Koirala demands formation of high-level probe committee to investigate one quintal gold smuggling case

Nepali Congress leader Shekhar Koirala has demanded the formation of a high-level probe committee to investigate the one quintal gold smuggling case.

Speaking at the Parliament Party meeting, leader Koirala was of the opinion that the high-level probe committee should be formed to take the investigation to a logical conclusion.

CPN (Maoist Center) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal became the Prime Minister with the support of the Nepali Congress.

Prime Minister Dahal himself is not positive towards forming a high-level probe committee to investigate the latest gold smuggling scam.

The CPN-UML has been obstructing Parliament proceedings for a long-time demanding formation of a high-level probe committee.

Last week, Home Minister Narayan Kaji Shrestha had responded to the questions about the gold smuggling in the Parliament.

He had said that another committee is not necessary until the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of the Nepal Police submits the report.

The UML lawmakers have been obstructing Parliament after they were not satisfied with the answers of the Home Minister.

Congress leader Koirala has also demanded the formation of a high-level probe committee to investigate the gold smuggling case like that of the UML.

On the occasion, Koirala said that Nepali has been turning into a hotbed for international smugglers.

Meanwhle, he expressed his dissatisfaction over the arrest of lawmaker Sunil Sharma.
