Kathmandu, May 10: Leader of the main opposition party Nepali Congress, Krishna Prasad Sitaula, has called for constituting a parliamentary investigation committee to look into the topic of embezzlement of cooperatives’ amount in which Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane is allegedly linked to.
Putting views on behalf the Nepali Congress in the meeting of the National Assembly, the Upper House of the Federal Parliament, today, he made it clear that it would be difficult to run the House sessions if the said committee was not formed.
“We have been raising voice in the parliament from time to time calling for formation of the parliamentary probe committee. Where there is power, the investigation is halted at that point. We have not called for the Home Minister’s resignation. The reality should be known once question is raised,” he said.
Stating that his party’s parliamentary party has also decided that a parliamentary investigation committee should be formed to probe the Home Minister, leader Sitaula said the parliament’s meeting cannot proceed ahead if the committee is not constituted.
“We are of the belief that the government will form the investigation committee promptly on the basis of consensus,” he added.
