooperative case is what spurs their demand for an investigation. A parliamentary committee, according to the Congress, is the only method to guarantee an impartial investigation.
