Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, Rishikesh Pokharel, has objected to the questioning of his position. The MP of the main opposition party Maoist Center demanded that the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee should belong to the opposition party, while the Congress MP reminded that the leadership of the Accounts Committee should be given to the opposition in parliamentary practice.

Pokharel said that he should resign from the chairmanship of the Public Accounts Committee under the House of Representatives on Sunday. Chairman Pokharel said not to raise such a topic again. Please don't bring up the subject of the chairman again. If you need a chairman, make a speech in front of your presidents Prachanda and Deuba. I request you to make a speech in front of your party presidents for 1 hour and not to raise this issue again in the committee,' he said.

Pokharel also said that he did not apply to any party and asked for the position of Chairman of the Audit Committee. He maintained that he would accept whatever decision and consensus is reached in the political party, but he would not resign on the basis of what was raised in the committee. Pokharel also said that he is aware that the shadow of power should not fall on the chairman. "I am aware that there should not be any shadow of power in making decisions from the chairman's chair." I am confident that it has not been allowed until today,' he said . In the

committee, the MPs of the Maoist Center, Amanlal Modi and Lekhnath Dahal, raised the issue of giving the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee to Vishak. UML MPs Gokul Baskota and Yogesh Bhattarai, however, maintained that the opposition cannot be given the chairmanship of the committee. Baskota said that if the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee is to be asked, the Deputy Speaker and Speaker of the National Assembly should also be changed, while Bhattarai said that asking for the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee is 'absurd'.

Congress MP Arjunnar Singh KC said that the matter raised by the Maoist MPs was correct as it was a parliamentary practice to give the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee to the opposition. KC reminded that UML had boycotted the parliamentary committee meeting in the previous House of Representatives.
