KATHMANDU: Nepali Communist Party (NCP) lawmaker Yubaraj Dulal has demanded a ruling from the Speaker to ensure the prime minister’s participation in the question-answer session with lawmakers as required by parliamentary regulations.
Speaking during Friday’s meeting of the House of Representatives, Dulal urged Speaker Dol Prasad Aryal to issue a ruling to bring the prime minister to the parliamentary question-answer session in line with the House rules.
He also expressed dissatisfaction over Prime Minister Balendra Shah’s statement that Nepal had also encroached on several areas of India.
Dulal demanded that the statement be removed from parliamentary records, that the prime minister provide clarification, or that the Speaker issue an appropriate ruling on the matter.
He said the leader of the Rastriya Swatantra Party and the prime minister should set an example by respecting parliamentary rules and maintaining the dignity of the House.
