Kathmandu–Today's meeting of the House of Representatives, the lower house of Federal Parliament, has been put off until coming Sunday following a protest by the main opposition Nepali Congress.
Speaker Krishna Bahadur Mahara granted NC lawmaker Dr Minendra Rijal time to express his view after NC lawmakers stood up in protest.
In the meeting, he asked why the contribution of late NC leaders Girija Prasad Koirala and Sushil Koirala has been forgotten by the government not keeping the hospitals named after the two leaders under the federal government.
He referred to lack of policy to operate two hospitals named after two late NC leaders Girija Prasad and Sushil--GP Koirala National Centre for Respiratory Diseases in Tanahun and Sushil Koirala Prakhar Cancer Hospital in Banke.
"The Medical Education Bill has been passed amid Dr Govinda KC who is on a strike. A bad trend has set in. Parliamentary mistakes should be corrected."
Following Dr Rijal's statement, the lawmakers continued to protest. So Speaker Mahara announced the meeting postponement.
