There has been a demand that the post of Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee should be given to the opposition party. In the meeting of the committee on Sunday, the Maoist reminded the parliamentary practice of the chairperson of the audit committee being from the opposition party. The UML has countered that, while the Congress has said that there should be a political consensus.

UML's Rishikesh Pokharel is currently the Chairman of the Audit Committee. UML was the main opposition party when the president was elected, and has been leading the government since the end of June. In Sunday's meeting, Maoist MP Lekhnath Dahal asked to give the chairmanship of the audit committee to the opposition party.

Then UML MP Yogesh Bhattarai commented that the opposition's demand for the chairmanship of the audit committee was "absurd". He said that Chairman Pokharel will resign if there is an agreement between the top leaders. It is known that the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee belongs to the opposition party. UML knows that too. We have broken some traditions and come in other ways. After the election of 2079, there was no election for the chairman of the committees, it was by consensus,' said Bhattarai, 'If there is another consensus among the leadership of the political parties, I do not think that the chairman should stay even for a minute.' He argued that it should be given to the opposition party. He said, 'Repeat some kind of mistake made by someone in the past?' He said, 'The Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee should be given to the opposition, but there is nothing in it.' argued. "Let's agree on what to change, and then we will talk," he said. Narayan Prasad Dahal, nominated by the President, is the Speaker of the National Assembly. He was the leader of the Maoist Center while Indira Rana, who belongs to the RSVP, is the Deputy Speaker.

Congress MP Arjunnar Singh KC said that the issue raised by the Maoist MPs is theoretically correct. Mentioning that in parliamentary practice, the chairman of the audit committee is from the opposition party, he reminded that the UML had boycotted the meeting of the committee when he was the chairman of the Congress in the previous parliament.

Pokharel had asked the Maoist and Congress MPs not to raise the issue of chairman change. If you need a chairman, make a speech in front of your presidents Prachanda and Deuba. "Speak for 1 hour in front of the party presidents, don't raise this issue again in the committee," he said.

Pokharel said that the Maoist MPs should talk to Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and the Congress MPs should talk to Chairman Sher Bahadur Deuba about their resignations. Stating that only UML has the right to recall since he did not apply to any party and asked for the chairmanship, he said that it is not ethical for Congress and Maoists to ask for resignation. Earlier, there was no dispute regarding the position of chairman in the meeting of the audit committee.
