Party has no connection with Rai: RSP

Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has said the party has no connection with agriculture expert, Madan Rai. Rai was arrested on Friday on the charge of sexually abusing schoolgirls.

A press release issued by RSP General-Secretary and Spokesperson, Dr Mukul Dhakal, mentioned that the sexual abuse on schoolgirls by Rai was condemnable.

The statement reads, “Our serious attention has been drawn towards the questions regarding Rai’s relation with RSP. We had invited Rai as a guest speaker in a gathering organised at Khula Manch on August 27, 2022. Rai, who even was not a general member of the RSP, was invited as the agriculture expert.  We want to inform you that RSP has no connection and relation with Rai after that programme.”

The RSP also demanded legal action against Rai.
