JANAKPURDHAM: The fifth session of Province-2 Assembly is taking place today almost after six months.
It is mandatory for the Province to ensure its regular session in six months. The fourth session of Province 2 was held on October 20 last year, according to PA Parliament Secretariat officiating secretary Ranjit Yadav.
Even though a business advisory committee meeting was called before the PA session, it was possible since the names of new faces on the committee are yet to be finalized, Yadav said.
It requires to reshuffle the committee in the aftermath of the split of Nepal Communist Party (NCP) and the unification of the Janata Samajbadi Party.
The meeting has been uncertain as the related parties are yet to recommend the names of people representing in the committee.
Bharat Shah has been elected to the post by the party meeting. Likewise, Jagat Yadav has been elected the deputy-leader while Dilip Shah named as the chief whip and Ruby Karna the whip.
Before the unification of the CPN-UML and the CPN (Maoist Center) to form the NCP, Ramchandra Mandal was elected as the parliamentary leader of CPN (Maoist-Center).
But he was stripped of the responsibilities as he stood with Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s faction following the December 20 decision to dissolve the House of Representatives.
Now Bharat Shah replaces Mandal, according to newly elected chief whip Shah. The Paris Danda meeting has already decided to seek clarifications from four lawmakers including Mandal who have sided with Oli.
Three others are Kundan Shah, Jwala Shah and Mohammad Samir Ansari. The party plans to relieve them as lawmakers as well. A total of 11 lawmakers represent the Maoist Center in Province 2.
