May 07, Kathmandu- The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has decided to reject the formation of a parliamentary inquiry committee.

RSP took this decision when there were demands for the formation of a parliamentary inquiry committee to investigate the case of co-operative embezzlement.

The meeting of the parliamentary party held on Tuesday morning has decided that it is not appropriate to form an inquiry committee based on the fact that its chairman Rabi Lamichhane made false accusations in the co-operative embezzlement case and filed a complaint.

RSP Co-Spokesperson Manish Jha said that the party decided to keep the matter that 'we cannot support the formation of the Parliamentary Inquiry Committee' in the meeting of the top leaders of major parties called by the Speaker on Tuesday.

Jha said that if the other parties in the ruling coalition officially decide to form an inquiry committee, they are also ready to make a decision.

"If the ruling party and all the parties in the coalition conclude by making an all-party decision, where is our disagreement? If all the parties come together and say let's investigate, we will not stop", he said.

Similarly, he said, the meeting also reviewed the matter of the ministers being more involved in the work of laying the structural foundation in the two months since the party joined the government.

The meeting also discussed how to make the budget session of the House, which will be held from 28, effective. The main opposition party Nepali Congress has been demanding the formation of a parliamentary committee to investigate the case of misappropriation of cooperative funds.
