  • Preparing to file a motion to remove Deputy Speaker Rana for not behaving in a proper manner, Congress called a functionary meeting on Wednesday.

Deputy Speaker Indira Rana Magar concluded that it was a serious abuse of office to write to the embassy to take five unrelated and not even common acquaintances to America, and the ruling party has reached the decision to remove her.

In the meeting of the ruling party held on Monday, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli proposed to remove Deputy Speaker Rana Magar saying that he did not have the dignity of office, and then it was decided to ask him to pave the way and if he refuses to do so, it was decided to file a motion of no confidence against him.

Congress and UML parliamentarians have already signed the proposal for registration on Tuesday. Congress has called a meeting of office bearers on Wednesday morning to formulate more strategies, while UML has instructed the parliamentarians who are outside to return to the capital immediately and not to leave the capital until October 3.

In the meeting of the ruling party held on Monday, Prime Minister Oli put forward the subject of the Deputy Speaker as a proposal. According to Abdul Khan, the leader of the Janmaat Party, who participated in the meeting, Prime Minister Oli asked that "the dignity of the post of the Deputy Speaker does not seem to be ethical in any way, what is the opinion of all parties on this?" "After the discussion, it was concluded that the first priority is to ask Deputy Speaker Rana for guidance and if he refuses, a resolution will be filed against him," said Khan.

2079 The Deputy Speaker, who was going to participate in the 67th session of the United Nations mechanism 'Commission on the Status of Women' held in New York from February 22 to March 3, started the process of bringing 4 men and one woman with her. She even recommended the US Embassy on the letterpad of the Deputy Speaker to take 5 people unrelated to the campaign for women's rights. While,

The visa process for parliament officials, MPs and employees is done by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the International Liaison and Coordination Division of the Parliament Secretariat. However, the Deputy Speaker herself wrote the letter as the visa process of the unauthorized person was initiated. The letter and details have been made public in the first week of July.

After the ruling parties got ready to remove Deputy Speaker Rana, there was a fight between the ruling party and the opposition even in the Parliament on Tuesday. The MPs of the ruling party asked the Deputy Speaker Rana to pave the way after the serious question of abuse of office was raised in the Parliament. The RSVP and the main opposition Maoists, who are in the background of Deputy Speaker Rana, have said that they will face all the steps taken by the ruling party.

'After the Parliament meeting, the Prime Minister has asked the Deputy Speaker to pave the way through Raswa Party Chairman Ravi Lamichhane,' a leader of the ruling party said, 'Prime Minister Oli called Lamichhane in Baluwatar and asked him to pave the way for the Deputy Speaker. However, after Lamichhane said that he will not resign, Prime Minister Oli and Congress President Deuba have joined forces to reduce the number of two-thirds. Probably, a resolution against the Deputy Speaker will be registered in Parliament on Wednesday.'

Before the meeting of the ruling party on Monday, the issue was also discussed with the Congress leaders. There is a constitutional provision that one-fourth of the members can register a proposal in the Parliament if the Deputy Speaker does not behave in a manner appropriate to the position. According to sub-section (6) of Article 91 of the Constitution, there are three situations in which Speaker and Deputy Speaker are relieved from office. In which, it is mentioned that if the resolution is passed by a two-thirds majority of the entire number of members of the House of Representatives, if he is not a member of the House of Representatives, if he resigns in writing and if he does not behave in a manner befitting his position.

Only Congress and UML have 167 MPs in Parliament. However, since UML Speaker Devraj Ghimire and MP Top Bahadur Rayamazhi are under suspension, the number of two parties that can participate in the voting is only 165. The government includes JSP with 7 seats, LOSPA with 4 seats and Civil Liberties Party with 4 seats. The number of parties participating in the government reaches 180. 183 votes are needed to reach two-thirds.

Three votes required for two-thirds must be obtained from other parties. Janmaat Party with 6 seats and Upendra Yadav-led Jaspa with 5 seats have also supported the government. If only one of these two parties supports it, two-thirds will be in favor of the proposal to be registered against the Deputy Speaker. Although not participating in the federal government, with the support of the Congress and the UML, the public opinion in the Madhesh government got the leadership of the government. However, public opinion has been complaining that Congress and UML have neglected the federal government and Lumbini province where they have MPs.

