Nepal: Home Minister Sudan Gurung resigns within three weeks amid corruption allegations
Political tensions have intensified in Nepal after Home Minister Sudan Gurung resigned from his post, just three weeks into office, following allegations of corruption.
According to government sources, the accusations relate to alleged financial irregularities, which surfaced shortly after he assumed charge. While Gurung has denied any wrongdoing, he stated that stepping down was necessary to ensure a fair and impartial investigation.
“In order to maintain the dignity of the office and allow an unbiased inquiry, I have decided to resign,” he said in a brief statement.
Gurung, who rose to prominence through grassroots activism and reform-driven politics, had been seen as a symbol of change. His sudden exit has raised questions about accountability and governance within Nepal’s political system.
Opposition leaders have criticised the government, describing the development as another example of “deep-rooted corruption,” while officials have assured that a transparent investigation will be carried out and appropriate action taken if allegations are proven.
Political analysts say the incident could have broader implications for public trust and the stability of the current administration in Nepal.
