  • The deputy speaker himself should clarify the questions raised, if it is true then it is clear that he is not suitable for that post: Shankar Pokharel, UML General Secretary

Deputy Speaker Indira Rana Magar is interested with Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli about the discussion of her removal. She asked Prime Minister Oli about it during the meeting of the Constitutional Council in Baluwatar on Friday.

"The Deputy Speaker was interested with the Prime Minister about the discussion of his removal," the source said, "The Prime Minister said it was a meeting of the Constitutional Council." Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba, leader of the main opposition party Pushpa Kamal Dahal were present when Rana Magar informally inquired. After the Constitutional Council meeting, Rana Magar informed that she had inquired with Prime Minister Oli about the discussion of her removal. Maoist Chairman Dahal also asked for answers from Oli and Deuba on Thursday saying that this discussion is widespread.

Some time after the meeting of the UML secretariat gave the task to the parliamentary party to decide on the removal of Rana Magar from the post, she inquired with Oli. On the other hand, the meeting of the Maoist parliamentary party has decided to protest in the parliament if they want to remove Rana Magar. The UML secretariat meeting on Friday said that the parliamentary party has the right to decide on Rana Magar. In the Secretariat meeting held at the Party Central Office, Lalitpur Chaisal, the question raised about the Deputy Speaker was discussed but no conclusion was reached. General Secretary Shankar Pokharel said that since it is a matter of Parliament, the decision taken by the party will be supported.

'The deputy speaker should clarify himself, if it is true, then he is clearly not suitable for that position,' he told the media after the meeting, 'it is a matter of the parliament, the work done by the parliamentary party in the parliament has the full support of the party.' As the votes are not guaranteed, the UML has transferred the decision on this matter to the parliamentary party.

Congress-UML is ready to proceed with the process of removing Deputy Speaker Rana Magar only by securing the votes of two-thirds of the MPs. Although Prime Minister Oli and Congress President Deuba prepared to file a resolution against the Deputy Speaker on Wednesday, the process was halted because public opinion and JSP Nepal did not give a clear decision. Since two-thirds are undecided and some MPs from Shekhar Koirala's party in the Congress have not signed, the two parties have not started the process immediately.

Meanwhile, the meeting of the Maoist Parliamentary Party has concluded that it is wrong to try to remove Deputy Speaker Rana Magar from the position on the basis of arguing that writing a letter to the American Embassy for a visa was a minor weakness. The Maoists have also decided to counter if the Congress-UML tries to remove them by reaching two-thirds of the votes.

Maoist Chairman Dahal while speaking at the party meeting mentioned that the issue of Deputy Speaker Rana Magar was 19 months ago and said that Congress-UML intends to 'capture' the constitutional body. It seems that Congress-UML wants to do whatever they do with the strength of Parliament's arithmetic. We, the opposition parties, have to counter such actions' Dahal's instruction was, 'Now we should present ourselves in the role of a strong opposition in the Parliament.' The

meeting asked the Congress-UML to stop the process of removing the Deputy Speaker and asked them not to increase the conflict between the parties. "There is a technical deficiency on the part of the Deputy Speaker. It is normal to write a letter for a visa," said Hitraj Pandey, the chief whip of the Maoists Pandey argues that the intention is to achieve majority. "The intention of Congress-UML to remove the Deputy Speaker is to single out the Constitutional Council," he said. "We oppose the intention of banning the opposition parties." He said that keeping in mind the democratic culture, the Congress-UML should stop preparing to remove Rana. 'The Deputy Speaker will not resign,' he said, 'we will appeal to the public from the House.' - UML's trick is to appoint workers in constitutional bodies based on the majority.'

The standing committee meeting of S has decided that there was wrong intention in trying to remove Rana Magar from the post of deputy chairman. The meeting stated that the Deputy Speaker is trying to be removed with the intention of gaining majority in the Constitutional Council. Senior leader Beduram Bhusal said, "Congress-UML's intentions are not good in this. It seems that they are trying to arbitrarily and dominate the constitutional body." S opposes the attempt to remove the deputy speaker.'
