KATHMANDU: The scheduled presentation of the Economic Survey for the fiscal year 2024/25 by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Paudel has become uncertain due to ongoing obstructions in the House of Representatives.
Opposition parties disrupted today’s parliamentary session demanding the resignation of Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak over the controversial “visit visa” scandal, halting all scheduled proceedings in the lower house.
Today’s agenda included ministerial question-and-answer sessions related to tourism, energy, and forests, as well as the tabling of the Agriculture Committee’s report. However, the protest by opposition lawmakers rendered the entire schedule ineffective.
According to Finance Minister Paudel’s secretariat, there has been no alternative plan or discussion so far on how to proceed with the presentation of the Economic Survey if the parliament remains obstructed.
