Makawanpur, Dec 18: Opposition parties in the Bagmati provincial assembly have demanded convening of the winter session of the provincial assembly.
The CPN (Maoist Center), the CPN (Unified Socialist) and the Hamro Nepali Party submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Indra Bahadur Baniya on Wednesday, demanding the winter session. The opposition parties have also accused the government of not being accountable to the parliament and of trying to evade the parliament for a long time.
In the memo, the opposition have also pointed out that government should not close the provincial assembly, a space where people’s voices are heard, for a long time.
The memorandum has been signed by the leader of the parliamentary party of the main opposition party in the provincial assembly, the Maoist Center, Shalikram Jamkattel, Basanta Manandhar of the CPN-US, and Shailendraman Bajracharya, the leader of the parliamentary party of the Hamro Nepali Party.
The parties allege that the Provincial Assembly itself has been held hostage to indecision at a time when the country is in crisis after the ‘Genji Rebellion’ and even the federal parliament has been dissolved.#nepal #rss
