Former Finance Minister and NC leader Ram Sharan Mahat said that the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is in the interest of Nepal and it needs to be endorsed at the earliest. 

Talking to journalists after the Parliament Party of the meeting held at the Lhotse Hall in the Constituent Assembly building on Tuesday, he said, “Rumours are being created and spread against MCC. This is not under any military strategy. All these are merely baseless things and rumours. I have put my remarks in the meeting in this line.”

Noting that the MCC project has been wrongly made a sponsored propaganda citing it an anti-national agenda, he underlined the need to cut through the misconception propping up against the project. 

Mahat said that the NC parliamentarians should clear their misconceptions against the MCC project.  

Leader Mahat further said that the MCC was not under Indo-Pacific military alliance but merely a development project.

Saying that MCC endorsement should not be delayed anymore, he noted the project should be endorsed within the given timeframe. RSS
