UML protests in National Assembly again; Meeting adjourns till Monday

Kathmandu: CPN (UML)’s protest has resulted in the adjournment of the National Assembly (NA). UML started protesting just after the beginning of the assembly on Sunday.

Speaker Ganesh Prasad Timilsina gave time to NA member Bhagwati Neupane to speak. She said that Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ was clever in performing drama.

Neupane said, ‘PM Dahal spoke against the nationality, independence, and sovereignty of the nation. He returned from doing a consensus against the country in India. In response to the question regarding the Eminent Persons Group (EPG) in Nepal-India Relations discussion in this assembly, he said ‘The environment would have been ruined if I have raised the issue regarding EPG.’

The assembly has been postponed till 11:00 am on Monday. UML has been protesting in the National Assembly repeatedly. UML has been taking the stand of protesting in the Assembly until the submission of the resignation by PM Dahal.

On July 3 (Asar 18), PM Dahal stated that Sardar Pritam Singh had repeatedly visited Delhi for making him the Prime Minister. UML has been coining the statement against the sovereignty of the nation.
