Kathmandu, Feb 1: Parliamentarians in today’s House of Representatives (HoR) meeting have demanded investigations into the self-immolation by one Prem Prasad Acharya in New Baneshwor some days ago.

Speaking during the special hour in the meeting, Prakash Jwala of the CPN (Unified Socialist) demanded the formation of a judicial commission for investigating the incident.

Similarly, Raj Kishor Yadav of the Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal called for tabling a special proposal relating to the self-immolation at the parliament.

Likewise, Ranjita Shrestha of the Nagarik Unmukti Party demanded a release of ‘innocent’ Tharu inmates.

Stating that patients visiting the country’s grand old Bir Hospital were forced to get treatment at private hospitals by paying high fees for lack of intensive care units (ICUs) in the hospital, Prem Suwal of the Nepal Workers Peasants Party stressed the need for adding ICUs in the hospital.

Also, independent lawmaker Prabhu Sah called for controlling black-marketing.
