KATHMANDU: A meeting of the House of Representatives (HoR) is taking place.
The meeting on Sunday was postponed for today due to the obstruction by opposition parties – the CPN-UML, Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) and the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) expressing their concerns over the certification of the Citizenship Bill.
The three opposition parties obstructed Sunday’s meeting as soon as the session commenced.
Though the second session was called for Sunday itself, it could not convene due to the protest.
Following the protest from the opposition parties, Speaker Devraj Ghimire announced the adjournment of the session by an hour and later it was extended till Monday by issuing a notice by the Federal Parliament Secretariat.
On Sunday, Finance Minister Dr Prakash Sharan Mahat was scheduled to propose the HoR today to begin general discussions on the budget for the upcoming fiscal year 2023-24.
The parties have been demanding the Bill should again go through the parliamentary procedure for assent.
