Congress MP Chandra Mohan Yadav Criticizes PM's Statement and Speaker's Role in Parliament

Kathmandu. Nepali Congress MP Chandra Mohan Yadav has strongly objected to the Prime Minister's recent statement and the Speaker's role in the House of Representatives. Speaking in a special time during Wednesday's House of Representatives meeting, MP Yadav raised serious questions about the dignity of the parliament and issues of nationality.

Questioning the Speaker's impartiality, he accused the Speaker of not being able to sever ties with his former party. He argued that the Speaker's role, which should be a common guardian of the house, treating all parties and MPs equally, appeared very narrow.

Expressing anger over the Speaker's working style and the Prime Minister's irresponsible behavior, he asked, 'Mr. Speaker, as the guardian of the house, you should enhance its dignity. Have you still not been able to cut the umbilical cord with your former party? The statement made by the Prime Minister regarding the border has created many questions not only within the country but also outside. It has negatively impacted the years-long cordial relations with neighboring countries and has provided a space for a crude joke on our nationality.'

Sharply targeting the Prime Minister's recent statement regarding the Nepal-India border, Yadav said that such a casual remark has severely damaged the country's image internationally. He expressed surprise and deep regret that the ruling party's MPs applauded and blindly supported the Prime Minister's controversial statement on extremely sensitive issues like nationality and sovereignty, even in parliament.

MP Yadav reminded that the parliament is a common symbol of the hopes, trust, and hard-fought struggles of 30 million Nepali people. Emphasizing that no one should weaken such a dignified institution, he accused the government and its leadership of continuously ignoring the legitimate voices raised by the opposition in the house.

He also commented that due to the failure to listen to the constructive criticism of the opposition parties, the current parliamentary practice is becoming increasingly ridiculous and irresponsible day by day.
