KATHMANDU: The Nepali Congress has accused the government of introducing an ordinance to control constitutional bodies by appointing loyalists.
Speaking after a meeting of the party’s Parliamentary Coordination Board in Sanepa, parliamentary party leader Bishmaraj Angdembe said the ordinance related to the Constitutional Council was an attempt to influence state institutions.
He argued that calling a parliamentary session only after issuing the ordinance reflects the government’s intent. The party plans to raise the issue strongly in Parliament, in coordination with other opposition groups.
Angdembe also criticized the government’s broader actions, saying they do not reflect a clear direction for the country. He added that the party opposes the demolition of squatter settlements without proper management, calling the approach heavy-handed.
The meeting, formed under the party’s parliamentary statute, also discussed earlier decisions and future strategies.
