Ganga Dahal, daughter of Nepali Communist Party (NCP) coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda,' has publicly declared her family's readiness to undergo any legal investigation by state authorities. She also called on the government to seriously address what she described as persistent rumors targeting her family.
We are always ready for any legal investigation by any state agency under the Constitution and laws created by sacrificing the blood of thousands of martyrs.
"We are always ready for any legal investigation by any state agency under the Constitution and laws created by sacrificing the blood of thousands of martyrs," Dahal wrote on social media. She questioned the timing and motives behind the recurring rumors, urging the government to pay attention. Dahal emphasized her family's resilience, having faced death threats, and stated their commitment to honesty. "We may face death, but we cannot deceive the people. That is our upbringing," she wrote.
But why are such rumours spread from time to time? For what purpose are they being spread? I want to draw the governmentโs serious attention to this.
Dahal specifically addressed her role as a supportive daughter, asking if assisting her father, even at personal cost, constitutes a crime. She denied any financial misconduct or abuse of power by herself or her family, past or future. Dahal reminded the public that the family had previously submitted property details to the government and pledged cooperation with any investigation. "We will cooperate with any investigation conducted by the government, and if wrongdoing is proven, we will face the consequences," she stated.
We may face death, but we cannot deceive the people. That is our upbringing.
However, Dahal drew a line at unsubstantiated allegations. "But accusations without reason and without any wrongdoing are unacceptable. I reject all such allegations," she declared. Her statement comes amidst ongoing political discussions and scrutiny surrounding prominent political families in Nepal.
We will cooperate with any investigation conducted by the government, and if wrongdoing is proven, we will face the consequences.
