June 7, Kathmandu – Due to continuous disruptions in parliamentary sessions by opposition parties questioning the roles of the Prime Minister and the Speaker, Rastriya Swatantra Party Chair Ravi Lamichhane has called for an all-party meeting on Monday morning.
The meeting has been convened to discuss current political issues. According to a notice issued by RSP General Secretary Kavindra Burlakoti, the meeting will take place at the Public Accounts Committee Hall located inside the Parliament Secretariat at Singha Durbar, Kathmandu.
All political parties represented in the House of Representatives and the National Assembly have been invited to send their party chairperson or leader along with one additional representative to participate.
RSP has already sent official invitations and notices to all parliamentary parties represented in both houses for this all-party meeting.
The opposition parties have been raising continuous questions in parliament following Prime Minister Balendra Shah’s remarks that “Nepal has also encroached on India’s land.”
Similarly, the opposition has questioned the Speaker’s role regarding issues such as the passage of the House of Representatives’ rules of procedure. These disputes have hindered the smooth conduct of parliamentary sessions.
After a gap of five days, the House of Representatives is scheduled to meet on Monday. Chairperson Lamichhane has called this meeting ahead of that session to seek consensus as a major party leader in the parliament.
