KATHMANDU : The secretariat of the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has denied any meeting with Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) Chief Samant Goel.

Issuing a statement on Thursday, Prachanda’s Press Coordinator Bishnu Sapkota ‘Jugal’ rejected news reports about the meeting between NCP Chairman Prachanda and RAW Chief Goel in some online news portals.

The statement also condemns such news as ‘false, fabricated and misleading’. Earlier on Wednesday, Goel, the director of India’s primary espionage agency RAW, had arrived Kathmandu from New Delhi via a special chartered flight (IFC4620).

He has already returned to New Delhi after meeting Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and other senior political leaders.
