Due to the confrontation between the ruling party and the main opposition, the parliament meeting has appeared to be confrontational. The Congress, which has been blocking the House by demanding the formation of a parliamentary committee to investigate the involvement of Home Minister Ravi Lamichhane in misappropriation of cooperative savings, has also taken to the street front to put pressure on the government since Wednesday.

Fraternal organizations led by Tarun Dal, Navy Sangh and Mahila Sangh on Wednesday protested in different places of the capital demanding action against the misappropriation of co-operatives.
While Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal is holding discussions to get rid of the Parliament by addressing the demands of the Congress, the President of the UML, the main component of power, KP Sharma Oli has rejected it and instructed his MPs to engage in ideological resistance against the Congress. Oli, who appeared aggressively at the parliamentary party meeting on Wednesday, directed the MPs to raise the issue of the Congress's 'bullies'.
'We pick things up. Do we have to keep listening, keep shouting Congress? What is Parliament? We will continue to listen, Congress will continue to cry? It won't work," Oli said. "Now we are not ready to listen to the nonsense of the Congress. You have done what you need. In one case, it happened. Talked about that. Here is a bite, there is a bite, here is barking, there is barking. How is this? The world knows.'
Oli has clearly stated that there is no prosecution against Lamichhane and that a committee cannot be formed against him. "The precious time of the Parliament should not be wasted on the frustration of the Congress. Parliament should be resumed. We are in favor of resumption. If there is a prosecution somewhere, go from the place where the prosecution will be conducted," he said, "Will the Congress conduct the prosecution? The decision will be made by the Congress?'
The Parliament meeting, which was adjourned after the presentation of the policy and program on Tuesday, is sitting on Thursday. Before the meeting, Prime Minister Dahal held discussions with the ruling party and the main opposition to resolve the impasse, but no solution was found. According to Prime Minister's Press Adviser Govind Acharya, after meeting with UML President Oli and RSVP Chairman and Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Lamichhane on Wednesday, Dahal held discussions with Congress General Minister Gagan Thapa and leader Krishna Prasad Sitaula in the evening.
'Government policies and programs should be discussed. The main thing is that the work of thanking the President has also been stopped. There are other important proposals. In such a situation, Congress should be serious and responsible. The Prime Minister has asked the Congress leaders to let Raviji speak first and discuss other issues,' Acharya said, 'There is no solution yet, the Prime Minister will try before the meeting.'
Congress General Minister Thapa said that if the ruling party is not ready to form the minimum parliamentary inquiry committee that they have raised, they will maintain their previous position. He says that there is no sign of a solution from the discussions so far. "Cooperative's crores of savers' funds have been embezzled, savers are in trouble. have come to the street. They should get their savings back immediately. For that, whether the present law works or other measures should be taken, it will be investigated by the parliamentary committee.
On the other hand, the cooperative's savings have been embezzled by private companies including Gorkha Media Network. Evidence shows that the Home Minister is also one of the embezzlers," he said. If the government prepares for the meeting before it starts, the exit will be on the way out.
After the discussion between the three leaders of the ruling party on Wednesday, Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Lamichhane has put forward a 'condition' that he should be able to answer the questions raised on him. After the discussion, Lamichhane said he should be able to speak at Thursday's meeting. "First of all, I should be able to speak, then if the answer is not satisfactory, we will respect the right of the main opposition," he said.
Congress youth leader and Member of Parliament Pradeep Paudel said that Oli's directive expression seems like the ruling party wants to lead the parliament to a confrontation. Will you go to answer the question or start a confrontation by threatening? If the ruling party should be presented in a responsible manner, on the contrary, by presenting it in an extremely irresponsible manner, it will show the power to be lenient, trying to oppress the power? How can the tendency to not face legitimate questions be considered natural in a democracy?,' said Paudel, 'Is it the government's responsibility to answer the questions we ask or is it just self-interest to maintain power through threats?' told.
UML has linked the demand for an investigation on Lamichhane, who is involved in the misappropriation of cooperative savings, with the strategy of breaking the ruling coalition. Law Minister Padam Giri said that the parliamentary inquiry committee was rejected because the purpose of the Congress was to destroy the power rather than solving the problems of cooperatives.
Even though it is cooperative outside, Congress is talking about a parliamentary inquiry to topple the government. His aim is to form a parliamentary investigation committee targeting individuals and such and such organizations, demand his resignation tomorrow, and topple the government," Giri said. "Theoretically, MPs should not be taken to the role of undermining the effectiveness of the parliament by making them investigate cooperatives. The process of investigation and action should be taken forward by the state agency.'
Chief Whip of RSVP Santosh Pariyar said that the main opposition should present itself with responsibility so as not to lead the Parliament to a confrontation. He said that the Congress had made a mistake by prohibiting the Deputy Prime Minister and the Home Minister from responding to the allegations leveled months ago. "The Home Minister has been continuously questioned for so long. It should be explained. How is it possible to go by prohibiting him without even allowing him to do that?," Pariyar said, "Our party's position is that we should first answer the allegations against him. After answering, we can enter into how to unlock the deadlock caused by the issue of whether to form a parliamentary committee.'
According to MP Paudel, the Congress agreed to let the Home Minister speak on the first day of the session. Accordingly, in the working order committee, the Congress proposed that MP Ramhari Khatiwada should speak on behalf of the first party, then the Home Minister should be allowed to speak, and after the Home Minister has spoken, Maha Minister Thapa should be allowed to speak. After the Home Minister gave his answer, the program was interrupted after the chief whips of the ruling party protested that there could not be a question-and-answer session.
Since the previous winter session, the Congress has been obstructing the Parliament saying that there should be a parliamentary inquiry into Lamichhane in the co-operative embezzlement. Although Congress did not obstruct the ceremony of presentation of the government's policy and program by President Ramchandra Poudel in the second meeting of the first annual session on May 28, it obstructed the progress of the rest of the Parliament's agenda, including thanking the President.
