Dr Sunil Sharma, a member of the House of Representatives, endorsed the opposition demand and demanded resignation of Finance Minister Prakash Mahat. The internal revenue department had seized over 100 kg of gold, which was reportedly smuggled from Hong Kong after it was cleared by the customs department of the Tribhuvan International Airport last week.
