President Bhandari prorogues parliament session



KATHMANDU: President Bidya Devi Bhandari has prorogued the current session of the federal parliament on the recommendation of the government as per Article 93 of the Constitution.

A cabinet meeting held on Tuesday had recommended President Bhandari to end the parliament session from Tuesday midnight.

There is a provision by which the President prorogues and starts parliamentary sessions on the recommendation of the government.

The major achievement of the current session of the parliament is that the House of Representatives (HoR) ratified the United States grant Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), which had been stuck in the House for quite a long time.

Likewise, the HoR also registered an impeachment motion against Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana in the current session.

However, the government has recommended ending the parliament session without holding discussions on the impeachment motion in the running session.

Earlier, the next sitting of HoR was slated for tomorrow, Wednesday.
