MP Harinadevi Kami Demands Withdrawal of Ultimatum to Squatters

Kathmandu. Main opposition party Nepali Congress MP Harinadevi Kami has demanded that the government immediately withdraw the inhuman ultimatum to remove squatters taking shelter at the holding center within 5 days. She made the demand while speaking at the beginning of the House of Representatives meeting on Thursday.

MP Kami emphasized that the government should immediately make public an action plan to solve the problems of the squatters. She said that the government should not try to solve the problems of the squatters temporarily by distributing cash, and they should be provided with safe housing and arrangements.

Speaking in the parliament, MP Kami said, 'The ultimatum given to vacate the shelter within 5 days should be withdrawn. It is not about shirking responsibility by distributing cash temporarily, an action plan for safe housing and long-term solution should be immediately made public.' She demanded that the genuine squatters left out of the survey should be impartially identified and relief should be provided to them with dignity.

While speaking in the meeting, MP Kami also expressed anger, saying that Prime Minister Balendra Shah is not accountable to the parliament. She said that the government should be serious about the long-term management of the squatters.
