The government has hinted that it would not form a parliamentary committee to probe fraud charges against Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane.

At a time when the main opposition Nepali Congress is giving an ultimatum to form the parliamentary probe committee, the government has said that it does not see that situation.

Minister for Communications and Information Technology and government spokesperson Rekha Sharma said that sufficient evidence has not been found against the home minister to prove him guilty in the cooperative scam.

“Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal and the home minister themselves have expressed their views on the demand raised by the Nepali Congress, " she said.

The Congress has been obstructing the Parliament proceedings demanding formation of the parliamentary committee to probe charges against Home Minister Lamichhane for the past one month.

The party has been saying that it would not allow the House to proceed with its business until such a panel is formed.
