KATHMANDU: General Secretary of the ruling Nepali Congress (NC), Gagan Thapa, has called for an investigation into party Vice-President Dhanraj Gurung, who is allegedly linked to the Miteri Cooperative case in Lalitpur.
Speaking at a program of Nepal Rastra Bank employees in Kathmandu on Monday, Thapa urged the government to examine Gurung’s alleged involvement.
“There have been discussions about NC Vice President Dhanraj Gurung, and the parliamentary committee on cooperatives has looked into this matter. A debate has occurred, and a further investigation is essential,” Thapa noted.
He also called for scrutiny of CPN-UML leader Rishikesh Pokharel, whose name has emerged in connection to the case.
“If there are any wrongdoings, the Nepali Congress, UML, and RSP should all be held accountable,” he stressed.
Thapa stated, “No one is above the law, regardless of their past roles as prime ministers or current positions. The government must ensure that all individuals face justice.” He stated that accountability is crucial for building trust among the public.
