Kathmandu – The winter session of Parliament has been scheduled for 1 pm today. While opposition parties are saying that they will protest in Parliament today regarding the bill and ordinance to be presented by the government in Parliament, MPs from the ruling party Nepali Congress are seen opposing the ordinance.

A meeting of the Nepali Congress parliamentary party is currently being held after their own MPs were seen opposing it. Congress leaders have said that the meeting may have been called to discuss the winter session starting today and to urge the MPs not to speak against the ordinance and to move forward with unity in Parliament. It is understood that apart three of the Congress MPs all are against the ordinance brought by the government.

In fact, Nepali Congress General Secretaries Gagan Thapa and Bishwaprakash Sharma have openly opposed the social media bill introduced by the government in the media and said that it should be corrected, while other lawmakers have also criticized the government’s move, saying that the government introduced the bill in a way that was favorable to them without discussing it in a parliamentary committee and that running the government through ordinances is a wrong practice in democracy.
