Nepali Congress leader Ramesh Lekhak released, vows to continue legal and political battle

Kathmandu. Nepali Congress leader and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak has stated that his legal and political battle continues. He has described the report of the investigation commission led by Gauri Bahadur Karki as biased, vengeful, and incomplete.

Lekhak wrote on Facebook, 'Despite being held in custody for 13 days on criminal charges based on the biased, vengeful, incomplete, and unverified report of the commission formed regarding the events of Bhadra 23 and 24, I have finally been released.'

He mentioned that as a person who follows the law and believes in justice, he will continue his political and legal fight. 'I express my high respect for the honorable Supreme Court for issuing the mandamus. I follow the law and believe in justice. The remaining legal and political battle will continue,' Lekhak wrote. He also expressed his gratitude to everyone who raised their voices for his release.

Lekhak was arrested by the police on Chaitra 14 for allegedly suppressing the Gen-Z movement that took place on Bhadra 23 and 24. He was released on Thursday following a mandamus order from the Supreme Court.
