Opposition Lawmakers Disrupt House Meeting Over Draft Rules

Kathmandu. Opposition party lawmakers have created a ruckus regarding the discussion on the draft report of the House of Representatives Regulations.

In the meeting that started at 8:30 PM on Sunday, opposition parties Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, and CPN-Maoist Centre lawmakers surrounded the well and chanted slogans loudly. They also surrounded the Speaker's seat, demanding that the report submitted by the Regulations Drafting Committee be sent to a parliamentary committee for further discussion.

According to the agenda, the House of Representatives Regulations were being prepared to be presented to the House for decision after clause-wise discussion. During this, opposition lawmakers began their protest, maintaining their stance that the regulations should be sent back to the parliamentary committee.

Some lawmakers had registered amendment proposals on the report prepared by the House of Representatives Regulations Drafting Committee, formed under the leadership of Rastriya Swatantra Party lawmaker Ganesh Parajuli.
