Nepali Congress General Minister Gagan Thapa has said that the attempt to remove the Deputy Speaker has been raised due to the different behavior of the government in two cases of abuse of public office.
Speaking at the meeting of the House of Representatives on Thursday, Thapa said that the government and the ruling parties were accused of being 'selective' regarding the signing of the removal of the Deputy Speaker and the general public raised questions.
He said, 'By abusing public office, Japan was taken away and left. But why was there no investigation about it? If the government had not shown mercy to those who take people to Japan, there would be no noise when America tries to punish those who take people and leave them.'
Last year, three youths went to Japan along with the then Law Minister and UML leader Leela Ballabh Adhikari to attend a program in Japan. A case was filed against them after it was found that they were taken there after collecting money from them. But the official was acquitted.
General Minister Thapa has expressed his displeasure with the action taken by the ruling parties in a similar incident against the Deputy Speaker in connection with the same incident. Although the Congress-UML collected the signatures of MPs to remove Deputy Speaker Indira Ranamar from the post, General Minister Thapa had a different opinion.
