A question has been raised in the House of Representatives meeting about the appointment of Ravi Lamichhane, the Chairman of RSVP, who was involved in defrauding the public by misappropriating the savings of cooperatives, and making him Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister. The question was raised by parties other than the ruling party in Wednesday's meeting.
Parliamentarians of the main opposition Congress and other parties have drawn the attention of the government by citing the example of the controversial minister in the past, saying that the person of the co-operative fraud should not be in the cabinet. The Congress has also warned that it will make this issue a major issue and will not allow the Parliament to function easily unless the Prime Minister answers.
UML and RSWP have raised a question in the parliament saying that the minister who came to the authority to give a statement earlier should resign. Along with the UML, the RSVP participated in the Pushpa Kamal Dahal government on February 21. The Congress, which came out of the government and became the main opposition bench, has questioned Home Minister Lamichhane about cooperative fraud in the last two meetings of the House of Representatives.
Prime Minister Dahal proposed a vote of confidence in the Wednesday meeting of the House of Representatives. A schedule was set to discuss the proposal and present it for decision. But at the beginning of the meeting, the Congress raised questions about cooperative fraud and Home Minister Lamichhane. Congress whip Sushila Thing reminded the questions raised by the then opposition about the controversial ministers and the ruling given by Speaker Devraj Ghimire to the government.
Prime Minister Dahal's reply about the controversial minister in the meeting on February 24, Thing said, "In the House, what the Prime Minister said in the session about taking action against the controversial minister, we addressed about the controversial minister." I wonder what place he addressed? I want to remember in his own words - he brought in turmoil,' she said.
She said that she made the Home Minister to be the judge in her case. It is stipulated in the law that a judge cannot decide on a conflict of interest case. He has made him the Home Minister so that he can be a judge in his own case, causing chaos in the law. So who will answer it?', she said. Speaker Thing, who spoke on behalf of the Congress on an emergency basis, also demanded the government's response to the issue of former Vice President Nanda Bahadur Pun's secretariat being linked to gold smuggling. "I beg you not to assume that the House will run smoothly until these issues are resolved," she warned.
President of the ruling UML, KP Sharma Oli, said that the issues raised by the Congress should be followed according to the new situation. "Did you feel a little strange when you heard Asti's speech (given by Congress chief whip Ramesh Ukhtar in the House of Representatives on February 24) and watched the Congress's short presentation this morning?" Oli said to the Congress. A new environment and situation has been created. Take this situation forward with ease. Let's go to solve the country's problems.
Oli urged the Congress to play a role in strengthening democracy, strengthening the constitution and the federal democratic republic and making effective implementation, and recalled the achievements of Lamichhane after taking over the Ministry of Home Affairs. As soon as the government is formed, at least they have agreed with the meter-beage victims and made them happy. After communicating with Aarti Sah's mother, the problem has been addressed and sent, such symptoms have started to appear, I want to express my happiness,' said Oli.
MP Vishwa Prakash Sharma, who is also the General Minister of Congress, also insisted that those who raised questions should not be kept in the Cabinet. On February 24, the Prime Minister said that he has come to address the questions that have been raised regarding the ministers who have been indicted. To say that means to say that we could not agree to keep those accused in the cabinet," he said. What that means is that the Prime Minister said while speaking on February 24th that no person who has been publicly accused can remain in the ministerial post even if it is being investigated by any state agency or is yet to be proven. Lamichhane entered into the matter of alleged co-operative fraud. "Investigation process started yesterday under the direction of the Home Minister. However, the representatives of the state who reached Pokhara returned after the government's reshuffle. But the fact is the fact,' he questioned the UML and Raswapa, 'are the opposition from the big to the small honest in that answer or are they weighed down by the weight of that answer?' He criticized Dahal and Oli for appointing a person with dual citizenship as home minister. You talk about principles, within this one year a person with two citizenships and two passports was not made an MP by election? And didn't you make the current and former prime minister the deputy prime minister and the home minister?," he said, "the one who has been made the home minister has defrauded the cooperatives of crores of rupees or not here? Are you worthy?'
When MPs from the main opposition raised questions about the name of the Home Minister in the co-operative fraud, Swarnim Wagle, MP of RSVP, countered by saying that he also knows the Congress. Wagle revealed from the rostrum that the Congress, which sought ethics when it was the home minister, proposed to Lamichhane to become the prime minister a few days ago. "The morals that are sought when being the Home Minister should be sought when the Prime Minister is offered, or, here is the fear, he has to walk in parts." They have to hold on to Chapp and make him the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister," he added, "Congress knows that I am a person who does not speak without proof. If the Congress says that it has not done (the Prime Minister's offer), there is no question of us going around looking for real and fake Congress.'
Prime Minister Dahal defended his Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister. He also expressed his displeasure saying that the Congress was showing double character. A question was raised here as well - to make the person in question a minister? what is this Also got up. I don't even know that? It is also seen that they are going to make him the prime minister," the prime minister said, "Why do we talk about so many double standards? Are you ready to make him the prime minister if he comes to you? So many double standards going on?'
