Sudhan Gurung said, ‘For me, morality is above position and there is no greater power than public trust. The ongoing Gen Z movement in Nepal, which is demanding good governance, transparency and accountability, has also given the same message that public life should be clean and leadership should be accountable. If anyone questions the government formed by the blood and sacrifice of my 46 brothers and sisters, then the answer is morality. He has also said that he will fully cooperate in the investigation of the allegations against him.
