Home Minister Faces Scrutiny Over Phewa Lake Land Allegations

Kathmandu. Harka Sampang, Chairman of the Shram Sanskriti Party, has raised questions regarding Home Minister Sudan Gurung concerning the Phewa Lake land case. In a lengthy social media post on Facebook, he expressed his discomfort over reports alleging that 20 ropanis of land in Phewa Lake are registered under Minister Gurung's name, urging him to hold a press conference to clarify the facts.

Sampang warned that this is a 'matter of morality,' stating that if the Minister fails to respond, the public will lose trust and the police may cease to respect his authority. He clarified that as an opposition leader, it is his official duty to critique and question the Home Minister, emphasizing that his inquiries are professional and legal, not personal.

Sampang commended Home Minister Gurung for arresting the perpetrators of the Gen-Z movement incident on Chaitra 23 and praised his ongoing efforts to penalize wrongdoers, wishing him success in these actions.

However, Sampang reminded Minister Gurung not to forget the two issues he raised in Parliament: taking action against the culprits of the Gen-Z movement incident on Chaitra 24 and arresting GB Rai to ensure justice for Rabi Lamichhane.

'People who work hard often face criticism and obstacles,' Sampang wrote in his post, 'but it is uncomfortable to see social media heating up over reports that 20 ropanis of land in Pokhara's Phewa Lake are in your name. Please hold a press conference to clarify the truth!'

Sampang expressed hope that the Home Minister would heed his advice as a brotherly suggestion. He also wished for a day to come soon when he could sincerely congratulate the Home Minister.
