Harka Sampang (Rai) Boycotts Meeting Citing PM's Absence and Work Style

Kathmandu. Labor Culture Party Chairman Harka Sampang (Rai) has boycotted the meeting protesting the Prime Minister's work style and absence from meetings.

He expressed strong dissatisfaction, stating that representatives are being sent for issues where the Prime Minister himself should be present and accountable.

Speaking to journalists, Chairman Rai commented that the Prime Minister's direct presence and activity are not visible in the country. He also accused the ruling party of working unilaterally in the parliamentary process and trying to suppress the voice of the opposition. Specifically, he claimed that documents for serious matters like policy and programs and the budget were provided with very little time for study, without sufficient discussion.

After boycotting the meeting, he said, 'For issues where the Prime Minister himself should be present and table them, others are being sent. We have boycotted the meeting in protest because it feels as if there is no Prime Minister in the country. This style of giving stacks of books today and asking to read them by tomorrow is not appropriate. Sufficient time has not been given even for serious matters like policy and programs and the budget.'

Informing that his party has walked out of the meeting, Rai said that other parties are also protesting and are in the process of walking out. Signaling that the government is trying to ignore the opposition's voice, he warned that no one can suppress the opposition. He mentioned that the general public will now evaluate these issues raised by the representatives and the government's work style.
