UML’s preparations to prevent the first meeting from taking place, raising questions about 14 MPs
KATHMANDU: SEPT. 8 – The main opposition party CPN-UML is going to raise questions about the 14 lawmakers who have been ‘taken action’ at the beginning of today’s meeting.
At today’s meeting of the parliamentary parties, party chairperson and parliamentary party leader KP Sharma Oli informed that the party would raise the issue of 14 lawmakers in the parliament.
Oli said, “If the lawmakers have taken action to attend the meeting, how can the meeting be allowed to proceed?”
According to UML lawmakers, at the beginning of the meeting, Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota read out a letter from the President and was ready to seek the Speaker’s response on the issue.
The 14 lawmakers sent by the party to the speaker will be present in the parliament sitting as the lawmakers of the new party CPN-U.
UML has also been sharply criticizing Speaker Sapkota, accusing him of making it easier for the 14 lawmakers to open another party without taking a decision.
UML lawmakers have said that they are ready to hold today’s meeting by raising this issue.
