Kathmandu — Nepali Congress General Secretary Bishwa Prakash Sharma has warned that the alliance will be riven if the CPN-UML does not withdraw the amendment on the ‘cooling off period’ tabled in the National Assembly.

Addressing a program organized on the 43rd BP Memorial Day on Tuesday, General Secretary Sharma gave the warning. He reminded that a unanimous inquiry committee was formed by the National Assembly to correct the mistake made by the House of Representatives regarding the cooling off period and to take action against the guilty.

General Secretary Sharma said, ‘In the context of the issue of the cooling off period passed by the State Affairs Committee, an inquiry committee has been formed through the honorable Speaker. Those who are at fault should be taken action against them. At the same time, we have unanimously appealed and called on the State Affairs Committee to correct this through the National Assembly.’

He warned that the efforts being made by the UML to remove the cooling off period against the unanimous decision would lead to an accident.

Sharma also urged Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to respect the different views and opinions among the parties in the alliance. He also pointed out the need to find a common opinion from the different opinions of the coalition parties when there is no consensus within a single party.
