Bishwa Prakash Sharma: Documents of financial irregularities should be studied

Kathmandu: General Secretary of the Nepali Congress Bishwa Prakash Sharma has said the documents relating to financial irregularities and scams like fake Bhutanese refugees and Giribandhu Tea Estate need to be studied as per law.

Speaking at a program organized to mark the 27th general assembly of the Human Rights and Peace Society, district chapter, Kathmandu at Jorpati today, General Secretary Sharma said that the seven-point agreement between the NC and CPN(UML) was for ending irregularities.

Effective enforcement of the agreement would help people realize good governance, he said, adding that anyone irrespective of faith and position must be brought to book. He, however, advocated for an independent investigation that respects legal provisions.

The rule and law must be taken into account while conducting study and investigation, Sharma reiterated. It is wrong if any political party is involved in protecting those mired in corruption.

On the occasion, the NC leader expressed worry that the fundamental rights enshrined in the constitution were not put into practice. Other speakers on the occasion underlined the need for working together to weed out corruption.
