Sudan Gurung has issued a clarification regarding recent media reports about his share investments, stating that all his investments are transparent and legally compliant.

Taking to social media, Gurung emphasized that his investments were made through proper banking channels and in accordance with the law.

Addressing claims that Rs. 2.5 million worth of shares were not disclosed, he stated that he has already declared investments exceeding Rs. 20 million in his asset disclosure. He explained that investments in Star and Liberty Micro were included within the same category and that the issue was merely one of technical classification, not concealment.

According to Gurung, the investments were made prior to assuming ministerial office, and the source of funds is entirely legitimate. He stated that the investments were financed through loans, supported by documented agreements, and all transactions were conducted via banking channels.

Rejecting allegations of conflict of interest, Gurung clarified that the matter falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Money Laundering Investigation, and he has not interfered in any investigation process.

He also urged that personal investments should not be unnecessarily politicized and expressed his willingness to cooperate with any investigation. “Decisions should be based on evidence, not speculation,” he said
