Kathmandu, July 25: CPN (UML) Chairman KP Sharma Oli has returned home on completion of his week-long visit to Cambodia. He had left for Cambodia on July 18 in connection with observation of the general election there.
Oli’s entourage comprised of six leaders including Radhika Shakya, party deputy general-secretary Bishnu Rimal and the Secretariat members.
While in Cambodia, the UML Chair met with the Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. Similarly, he had a meeting with Sri Lanka former President Maithripala Sirisena and former President of Nigeria, Jonathan Goodluck, the UML Secretariat stated.
Leader Oli also observed the general election held recently in Cambodia.
Responding the queries about gold smuggling, former Prime Minister Oli criticised the recent responses by the Home Minister about the gold smuggling cases. Home Minister Narayan Kaji Shrestha had recently vowed that he will not compromise any interference whether from Baluwatar (PM Residence), Budhanilakantha (Deuba’s Home) or Balkot (Oli’s residence).
Chairman Oli said that he was astonished after hearing the remarks of Home Minister Shrestha because the security agencies have been mobilised under Home Ministry. “It’s their job to control smugglings, and it’s not wise to critise the opposition leader.”
