Sharma Asks Lamichhane: Why Aren’t You Opening Corruption Files?

Nepali Congress (NC) General Secretary Bishwaprakash Sharma has challenged Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane to continue his efforts against corruption.

Sharma responded to Lamichhane’s claim that the new NC-CPN-UML alliance was formed to halt corruption investigations. He urged the Home Minister to keep exposing corruption while in office.

Addressing the media after the NC Work Executive Committee meeting at President Sher Bahadur Deuba’s residence in Budhanilkantha on Wednesday, Sharma stressed that the next government must take strong anti-corruption measures.

Lamichhane had earlier alleged on Tuesday that the coalition shifted because he started revealing corruption cases.

“Some might think that opening corruption files led to their removal from the government. But isn’t the Home Minister still in office?” Sharma questioned. “He might remain Home Minister until tonight, depending on whether the Prime Minister resigns. If not, he might stay for another month.”
