A team of the campaign to transform Nepali Congress met Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Sunday requesting the latter to indict all those guilty in corruption, smuggling and other scams.
A 10-member delegation of Congress leaders met the prime minister at Singha Durbar and demanded that the government conduct a fair and unbiased prosecution into the Lalit Niwas land grab scam, the recent gold smuggling, and the fake Bhutanese refugee scam.
The team urged the prime minister to book all those involved in the crimes, regardless of their positions or any other allegiance. They also requested to reach to the root of the fake Bhutanese refugee scam, and punish all those guilty, including Maoist leaders, in the gold smuggling if found .
According to Bhupendra Jung Shahi, one of the leaders present at the meeting, the prime minister pledged to not back out from his commitment to prosecute all those found guilty.
"I am committed to take this campaign to a logical end and I will not back down from my commitment to punish the corrupt people," Shahi quoted Dahal as saying.
A group of second-rung and other leaders have launched a campaign to transform Nepali Congress and have been conducting programmes in various parts of the country.
