UML Chair Oli says some forces active in defaming DPM Lamichhane

Godawari (Kailali), March 19: CPN (UML) Chair KP Sharma Oli has said that some forces were active in defaming Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane by demanding his resignation.

In a press meet organized by the Press Chautari Kailali chapter in Dhangadhi, today, the former Prime Minster Oli claimed that Lamichhane, who has no connection with the cooperatives, was being forcibly implicated to discredit him.

He insisted that Lamichhane had no connection with the cooperatives and that it would have no influence on the investigation. He also stated that cooperative victims will get justice soon. 

"If there is a complaint against any minister or parliamentarian, then there might arise a situation when all positions of minister and parliamentarians would be vacant," Oli said. 

In another context, Former PM Oli commented that one should not react irresponsibly regarding the merger of communist forces connecting that with the power-sharing in government.

Chairman Oli, who arrived in Dhangadhi after inaugurating the 9th district convention of the UML Dadeldhura committee on Monday, has returned to Kathmandu today.(RSS)
