Kathmandu, Sept 11: Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Sudan Kiranti has expressed his displeasure saying that ‘his own people’ were piling illegitimate pressure on him while he was active to eliminate anomalies plaguing the country.
Unveiling a book titled ‘Buddhist pilgrimages in Nepal’ here Monday, Minister Kirati clarified that he would rather resign than betraying the country.
Kirati argued, “The leadership of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who had been breaking down the siege conspired against him, is equally necessary for achieving prosperity for the country like in the past to flight.”
