NC to organize mass assembly in Kathmandu on Friday demanding formation of parliamentary probe committee

The main opposition Nepali Congress is to organize a mass meeting in Kathmandu on Friday demanding formation of a parliamentary probe committee to investigate cooperative fraud charges against Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane.

A joint meeting of the Central Committee and Parliamentary Party decided to organize a mass assembly for the justice of the victims of cooperatives.

Congress central member and lawmaker Dila Sangraula said that the government is heading on the path of authoritarianism instead of forming a parliamentary probe committee to look into cooperative fraud cases.

She said that the Congress leaders are compelled to hit the streets against the undemocratic culture of the government.

“Now, Congress leaders will take to the streets. We have decided to stage the protest not only in the Parliament but also on the roads. Our protest will continue until the parliamentary probe committee is formed and the victims of cooperatives get justice,” she said.
