Former PM Bhattarai for formation of impartial commission to probe corruption cases

The Nepal Samajwadi Party (NSP) Chairperson Dr Baburam Bhattarai has demanded the formation of a strong and impartial commission to investigate corruption cases.

For ending corruption, the former Prime Minister suggested that action should be taken in a structural way instead of booking people individual after individual. He was addressing a press meet in Butwal today.

The formation of a high-level and impartial investigation commission is required at a time when the chief executive of the country is in question, he said. On the Lalita Niwas land scam, he said he was ready to cooperate as the Supreme Court has directed investigations into him in the case. “A little decision might have been taken during my time. This was not my personal matter. I am ready to give my statement.”

On his party, he said his party was moving ahead to fulfill the need of a new and alternative force in the country.
