Labour Culture Party Protests Against Prime Minister Balen Shah in Parliament with Placards

May 18, Kathmandu – The Labour Culture Party staged a protest in the House of Representatives against Prime Minister Balen Shah, displaying placards. Parliamentary party leader Harka Sampang and other party lawmakers wore placards on their chests to voice their dissent. Their demands include that the Prime Minister must respond to questions and should not evade accountability.

Earlier, opposition parties had demanded that Prime Minister Balendra Shah answer questions related to the policy and program session, but he was absent. Finance Minister Swarnim Wagley responded on the Prime Minister’s behalf. Although a question-and-answer session with the Prime Minister is typically held every month in Parliament, the parliamentary calendar for May and June does not include this program. In this context, the Labour Culture Party demonstrated by displaying placards within Parliament. However, the Speaker instructed members not to engage in such acts.
