RSP and RPP continue boycott of HoR meeting again

Kathmandu, Aug 6: Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) parliamentarian Manish Jha raised concern about alleged negligence in constitutional appointment involving Krishna Prasad Neupane in the Language Commission.

In the Emergency Hour of the House of Representatives (HoR) meeting today, lawmaker Jha argued that this was a clear reflection of mismanagement within the country’s administration. “The fact that another person named Krishna Prasad Neupane has been working in the Language Commission for three years clearly shows how the country is being run,” asserted Jha.

Citing the mention of word ‘Human Trafficking’ in the page no 46 of the report regarding the visit VISA scam, he demanded that those involved in the human trafficking should be brought to book.
Furthermore, he demanded resignation of the President of the State Affairs and Good Governance Committee, raising ethical concerns over the ‘cooling-off period’ issue.

Likewise, Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) parliamentarian Roshan Karki said that the fourth (RSP) and fifth largest parties (RPP) in the parliament have long opposed the misuse of visit visa.
She viewed that the parliament ought to address the concern raised by even a single parliamentarian. She expressed displeasure that despite two parties protesting for a long time, the parliament failed to address.

Furthermore, she blamed that the inaction on the part of the parliament showed that the parliament seems to be accountable only to the government.

MP Karki also accused that Nepalis were trafficked in foreign lands in the guise of visit visa and thus called on the government for immediate action to curb such activities.

The RSP and RPP parliamentarians have continued their boycott of the Houe today again.
As soon as the HoR Speaker Devraj Ghimire commenced the meeting, the lawmakers from RSP and RPP stood up from their respective seats in protest.

Speaker Ghimire then allocated time for Jha and Karki to speak during the Emergency Hour. After Jha and Karki delivered their statements, parliamentarians from the protesting parties walked out of the meeting hall.
