Medical Entrepreneur Durga Prasai Praises Government's Anti-Corruption Drive

Kathmandu. Medical entrepreneur Durga Prasai has expressed his support for the current government's actions against corruption, smuggling, and middlemen, stating that he feels as if he has become the Prime Minister himself.

In a video message released on social media on Saturday afternoon, Prasai expressed his satisfaction that the government has initiated actions on issues he has been raising for the past four years.

Prasai said in the video, 'For the past four years, I have continuously exposed smugglers and corrupt individuals in the country by displaying videos on 300-inch LED screens on the streets. I even spent 1 million to display photos of smugglers as far as Jumla.' He also claimed that the previous government had repeatedly detained him for these actions.

He alleged that 16 Marwari families and 10 Nepali middleman families have colluded to seize control of banks, financial institutions, cooperatives, microfinance, and even remittances coming from abroad, thereby destroying the country.

He stated that he is encouraged by the 'operations' recently conducted by the Home Minister and the Balen administration. 'I am happy with the way they have taken forward, arrested, and taken action on the issues I have been continuously raising,' he said.

He emphasized that all Nepalis should support the government in this campaign.

However, he clarified that he does not support all of the government's actions. He expressed his disagreement with issues such as the SPP, IPS, granting citizenship to Tibetans, and allowing the entry of the US military into Nepal.

At the end of the video, he attached photos and details of some businessmen and groups he had previously exposed, including names such as Pawan Golyan, Vishal Group, Shekhar Golchha, Arun Saraf, and Deepak Bhatt.
