Opposition Party Discusses Effective Role in Budget Session

Kathmandu. The opposition party, the Nepali Communist Party, has discussed playing an effective role from the party during the budget session. A meeting of the party held at the parliamentary party office in Singh Durbar on Monday directed leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda to effectively counter the government's wrongdoings. 

MP Gopal Sharma informed that discussions are ongoing regarding protesting in the parliament on issues such as the eight ordinances brought by the government bypassing the parliament and the rules of procedure for the House of Representatives. 

“The government has issued various ordinances bypassing the parliament. The ruling party has tried to implement the rules of procedure for the House of Representatives as if they were special laws. We disagree with that. This is a national issue rather than an issue for a specific party, so our party will oppose it in the parliament,” Sharma told Ratopati. 

Similarly, the Nepali Communist Party is also preparing to protest the demolition of settlements without long-term management of landless squatters. 

The government had brought ordinances by postponing the parliamentary session it had itself called. A special session of the parliament is convening shortly.
