Addressing a press meet at Gaur, the district headquarters of Rautahat, Gachchhadar also urged the media persons not to blow the issue of Karki´s appointment out of proportion, saying Karki could play an important role in curbing corruption. [break]
Gachchhadar´s remarks come at a time when Nepali Congress and CPN-UML have been saying that were not in favor of Karki´s nomination as the chief of CIAA.
Gachchhadar also said the fresh election would be held by mid-December at any cost. “The country will plunge into a crisis if there is no election by mid-December,” he said.
Gachchhadar had vented his ire when journalists sought his comments over his alleged conversation with the murderer of Phaijan Ahmed while the former served as the home minister. He said big media houses had spread this propaganda to tarnish his image.
Claiming innocence, Gachchhadar also said that he is ready to face investigation on the issue anywhere in the world. “Anyone including robbers, thieves, smugglers, criminals can call up the home minister. My personal security officers received all the calls until I served as the home minister,” he said.
On the occasion, he also blamed UCPN (Maoist), NC and the UML for the prolonged political deadlock in the country.
