Nepali Congress Whip Nishkal Rai Accuses Government of 'First Arrest, Then Listen' Policy

Nepali Congress Chief Whip Nishkal Rai accused the government of implementing a 'first arrest, then listen' policy, stating that the private sector has been disproportionately affected. Rai criticized the government for instilling fear despite its slogan of encouraging the private sector, noting that prominent industrialists were imprisoned and later released by court order. He also expressed concern that the Finance Minister learns about arrests through the media, indicating a disconnect between the Prime Minister's Office and the Finance Ministry.
