NC Vice President Sharma assures of investigation into properties of party top leaders

Gulmi, Feb 28: Nepali Congress (NC) Vice President Bishwa Prakash Sharma has said the party will launch a campaign for establishing good governance by investigating property ownership of party's top leaders.

He further said the party membership of party leaders facing the corruption charges will be annulled so as to support the legal investigation into the allegations.
