Prime Minister to respond to policy and programme debate tomorrow, House meeting adjourned



KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Balendra Shah is scheduled to respond to discussions on the government’s policy and programme in the House of Representatives tomorrow.

The House meeting on Wednesday was adjourned after Speaker informed lawmakers that the Prime Minister would personally attend Thursday’s session and answer questions related to the policy and programme.

Although efforts were made to resume the meeting for a third time, proceedings could not move forward as opposition parties continued their obstruction immediately after the session began.

Following repeated disruptions, the Speaker adjourned the meeting.

The Speaker also informed the House that Prime Minister Shah himself would be present in the next meeting to respond to concerns raised during deliberations on the government’s policy and programme.
