Congress Demands Government Response on PM's Statement and Border Encroachment

Kathmandu. The main opposition party Nepali Congress has demanded a response from the government regarding the Prime Minister's statement and encroachment on border areas. In the meeting of the House of Representatives, Congress MP Renuka Kaucha raised questions about the border dispute with India, the increasing activity of the Indian security force (SSB) in Susta, and the government's lack of transparency.  

‘Where is the Prime Minister who made a statement in Parliament saying that we have also encroached on India's border? Why is the government silent when the Indian SSB repeatedly enters Susta and terrifies Nepalis?,’ said MP Kaucha.  

MP Kaucha mentioned that the Indian SSB entered Susta in West Nawalparasi on Jestha 17 and 29, and accused the government of not being able to provide assurance to the border-protecting Nepali brothers and sisters. ‘Did the SSB come to find the border that the Prime Minister encroached upon?,’ she sarcastically asked.  

MP Kaucha expressed anger, accusing the government of hiding various investigation reports. Kaucha demanded the public release of the report submitted by the National Human Rights Commission regarding the movement on Bhadra 23 and 24, and the report of the investigation committee formed regarding Home Minister Sudan Kirati's property dispute.  

‘Forming an investigation committee, receiving the report, but not making it public and re-appointing the same person as minister? Don't the Nepali people need to know what is in the report?,’ Kaucha questioned.
