Kathmandu, May 24: Today’s meeting of the National Assembly has been postponed without taking up day’s agenda.
The meeting was put off after the lawmakers of the main opposition party protested standing from their respective seats.
NA Chairperson Narayan Prasad Dahal urged the opposition parties to felicitate for running the business. “We have not been able to discuss on the policies and programmes presented by the government for coming fiscal year. We have not been able to carry out activities on the issues wanted by the people. A day to unveil budget is coming closer. The NA should be more responsible to end parliament deadlock and a time has come to think on it”, he mentioned.
NA Chairperson Dahal announced the postponement of today’s meeting after the opposition parties continued their obstruction.
Likewise, the House of Representatives’ meeting was also obstructed by Nepali Congress and other opposition parties today demanding to form parliamentary probe committee against Home Affairs Minister, Rabi Lamichhane.
The opposition parties have been alleging that Rabi Lamichhane was involved in syphoning millions of rupees from different cooperatives to Gorkha Media Network in which Rabi was the Managing Director and shareholder.
The NA will meet next at 11:30 am on May 26.
