Home Minister Sudhan Gurung resigned from his post on Wednesday.

Gurung, who was appointed as Home Minister on March 27, resigned just after 26 days in office.

Gurung was under pressure from all sides to resign after being embroiled in the share-related controversy.

He submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Balen Shah on Wednesday, urging authorities to conduct a fair investigation into the matter.

Following his resignation, he stated that morality is greater than position for him.

“I have resigned from the post of Home Minister effective from today itself with the aim of ensuring  that there is an impartial investigation into the matters related to me, there should be no 'conflict of interest' and  impact on it," he wrote, announcing his resignation on the social site.

He said, "I, from my side, have fulfilled my moral responsibility. Now my appeal is --dear journalist friends, Nepali brothers, sisters and youths, if we truly want change, we all should stand on the path of truth, honesty and self- righteousness."
