Paudel said, “He (Lamichhane) should not have assumed the role of Minister of Home Affairs given the doubts surrounding him.”


As a member of the House of Representatives, Paudel stressed the importance of upholding ethical standards in public office, stating, “Therefore, I insist that he resign from his post, displaying integrity and ethical leadership.”


Furthermore, Paudel criticized the decision of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal to appoint an individual with lingering questions as the Home Minister.


He questioned the rationale behind appointing a person who is entangled in a cooperative fraud case to a position responsible for ensuring justice for cooperative victims.
