From the action against the Minister to the resignation of the Speaker

At a three-party meeting held at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar, the main opposition party UML has put forward its conditions for the smooth functioning of the parliament.

Chairman of the main opposition party UML Oli has demanded the resignation of Speaker Agni Sapkota for the smooth functioning of the parliament. Accusing him of aiding and abetting the party split, Oli reiterated that he would not open the parliament unless the speaker admits his mistake and resigns. Similarly, Oli has said that action should be taken against the 14 non-parliamentarians who have been taken action by the UML. Otherwise, the party will not allow the parliament to function until 14 non-parliamentarians, including Nepal, are present in the parliament. However, the UML has been saying that it will help in approving the MCC if it breaks the alliance and takes action against the speaker.

Similarly, the UML has demanded that in the next cabinet meeting, the date for the election must be announced and the election needs to be held within May 19. Stating that there is a dispute within the alliance, Oli said that the ruling party should first clarify its opinion on the US project MCC and then only the CPN-UML will put forward its decision.

UML has also demanded action against Minister Renu Yadav for her provocative speech at gaur and Health Minister Birodh Khatiwada, who was accused for the irregularities of 2.4 million corona vaccine.

 Stating that the financial crisis has started in the country as the government has not been able to spend even 15 percent of the development budget in six months of the current fiscal year, Chairman Oli said that the government should take serious steps regarding the issue on country’s financial matter.
