KATHMANDU, Feb 18: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has assured parliament of implementing the findings of the commission of inquiry into the Balkumari incident.

Addressing questions raised by opposition parties during the House of Representatives meeting today, the PM said that he is yet to receive the report.

"I will be reviewing the report later today. I have not seen it yet. Today, there is a Cabinet meeting scheduled. Necessary action will be taken after a thorough examination of the report," he stated.

Prior to this, MPs from the CPN-UML, Rastriya Swatantra Party, and Rastriya Prajatantra Party demanded the dismissal of Physical Infrastructure and Transport Minister Prakash Jwala, who was found guilty by the inquiry commission.

The inquiry commission submitted its findings to Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Narayankaji Shrestha on Friday. The inquiry commission found Minister Jwala guilty in the deaths of two youths during the Balkumari demonstration on December 29 last year.
