Speaking at an event organized in Kathmandu, Lohani said: “Wide body aircraft procurement scam has been found to have happened during the tenure of two former prime ministers and the incumbent prime minister, with hints of collusion.”
“The guilty should be punished regardless of their position or personality,” he added.
He further accused Tourism Minister Rabindra Adhikari for lying to the parliament regarding the wide body procurement process.
