INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Kathmandu, October 19
Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba today said the main opposition party would cooperate with the government
for fair investigation into the murder charge levelled against member of the House of Representatives Mohammad Aftab Alam without any bias
and pressure.
Alam, who is also a central member of the NC, was recently arrested for allegedly masterminding the murder of more than 20
persons by tossing them into a brick kiln alive after they were injured while making bombs in 2008
He was elected HoR member from Rautahat Constituency-2.
A press statement issued by Deuba said, &Procedural delay in any serious case will
cause adverse impact on fact-finding investigation to prove a person guilty or innocent
I hinted at the same in the 12-year-old case of Alam,& the statement read.
Earlier, Deuba was criticised for his remarks at a programme
organised in Bode of Bhaktapur yesterday where he had said Alam arrest was a conspiracy against the NC
Deuba said he issued the statement to clarify yesterday remarks and clear the confusion regarding his party stance on Alam case.
&The NC
believes in rule of law and will never go against fair investigation or inquiry into any case
I firmly believe no innocent person should be punished and no guilty should get impunity,& he said in the statement.
The post Congress to
cooperate in Alam probe appeared first on The Himalayan Times.
