“The entire nation is watching. I want to remind everyone that we cannot save democracy and the current political system for too long if the guilty in this scam are let go, without any meaningful action taken against them,” said lawmaker Singh.
Singh also questioned the public prosecutor’s role in prosecuting those accused and arrested in the scam. “Even the police are not happy with the public prosecutor’s role,” he said.
Singh also claimed that efforts were being made to save the culprits and demanded a ruling from the Speaker to make Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal brief parliament on the success made so far against the guilty of the fake Bhutanese refugee scam.
