Congress aggressive against the Home Minister in the cooperative case

Amidst opposition's obstruction, the Congress has surrounded the well when Speaker Devaraj Ghimire tried to move forward with the agenda of presenting the bill related to political parties from Home Minister Lamichhane in Friday's meeting.

Congress General Minister Gagan Thapa, expressing doubt that the police will investigate his own talukdar minister, has demanded in the Parliament meeting that Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal should give an assurance to the Parliament that there will be a fair investigation against the Home Minister accused of co-operative fraud. Thapa said that since the allegations of Home Minister Lamichhane taking 1 million rupees illegally have been made public, there should be a guarantee that the evidence with the police in this case will not be destroyed. "If Lamichhane was acquitted by saying that he did not take money and that he was not a member of the cooperative, there will be a situation where hundreds of others like him who cheated billions of rupees will also be acquitted," he said.

'More than 1.35 billion money of around 19 thousand people has been embezzled in Suryadarshan Cooperative in Pokhara. Pokhara Metropolitan Municipality conducted the study. After the study, an 89-page report was issued. The report said that 100 people have embezzled about 1.35 billion rupees by opening fake accounts. What it says on the 78th page of that report is that one of the people who opened fake accounts like this is Ravi Lamichhane, said General Minister Thapa, "Home Minister Ravi Lamichhane is Hon. Become the Prime Minister tomorrow. Good luck, you can be. is a separate topic. But Ravi Lamichhane has taken one crore rupees. Not a member of a cooperative. Section 50 of our law says - it is illegal.'

'I heard his explanation. It was 3 minutes and 20 seconds. The explanation says, I don't know if someone has taken my name. If you are not a member of the cooperative, if it is to be believed, then this is exactly the nature of a hundred people taking away one billion rupees. No one has a mortgage. No one is a member of a cooperative. No process has been carried out. One billion,' said Thapa, 'If you are going to leave like this, you should not leave only one person. All must be left. Not only one cooperative should be left, but all cooperatives should be left. Is the government ready to do this? I have a question for the Prime Minister.

He reminded that he was speaking here in the House to investigate all kinds of corruption cases such as the fake Bhutanese refugee case, the gold case and punish the culprits.

Chief Whip of the Congress Parliamentary Party, Ramesh Lekhtar, said whether to proceed with the issue of Lamichhane's resignation will depend on the Prime Minister's answer. Prime Minister Dahal has an agenda to answer on Tuesday. The author said that before answering the questions raised by the MPs, the Prime Minister should give a satisfactory answer to the questions raised by the main opposition. "Questions raised by the main opposition should be addressed differently," he said, "We will raise the issue as soon as the Parliament is in session, then the Prime Minister should answer." Congress Vice President Dhanraj Gurung said that Congress is raising questions in the Parliament because the Prime Minister has appointed the Home Minister as a conflict of interest. The co-victim has filed a complaint. The cooperative victims of Pokhara have also given a memorandum to the Prime Minister for a fair investigation on Sunday. On the one hand, it is doubtful that the investigation will be affected after being the home minister who raises the slogan of good governance, and on the other hand, sits in the body that should be investigated.'' Gurung said, 'The prime minister should assure the parliament that he will not be under pressure and influence.'

Although this matter should not be left in the middle, Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba, who is working on building another coalition, and the leaders close to him, are in favor of not teasing the RASPA, which has 21 seats in the House of Representatives.

Health Minister Mohan Bahadur Basnet, who was also a member of the Congress, was not removed even after the authority took a statement on the charge of being involved in the Teramox case, but some people believe that the party has been damaged by asking for the resignation of Home Minister Lamichhan. "Yesterday, the leadership did not want to remove their own minister even after the authority took a statement. General Minister Gagan Thapa and some dignitaries spoke in Parliament. However, he stood in favor of not removing the party leadership in case of accusations. It is not morally correct to raise the case in Parliament demanding the resignation of Lamichhane, who is accused of the same,'' said a leader of the pro-establishment Congress.
