Kathmandu, March 27: Today’s meeting of the Federal Parliament could not enter the agenda due to protest of opposition parties.
\nSoon after the National Assembly meeting began, lawmakers of the opposition parties protested by standing up from their respective seats.
\nDr Beduram Bhusal of CPN (Unified Socialist) said the government should furnish the reasons why Managing Director of Nepal Electricity Authority, Kul Man Ghising, was dismissed from the post.
\n“The dismissal is a Cabinet decision. As per the Article 76, the Prime Minister should be accountable to the federal parliament. So the Prime Minister should respond to the House”, he argued.
\nSaying the attention of the NA was drawn towards the issue, NA Chairperson Narayan Prasad Dahal urged lawmakers not obstruct today’s business. “Attention of the NA was drawn to it. But we have to pass the bills brought to replace ordinances soon,” he argued.
\nSimilarly, Nepali Congress Parliamentary Party leader at NA, Krishna Prasad Sitaula, requested the opposition parties to help running the meeting because the obstruction would hinder the passage of the replacement bills. Sitaula also reminded the constitutional provision as per which replacement bill should be passed within 60 days of the approval of ordinances.
\nThe NA meeting was postponed for an hour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
