NC Chief Whip argues demand for Home Minister’s resignation is irrelevant

Kathmandu, June 15: Nepali Congress Chief Whip Shyam Kumar Ghimire has argued that it is not relevant to demand the Home Minister’s resignation being based on a matter of the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA)’s initiating an investigation against a Joint Secretary.

Taking an emergency time in today’s meeting of the House of Representatives, he said Rabi Lamichhane is still recorded in the Election Commission’s records as the chairperson of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) and that it is not appropriate for a person with five ongoing cases in court to be the party chairperson. “Since there has been no news regarding the change of the RSP’s parliamentary party leader, how can Lamichhane, who has been suspended from his position as a Member of Parliament, be the leader of the parliamentary party?” he questioned.
