Issuing a press statement, NC President Sushil Koirala said the party is taken aback by the government´s failure to arrest the guilty despite the fact that Paras himself admitted the wrongdoing. [break]
“Nepali Congress strongly demands that the government immediately arrest him and initiate legal action to make sure similar incidents do not repeat in future,” said the statement.
President Koirala also held a meeting with the Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal Monday morning to discuss taking action against Paras.
Paras had opened fire at Rubel Chaudhary at Tiger Top Resort in Chitwan Saturday night. He reportedly opened fire at Chaudhary alleging that his family members had conspired to abolish Nepal´s monarchy.
Chaudhary, a Bangladeshi national, married with Melanie Koirala Jost, whose late grandfather Girija Prasad Koirala led democratic uprising in April 2006 that eventually made Nepal a republic.
Separately, NC Parliamentary Party leader Ram Chandra Paudel also denounced the ´anarchic´ act of the former crown prince. “I strongly demand immediate action against the guilty involved,” Paudel said.
