MP Bogati Demands Immediate Resettlement for Homeless, Criticizes Government Over Rising Inflation

Kathmandu. CPN (UML) MP Yagya Bahadur Bogati has demanded that the government immediately arrange for the proper resettlement of homeless Sukumbasi people. Speaking in the zero hour of the House of Representatives meeting on Tuesday, MP Bogati expressed anger, accusing the government of showing inhumane behavior towards the Sukumbasi and the poor. He warned the government to stop such actions immediately, mentioning that the government itself has driven bulldozers to demolish the houses of the poor while clearing Sukumbasi settlements. Presenting data that the problems of Dalits, landless Sukumbasi, and unorganized settlers, totaling 1,129,517 families, remain unresolved, he accused the government of making them homeless instead of solving their problems. Presenting his views in the meeting, MP Bogati said, 'The problem of Dalits, landless Sukumbasi, and unorganized settlers totaling 1,129,517 is still unresolved. The work this government has done, demolishing the houses of the poor instead of solving such problems, is a very condemnable incident. The government must stop such actions. And I strongly demand that the government immediately arrange for the resettlement of those whose houses have been demolished and who have been rendered homeless.' Along with the Sukumbasi problem, MP Bogati also drew the government's attention to the rising inflation in the country. He stated that the government should not delay in taking effective steps to control inflation, as the poor are suffering heavily from it.
