”It is natural to go to give a statement to the commission formed by the government. If I were you, I would have gone ahead and given a statement. There is a question of impartiality. The chairperson should go. He will go. Going to give a statement should not be considered otherwise,” Pokharel said.

The commission led by former Special Court Chairman Gauri Bahadur Karki has formulated a strategy to arrest the then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and the then Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak and bring them for statements.
The term of the commission formed on 5 Asoj is ending in 3 months, i.e. within 5 Poush. With only about 2 weeks left, the commission has not even completed its statements. After completing the statements of the security personnel and administrators deployed in the field and at the level of implementing orders, the commission has started entering the political level.
According to the commission's spokesperson, Vigyanraj Sharma, statements have been completed with about 150 people. Now, the statements of the then Prime Minister Oli, the then Home Minister Lekhak, the then Home Secretary Gokarnamani Duwadi, the Chief of Army Staff Ashok Raj Sigdel and the IGP of Nepal Police Dan Bahadur Karki are yet to be taken. On the morning of 24 Bhadra, Karki was transferred to the Valley Police Chief.
