Nepali Congress General Secretary Pradip Paudel Questions Government's Intentions Following Sudden Parliament Adjournment

Kathmandu. Nepali Congress General Secretary Pradip Paudel has remarked that the adjournment of the parliamentary session within 24 hours of its summoning raises serious questions about the government's intentions.

Expressing his views through social media, General Secretary Paudel also raised concerns about whether a government with a strong majority is attempting to bypass the parliament in favor of ordinances instead of taking the legislature into confidence regarding policy-making.

Paudel questioned why the government's political confidence is so weak despite having comfortable parliamentary arithmetic and a favorable political environment. He wrote, "Why is the government's political confidence so weak despite comfortable parliamentary arithmetic and a favorable political environment?"

Stating that transparency in methods and procedures must be given high priority in a democracy, General Secretary Paudel said that seeking results by bypassing processes devalues both the system and its dignity. He demanded that the government uphold the dignity of the elected institution like the parliament and move forward transparently by taking the parliament into full confidence.
