Kathmandu: The meeting of the House of Representatives has been postponed for tomorrow, as the opposition continued obstruction. The meeting that began after a delay of four hours on Thursday failed to enter business, prompting issuance of notice on postponement.
According to National News Agency Nepal, the opposition lawmakers left their seats and objected to the proceeding. Speaker Devraj Ghimire urged the lawmakers to follow the turn to put forth their views. The opposition party lawmakers have been insisting on the resignation of the Home Minister over the visit visa scam.
The Speaker repeatedly requested the lawmakers to take seats and help proceed with the business. He made them aware that the session of the parliament was in need of making necessary laws as well. He further urged the lawmakers that discussion on the budget was badly hampered due to obstruction, and even the Home Minister had sought time to give his views on the contemporary issues in the parliament.
Following the obstruction, Speaker Ghimire removed the activities from the regular schedule on Thursday. The House of Representatives will meet next at 1:00 pm Friday.
