Kathmandu. Home Minister Sudhan Gurung has clarified that he has been criticized for his actions.

Home Minister Gurung bought 25,000 units of shares in Liberty Micro Life Insurance Company and 25,000 units in Star Micro Insurance. He has clarified about it today.

He said that unnecessary allegations have been made against him and that the truth and the accusation are not the same.

“The decision should be based on evidence, not emotion,” he wrote on Facebook, adding, “However, I fully abide by every decision the party takes on this matter and am ready to cooperate in the investigation.” ’

Explanation about the subject where my name is linked:

Lately, there have been a lot of discussions about my name. Since the subject is presented in a more complicated way, I would like to clarify it in simple language. Clearly, there are a lot of rumors, but it’s important to understand what the facts are.

“Shares worth 2.5 million have been hidden,” it said. The reality is that not all shares are the same. I have clearly mentioned in the portfolio of more than Rs 2 crore investment assets that are traded in the stock market, which can be accessed on the website of the Council of Ministers. The investment in Star Micro Insurance and Liberty Micro has also been included in this group. It’s not a matter of hiding, it’s a matter of classification.

Simply put, the person who hides it does not openly show assets worth more than Rs 2 crore.

“The shares were bought before he became a minister,” it said. Since when did it become a crime to invest in stocks in this country? All transactions have been done through banking channels.

All the money from the bank is accounted for. When it went, where it went, to whom it went, it was all visible. How to hide such money? Where to hide?

Now as far as the source is concerned, the amount I have invested has been raised through a loan, and the written deed of the same is dated 29.05.2080, which is on record.

According to the agreement, the loan amount has come through banking channels and the same amount has been used for investment.

That is, where the money came from is not a matter of conjecture, but a matter of proof by paper and bank records.

It is called “partnership with a controversial person”. There are hundreds of thousands of shareholders in the same company. Buying shares is not about sharing with everyone. If that is the basis, then everyone who invests in the same company will be held to blame in the same way, which is not fair. From media houses to banks, there are investments in the same company. Are they all partners or blameworthy?

The question is simple, is it a crime to be a shareholder, or is it a selective accusation?

Allegations of “conflict of interest ” have also been raised. However, the investigating agency is not the Ministry of Home Affairs, but the Department of Money Laundering under the Ministry of Finance, which is looking into the matter according to the procedure.

If I had intervened, such an investigation process would not have proceeded.

This means clearly, the process is ongoing, not the impact.

The issue of “background checked investment” has also been raised. In business investment, not all future scenarios are known in advance. Every investment has risks.

Blaming a later incident for an earlier decision is not a fact, but an interpretation of convenience.

“Not responding” is also a question. It is not appropriate to react hastily on a legally sensitive issue.

Rumors spread quickly, but the truth comes only with evidence.

“The party’s slogan and behaviour are different,” it said. It is not fair to describe individual investment as collusion with a middleman. Investing and middlemen are different things, it is easy to mix them up and do politics, but the truth is not so simple.

In the end, I just want to say that accusation and truth are not the same thing.

The decision should be based on evidence, not emotion.

However, I will fully abide by every decision taken by the party on this matter and am ready to cooperate with the investigation.

The sacrifices of the martyrs and the essence of the Genji movement make us responsible, to stand on evidence, not in rumors.

Thank you.
