National Assembly Leader Dangal Demands Government Address Public Concerns Raised in Parliament

Kathmandu. CPN (UML) National Assembly Parliamentary Party Leader Prem Prasad Dangal has demanded that the government immediately address the public interest issues raised by the MPs in the parliament. He made this demand while speaking in the National Assembly meeting on Friday.

Leader Dangal also expressed anger towards the Prime Minister and ministers for not being present in the parliament to answer the questions raised by the MPs. He claimed that the government has kept the issues raised by the MPs in a state of neglect without addressing them.

Leader Dangal cautioned the government to focus on the implementation of the public's work and issues raised by the MPs.

Clarifying the government's indifference to the parliament and violation of the rules, Leader Dangal said, 'The issues raised by the MPs in the parliament have become neglected. So far, not a single honorable minister has appeared at this rostrum to respond to them. Therefore, I want to make an urgent and strong demand – according to the rules, the government should have provided the answers and clarifications regarding the issues raised in the parliament within 7 days.'

'We are moving forward to the 21st meeting. Therefore, the issues we have raised have become neglected. The state has not shown any response to this. Not only this, but what is the status of their implementation? It is the duty of the state to update the representative body about it. Only then will it reach the public. Therefore, through you, Mr. Speaker, I want to request and urge the Government of Nepal – that the contemporary and public interest issues raised in the assembly be immediately addressed by the government. Let them be implemented appropriately.'

Leader Dangal accused the government of being reluctant to be accountable to the parliament, the representative body. He warned the government not to mock democratic values and norms, as the public's problems remain unresolved due to the lack of answers to the issues raised in the parliament.
