The MPs of the UML leading the government have threatened the opposition and the ruling Congress MPs who are demanding the resignation of the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee of the House of Representatives, Rishikesh Pokharel, saying that it will not be good if they raise the issue from now on.
In Tuesday's meeting of the Public Accounts Committee, opposition parties Maoist and RSVP and MPs of the ruling Congress asked Chairman Pokharel to resign from the post. The parliamentarians suggested to Pokharel that he should resign from his position as he is a ruling party MP, his wife is accused of co-operative fraud and his personal secretary is also involved in fraud and is in police custody.
Congress MP Arjun Narasimha KC, Devprakash Timilsina suggested the Chairman to resign. Similarly, opposition party Maoist Center MPs Janardhan Sharma, Amanlal Modi and Lekhnath Dahal, RSVP MP Hari Dhakal demanded that the chairman should resign as he is involved in various cases and is an MP of the ruling party.
In the Tuesday meeting held after exactly one month, the ruling parliamentarians along with the opposition demanded the resignation of Speaker Pokharel, while the UML parliamentarians used threatening language . UML Member of Parliament Tara Lama Tamang threatened that if the issue of the Chairman's resignation is raised in the future, it will not be good. There was also a proposal that the media should not be allowed in the meeting because he wrote down what the MPs said about the chairman's resignation, which was not on the agenda of the meeting.
'always said the same thing, the same thing from the beginning . Isn't it about the chairman? All the chairpersons of the committee were brought by voting and ? When making a chairman, three or four leaders sit and do this and that,' Tamang said to the parliamentarians who asked the chairman to resign. If you think so, it happened when talking in informal meetings apart from the meeting! Empty it is said. Go to Prachanda, Prime Minister, Deuba, Lamichhane, Nepal to run the committee chairman. Empty it is said in that . And after speaking like this, he walked away . If this is done from now on, it will not be so good.'
After saying this, MP Tamang made a proposal not to allow journalists to sit in the parliamentary committee. Whenever there is a meeting, we are journalists rather than related to the subject, cameras are placed all around. It's our habit to know exactly what goes viral and watch it online or whatever. There is also ice cream here that some friends have mentioned. When I spoke outside, I said this. It has no rhyme or reason,' he said, 'I also want to make a special proposal, journalists should be kept only to announce the decision . Whatever is said, to make it viral . This is increasing our dignity ?'
Maoist MP Lekhnath Dahal objected to Tamang's statement. He asked, 'What does it mean that it won't be good from now on ? Are you going to wrestle?' In
answer, Tamang said, 'Even if you understand, it will not be good from now on.'
Dahal demanded that such threats be unparliamentary and removed from the records of the committee. Then UML Secretary Yogesh Bhattarai, who is also a member of the committee, defended MP Tamang's threatening language. 'Is it unparliamentary language to say it is not good ?' Bhattarai warned MPs who objected, including Dahal, 'They became MPs 20 years before you.'
Meanwhile, the chairman of the committee, Pokharel, was not interested in settling the dispute between the MPs. He was watching . Tamang said again, 'You are the only one and in this committee ?' Tamang also said that the parliamentary committee meeting is not for listening to someone's stubbornness.
