KATHMANDU: Rastriya Janata Party (RJP)-Nepal lawmakers obstructed Sunday’s parliamentary proceedings demanding the government to release the report prepared by Girish Chandra Lal commission.
The probe commission was formed to investigate into the alleged cases of human rights violations during the Madhes agitations.
No sooner had the session commenced, the RJP-Nepal lawmakers stood from their respective seats as a gesture of protest. The lawmakers said they would not allow the parliamentary session to run until the report was made public.
Party lawmaker Laxman Lal Karna demanded that the report be unveiled immediately.
The commission was formed by the erstwhile Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur-led government on September 18, 2016 to probe into the Tharuhat and Madhes agitation. According to RJP-N lawmakers, the commission has already submitted the report to the government on February 12, 2018.
