Former Home Minister and Chairman of Rastriya Prajatantra Party Kamal Thapa has refuted the report of the White Paper presented by Finance Minister Dr Ram Saran Mahat, saying that there was excessive misuse of state fund on the recommendation of the then Home Minister Thapa.

He said the statement of the Finance Minister that 500,000 rupees spent per day from 27th December to 19th April is baseless and fake.

A press statement issued by Thapa said that the Finance Minister tried to deceive people by presenting fake reports in the parliament.

The Home Minister of the Royal government also challenged the Finance Minister Rana and the government to prove the fact and take legal action.

The white paper presented by the Finance Minister said that the economic situation of the country is in very difficult situation, due to the unnecessary expenditure made by the previous government, under direct rule of the King.

Former Home Minister Thapa is in detention since Friday after the government arrested him on the recommendation of the high level commission formed to investigate atrocities committed to suppress the pro-democracy movement of the country.
