Shram Sanskriti Party MPs Protest Discrimination in Parliament

Kathmandu. Shram Sanskriti Party MPs have expressed anger, stating that the Speaker did not give them time to speak in the parliamentary session. In Wednesday's session, after Speaker DP Aryal gave time to speak to Congress, UML, NCP, and RPP, he was preparing to read out a letter from the Office of the President. At that time, Shram Sanskriti MP Hark Sampang stood up and protested, alleging discrimination and not being given a chance to speak.

There was a brief question-and-answer session between the Speaker and Sampang. During this, the Speaker suggested patience, saying that opposition party MPs would be given time to speak. In the meantime, the Speaker gave time to RPP MP Rima Bishwakarma for a point of order. But Sampang did not stop. Then the Speaker warned against using insulting and undignified words.

"Please be patient, I am speaking. This is not a public gathering outside, this is the high assembly of the House of Representatives," the Speaker said, "Please listen."

However, when Sampang did not stop, the Shram Sanskriti MPs stated that they could not be given time today, even protesting when the minister spoke. After that, he read out the letter from the President regarding the restructuring and reshuffling of the Council of Ministers. While the Speaker was reading the letter, Shram Sanskriti MPs chanted slogans.
