CPN-UML lawmakers have advised the government to refrain from acting out of retaliation and bias. UML MP Gurup Prasad Baral raised concerns over violations of the constitution and rule of law, urging directives to uphold citizens’ fundamental rights. In a House of Representatives meeting held on Tuesday, 24 Chaitra, at Singha Durbar, Kathmandu, MPs criticized the government for violating the constitution and rule of law from the initial stages, cautioning against working with retaliatory and biased attitudes.

During the session, MP Gurup Prasad Baral emphasized the ongoing breaches of Nepal’s constitution and rule of law, calling for firm instructions to enforce the fundamental rights guaranteed to citizens. He mentioned that the cases filed against former Prime Minister KP Oli and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, related to the events on Bhadra 23 and 24, are likely to be dismissed.

Additionally, UML MP Yashoda Kumari Baral requested the government to open files pertaining to all incidents from 2007 BS up to the Jana Andolan movement. She warned against political retaliation toward Oli and Lekhak and highlighted that violating the rule of law by the current government would result in severe consequences.
