KATHMANDU: Unified Socialist senior leader Jhalanath Khanal has said that the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) needs revision before proceeding with parliamentary actions as the public were not informed while signing it.
“Consensus on some issues is followed by amendments and revisions. Hence, force is not applicable in such cases,” Khanal said.
In his response to a media query that it was possible to be part of the government and to get engaged in a street protest at the same time, the former Prime Minister argued, “Of course it is possible and you can see happening it at the moment.”
Likewise, Maoist Centre leader Onsari Gharti Magar termed the MCC proposal the issue of national concern and it was agreed to not float the document in Wednesday’s Parliament meeting with the realisation of the need of further discussions so as to establish a widespread agreement before advancing towards the House proceedings.
“We urged the same before the meeting,” she said adding that the main opposition still seems unconvinced to move the proposal towards parliamentary proceedings.
“Any political party in the ruling alliance can decide on the issue and other parties may not entertain the decision. The proposal was not tabled as the obstruction from the oppositions continues,” the former Speaker added.
