Kathmandu, June 20: The lawmakers of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) have said that they had to boycott the meeting of the House of Representatives because their party’s issues could not be put across to the Prime Minister.
RSP acting spokesperson Manish Jha said they had to boycott the meeting as they were not allowed to express their views and could not inform the Prime Minister about their demand in the House meeting today.
RSP has been protesting in Parliament over the ‘visit visa’ scam, calling for the formation of a parliamentary probe commission to investigate into the scandal and for the resignation of the Home Minister, alleging of his involvement.
“We wanted to tell the Prime Minister our concerns, but he left the meeting without listening to us. After that, we also left,” the RSP acting spokesperson said.
In today’s meeting of the House of Representatives, all MPs of the RSP attended wearing black clothes and blue ribbons in protest. The blue ribbon is recognized globally as a symbol of opposition to human trafficking.
