Sharma also challenged Lamichhane to penalize NC by investigating the case of Giribandhu Tea Estate.
“UML Chairman Oli has accused NC of taking a huge amount of commission by helping sell 70 bighas of land belonging to Giribandhu Tea Estate. I challenge Home Minister Lamichhane to reopen the file and bring NC to book,” said Sharma, asking NC, “Are you ready to reopen the file? I am dead sure you cannot utter even a single word on it, let reopening the file alone.”
Meanwhile, General Secretary Sharma lashed out at Oli for barring Mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Balendra Shah, from expanding the width of the pavement of New Road. Sharma underlined the need to widen the pavement of New Road, endorsing Balendra's plan of road upgradation.
