National Assembly Chairman Dahal Urges Members to Rise Above Politics for Public Welfare

Kathmandu. National Assembly Chairman Narayan Prasad Dahal has urged members to play a responsible role rising above political prejudice for public welfare, good governance and prosperity. 

Addressing the first meeting of the session, Chairman Dahal said that the National Assembly has been playing a mature and guardian role for the strengthening of the federal democratic republican system. 

Recalling that the parliament has continued the legislative process despite past challenges and adverse circumstances, he mentioned that parliamentary activities have gained further momentum with the new mandate and the formation of a new government. 

As this session will be primarily considered as the 'Budget Session', Chairman Dahal informed that the government's policy and program, appropriation bill, and budget will be discussed in depth during this period. He also stated that the responsibility of prioritizing and passing important laws such as the Federal Civil Service Bill, School Education Bill, and Nepal Police related bill lies on the shoulders of the parliament. 

He announced that as part of the effort to make the parliament more technology-friendly and inclusive, the use of 'sign language' in the live broadcast of the National Assembly meeting has been started from this session. 

In addition, Chairman Dahal expressed confidence that the under-construction parliament building will be completed soon and the assembly will be conducted from a new building with modern technology, thereby increasing efficiency.
