Kathmandu, September 27

Nepali Congress senior leader Ram Chandra Paudel has accused the incumbent government of trying to cover the truth of the rape and murder of Niramala Pant from Bhimdatta Nagar of Kanchanpur district around two months ago.

The leader says the government has not made public the report submitted by an investigation committee intentionally.

The panel led by Home Ministry’s Joint Secretary Hari Prasad Mainali had submitted the report to Minister Ram Bahadur Thapa on Tuesday. The government has not made it public till now.

Speaking with journalists upon his arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport after a trip to Europe on Thursday, Paudel demanded that the report be made public at the earliest.

Meanwhile, Paudel also criticised the government for giving back the assignment of construction 1,200 megawatt Budhigandaki Hydropower Project to the China Gezhouba Group Company.

In another context, he suggested that the party leadership revise its statute so as to incorporate the party’s cadres living abroad and their organisations.
