The Home Minister said, ”There is political revenge against me, I will resign if it causes trouble to the party.”

The meeting of Congress office bearers on Monday was rocked by the issue raised by the leader Shekhar Koirala and two other MPs that they should publicly resign in connection with the visit visa case involving the Home Minister Ramesh Akhtar.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Home Minister not only expressed his grief over the public comments made by the party leaders that he should resign in connection with the ongoing investigation on the staff, but also responded that he was ready to resign at any time if the party asked him.

One of the office bearers said, "I am ready to resign if there is any inconvenience or non-cooperation to the party in this matter." Don't be forced to resign under the pressure of Parliament. Let that be said today. It is not appropriate for me to sit and disturb the party . Leader Shekhar Koirala has been the target of all current and former officials in the

meeting. The leaders expressed their anger saying that it was impolitic to ask the Home Minister to resign publicly regarding the investigation being conducted by the Commission on Abuse of Authority against an employee.

They have also brought Koirala to the attention of Chairman Deuba to call a meeting of the central committee or officials to discuss this issue. The conclusion of the former officials was that the leaders of their own party raised the issue of resignation when even the opposition did not ask for resignation. Koirala was not present at Monday's meeting as he was outside the capital.

After the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority started an investigation into the visit visa case against Joint Secretary Home Tirtharaj Bhattarai, who is also the Chief Immigration Officer of the Tribhuvan International Airport Office, Congress leader Koirala expressed the opinion that it would be appropriate for the Home Minister to resign.

``There is also a matter of ethics in politics, the home minister should not be involved, but after the issue comes, he should also resign and help the investigation by showing that he is clean'' Koirala said in a conversation with local media persons at Biratnagar Airport in his hometown on Saturday.

After Koirala's statement, Congress MPs Sunil Sharma and Rajendra Bajgai also publicly demanded the resignation of the Home Minister. After the meeting, former Chief Minister Shashank Koirala responded that the party should seek an explanation from those who demanded the resignation of the Home Minister. Apart from his own brother Shekhar, he said that two other MPs should be asked for an explanation.

'What he (Home Minister) said today, I was shocked by it . There is nothing wrong with him. Not an inch wrong . Koirala said, "Whatever the accusation is, it is an accusation." I think it should . There is no other option . In the

meeting, Deputy Chairman Purna Bahadur Khadka said that the senior leaders should resign when the authority did not even take a statement on the joint secretary Bhattarai, who was involved in the investigation, and there was no forensic report and there was no reason or basis for joining the home minister. He held the opinion that there was a serious violation of party discipline.

'Indiscipline within the party has reached its peak. It will be difficult to run the party if you don't stop the random talk . Another leader, quoting Khadka's words, said, "This issue should be raised not only in the officials' meeting but also in the central committee". You can't keep quiet like that.''

In Khadka's opinion, Deuba answered that he was called and asked many times about the things he said in public. "When called, they speak sweet things and go out and speak loudly," said Deuba. In the meeting, General Minister Gagan Thapa, former Deputy Chairman Bimalendranidhi and others said that it is wrong to raise the issue of resignation without facts and basis.

"Whatever is decided in tomorrow's investigation will be according to the same, but now the manner in which there is no basis and facts, but the manner in which it has been done, it is not good at all," said Thapa. According to Shyam Ghimire, the Chief Whip of the Congress Parliamentary Party, who participated in the

meeting, it has been scheduled for the Home Minister to answer the allegations against him in the Parliament meeting on Tuesday. Ghimire said that if the minister takes the responsibility of which employee commits mischief in the Ministry of Home Affairs, which has taken the leadership of one and a half lakh by the police and staff, then there will be no minister left .

'There is corruption in all the ministries of Nepal . The report issued by the international organization also confirms it, some employees of all the ministries are under investigation by the authority,  Some came out, some didn't. The difference is that," he said, "If an employee commits any act of bullying, wrongdoing and corruption, the minister resigns, and the next minister should also resign. All the leaders have raised the fact that there will be a situation where the ministers of all the ministries will have to resign.'

writer also answered the question raised about the hasty transfer of Joint Secretary Bhattarai from immigration to home on that occasion . He replied that Suresh Panthi was the chief immigration officer of the Tribhuvan International Airport office when he went and that Bhattarai was taken there after he himself repeatedly asked for transfer.

Panthiji said that he had to be transferred two or three times. Cavill was an officer. Sit means . However, he said that he should be transferred. I don't think it's appropriate to forcefully tell them to take the lead there unwillingly. Thirtharaj was found while looking for an empty person to whom to send.

Quoting the article 'Pant was transferred to Bhattarai's place and he was taken to immigration', Chief Whip Shyam Ghimire said, "It was exaggerated and there was a well-planned conspiracy against me." Even according to prevailing laws and practices, whoever is guilty will be held responsible. He will suffer the punishment . Legal recognition is that . However, the home minister said that political revenge is being taken against me without understanding.
