Congress MP Budhadwara Criticizes Government: Bills Submitted to President Must Be Withdrawn

Nepali Congress MP Khadak Bahadur Budha has demanded that the government withdraw two bills submitted to the President, which he says violate democratic processes. He expressed concern over the government’s risky move of issuing ordinances and urged the withdrawal of both bills.

The government has recommended issuing ordinances related to cooperatives and the Constitutional Council. On April 29, in Kathmandu, Budha, speaking to journalists after attending an opposition party meeting at the Congress parliamentary office, stated, “Just yesterday, the government forgot democratic procedures and sent two bills to the President. This is a step outside of democratic norms.”

During previous times as the opposition, other parties strongly opposed ordinances, but now Budha questioned the silence on the matter. He emphasized that opposition parties should protest only to build a common agenda.
