Speaker Ghimire directs government to answer questions raised in Parliament meeting

Speaker Devraj Ghimire directed the government to answer the questions raised by lawmakers in the meeting of the House of Representatives.

Speaker Ghimire issued the ruling after the lawmakers of opposition parties including the CPN-UML created an obstruction in the Parliament meeting today saying that the government was not serious on the issues raised by them.

“The government has been directed to answer the questions raised by the lawmakers in the previous meetings,” the Speaker said, adding, “I direct the Nepal government to answer the questions raised by the lawmakers by attending the meeting on March 4.”

The UML lawmakers have been demanding resignation of Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport Prakash Jwala saying that he is responsible for the Balkumari incident.

They have been accusing Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal of not taking the issue seriously.
