Government’s political motive behind corruption case: Leader Singh

Nepali Congress leader Prakash Man Singh has accused the government of working with political bias. Letting off those in supreme power in Lalita Niwas land scam is guided by political motive, he blamed.

Talking to media persons here today, leader Singh wondered why the government let off then prime minister and others having landownership certificate in connection with Lalita Niwas land scam and filed corruption case against others?

"Suprme Commander of the Council of Ministers is Prime Minister. So, he has the major role on Cabinet decision. CIAA was influenced by government and was afraid to file case against those owing land," he added.

Leader Singh further said NC demands action to then prime minister and those with land ownership certificate.

On a different note, he said NC was preparing itself for 14th general convention of the party. For making the convention free and fair, committee was formed to study the active membership.
