CPN (Unified Socialist) Chairman Madhav Nepal expressed his commitment that he would help in the investigation of Lalita Niwas land grab case.

Speaking to journalists upon landing at the Tribhuvan International Airport on Monday, the former prime minister said that the Lalita Niwas land grab case should be investigated and vowed to help in the investigation.

“Let there be an investigation in the Lalita Niwas land grab case. I will help in the inquest,” he said.

Leader Nepal claimed that he has no involvement in the Lalita Niwas land grab case.

He said that the Supreme Court had issued an order to proceed with the investigation process of Lalita Niwas scam a day before he left for Europe.

Nepal said it was just a coincidence that the apex court issued the order a day before he left for Europe.

Saying that various decisions pertaining to the land were made when he was the prime minister, the CPN (US) claimed that he had not committed corruption.

“The Supreme Court had issued an order to proceed with the investigation of Lalita Niwas scam. My Europe’s visit was also fixed at the same time. Various decisions pertaining to the land were made when I was the prime minister. Some tried to defame me by linking my name to this issue,” he said, adding, “It was also said that Madav Nepal fled the country. I did not flee when the then king ordered to arrest me. Why should I flee the country if I had not committed any crime. Instead, I shortened the visit.”
