Nepali Congress General Secretary Gagan Thapa said that the Parliament will not be allowed to function until a parliamentary probe committee is formed to investigate fraud charges against Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane.

Organizing a press conference in the Capital on Sunday, he said that Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal will not be allowed to seek a vote of confidence until a parliamentary probe committee is formed.

“We will not let the House proceed with its business until a parliamentary committee is formed. The process to seek a vote of confidence will not move forward,” he said, adding, “We want the federal Parliament to run without any disruption. Our demand is not illegitimate. We believe that the government, prime minister, deputy prime minister will come by forming a parliamentary probe committee before 11 am tomorrow.”
