Kathmandu. The Ministry of Finance has expressed serious objection to the rumors and attempts to assassinate Finance Minister Dr Swarnim Wagle in connection with the customs clearance case of electric vehicles. Finance Minister's Private Secretary and Public Relations Adviser Navin Dhungana issued a statement stating that before the budget was announced, there were various criticisms regarding the passing of electric vehicles through some customs checkpoints and claimed that the Finance Minister was unnecessarily involved in it.
