Kathmandu: The meeting of the task force is going on to give validation to the terms of reference (TOR) of the Parliamentary Inquiry Committee.

NC Chief Whip Ramesh Lekhak said an agreement has been made for not mentioning the name or designation of a person in the meeting, held in Baluwatar on Monday.

After the NC Parliamentary Committee meeting, Chief Whip Lekhak said, ‘We have concluded not specifying the name of a person as the person involved in the cooperative embezzlement’s fund, either legally or illegally, will be investigated.’

Previously, after the formation of the parliamentary committee formation, the parties formed a task force to complete the work of the terms of reference.
