KATHMANDU. Home Minister Sudhan Gurung has remarked that his meeting with party president Rabi Lamichhane was a natural and regular process. He made this brief statement to media representatives after visiting Lamichhane’s residence following controversies regarding shares in a micro-insurance company.
