News India Live, Digital Desk:There is a tremendous upheaval in the politics of neighboring country Nepal at this time. Serious allegations of corruption have shaken the foundation of the Pushp Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ government. The latest case is related to the country’s Home Minister Sudan Kirati, who has been accused of serious allegations of misuse of office and financial irregularities. Right now, from the streets of Kathmandu to the Parliament, only the resignation of the Home Minister and this ‘scam’ are being discussed. Opposition parties have opened a front against the government, which has further increased the risk of political instability in Nepal.
The game of greed for power and corruption: What is the whole matter?
Home Minister Sudan Kirati is accused of making changes in government rules to benefit certain business houses. Apart from this, reports of transactions worth crores of rupees are also coming to light regarding transfers and appointments in the police department. Nepal’s investigative agencies have found some strong evidence which directly points towards an organized system of corruption running within the Home Ministry. After this revelation, the scope of investigation against Kirati has been expanded.
‘Prachanda’ bet on the credibility of the government, its own people opened the front
For Nepal’s Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, this situation has become like ‘if you spit, it is spicy, if you swallow, it is bitter’. While on one hand he has been claiming that his government is corruption free, on the other hand these allegations against the most important minister of his own cabinet have tarnished the image of the government. Dissatisfaction regarding Sudan Kirati is also growing within the coalition partners. There is talk that if action is not taken against Kirati soon, some parties in the alliance may withdraw support from the government.
Opposition’s challenge: ‘There will be movement from the streets to the House’
Nepal’s main opposition parties ‘Nepali Congress’ and ‘UML’ have taken up this issue. The proceedings of Parliament are being continuously disrupted and the immediate resignation of the Home Minister is being demanded. Opposition leaders say that an impartial investigation is not possible while Sudan Kirati is in office. At many places in Kathmandu, student organizations burnt the effigy of the Home Minister and staged strong protests. Police had to use water cannon to control the crowd.
Will the Home Minister go to jail? close watch of investigative agencies
Nepal’s Anti-Corruption Agency (CIAA) is closely investigating the matter. According to sources, some suspicious bank accounts and foreign assets have been detected, which may be related to people close to the Home Minister. If these allegations are proved, Sudan Kirati will not only have to lose his chair, but he may also have to go behind the bars. The people of Nepal are now watching whether ‘Prachanda’ protects his minister or supports justice.