Khan, the chief whip of public opinion, said that since the prime minister is positive in addressing their concerns, his party's preference is in favor of the ruling coalition. Independent MPs Amaresh Kumar Singh and Yogendra Mandal have also been supporting the government. With the support of the Janamat Party, the ruling party will easily get two-thirds of the votes. The proposal is registered on Wednesday itself. After the proposal is registered, the discussion goes on for one/two days. In the meantime, we will make a formal decision, said Khan.

The House of Representatives Rules, 2079 stipulates that the speaker should set a day and time for discussion within one week after the motion for non-compliant behavior is registered with the signatures of one-fourth of the members of the parliament. Khan said that the leaders of the ruling party have made preparations to finalize this issue by June 31st.

Prime Minister Oli is leaving for New York on October 5th to participate in the United Nations General Assembly. The government is preparing to end the annual session of the House of Representatives before the Prime Minister leaves. Before that, it is also aimed to submit a report by the Parliamentary Inquiry Special Committee regarding the misappropriation of cooperative society savings funds in the current session. Before understanding the report of the committee, the leaders of the ruling party are ready to conclude the resolution to be registered against Deputy Speaker Rana.

The five people that Deputy Speaker Rana wants to take with him are transport workers, land traders, ex-teachers and ex-soldiers. Upendra Gautam Jhapa is a resident of Arjundhara-6 among those who were asked to go to the program of the UN agency by writing a letter on the letterpad of the Deputy Speaker. Ex-serviceman Gautam is a well-wisher of RSVP. Sushma Lama of Sunsari Dharan is a "radiologist" while Rajesh Lama, who is planning to go to America with her, is a real estate dealer in Kathmandu. Similarly, Dhanprasad Gurung from Myagdi now works at the bus and micro bus ticket counter in Kushma in Parbat. Sujan Gharti Magar, a resident of Kalimati-2 in Salyan used to teach in a local school till a few years ago, he has come to Tulsipur in Dang for one and a half years to go abroad.

MP Ramhari Khatiwada, who is also the Chairman of the State Arrangements Committee, said that after it became clear that the Deputy Speaker's letterpad had been misused to gather people from different backgrounds and bargain with intermediaries to take them to the United Nations program, it was sought to register a resolution that did not use office-friendly conduct. Khatiwada said that a complaint was filed in the State Order and Good Governance Committee on July 11 demanding action against the Deputy Speaker. He said that he raised the issue in Parliament only after the

complaint was received. He informed that it is not only a matter of recommending visas to unrelated persons, but there have also been complaints of misuse of diplomatic passports when going through Tibet to Mansarovar. Diplomatic passports cannot be used arbitrarily. It has some limitations. Khatiwada said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should be informed, "but the biggest accusation against the Deputy Speaker is the recommendation to the American Embassy to arrange a visa for an unrelated person outside the Parliament."

UML Chief Whip Mahesh Bertaula said that by misusing the institutional letterhead of the Parliament, Deputy Speaker Rana has abused the position and disrespected the dignity of the Parliament, so it is time to take an appropriate decision against Rana. Until yesterday, this situation was not present. However, today in the parliament, the leaders of the ruling party and the RSVP have provoked the ruling party and brought it to the decision-making point," said Bertaula. "The RSVP is trying to silence the questions raised in the parliament by covering the work against the deputy speaker's behavior with women and tribes, trying to threaten the Prime Minister by throwing a pillow, street protests. Incited by threatening. This has also brought the ruling party to the decision making place. We will take a decision at an appropriate time.

RSVP's chief whip Santosh Pariyar said that even if the ruling party demanded his resignation, the Deputy Speaker would not give it. "The Deputy Speaker will not resign, we will face it. No one expected such an attack on democracy. Congress and UML are doing it today. It is fine if we make unproven allegations that the number is enough," said Pariyar, "We may have fallen today, but tomorrow they will also fall into the hole they dug themselves."
