In the meeting of the National Assembly on Sunday, the MPs drew the attention of the government to the issue of people's livelihood and asked for a solution.

At a special time of the meeting, MP Sumitra Visi said that the winter session of the Parliament should focus on the discussion of the issues of citizens' life along with law making. 

Member of Parliament Visi mentioned the recent increase in violence against women in the country and requested the government to control it and punish the culprits and give justice to the victims. "Even after one and a half years since the earthquake in Jajarkot, some of the affected people have not received the second installment of relief," MP VC said, "I request the government to listen to the people's complaints immediately." He emphasized that the government has issued ordinances according to the constitution and it should be implemented in favor of the people. In the

meeting, MP Gopi Bahadur Sarki Achami said that people's daily lives were affected by the bandh call made by the protestors after the incident related to cable car construction in Pathibhara. In this regard, he drew the attention of the government and called both sides and asked for a proper solution through negotiations. "The loss of property has increased due to the attack of wild elephants in Koshi province recently. I request the government for its proper management,' he said. MP Achami also demanded that the reconstruction of BP highway should be completed before monsoon.

Member of Parliament Vishnukamari Sapkota said that although many arrangements are good in the ordinance issued by the government, there is a need to discuss some things for amendments. He also pointed out the need to amend some things for the effective implementation of the Constitution of Nepal. "As the constitution is dynamic, there is a need to revise it in time," he said. MP Sapkota mentioned that it is necessary to create an environment to invest in the country by stopping the young people who are migrating abroad by spending millions. 

Member of Parliament Jayantidevi Rai said that the killing of 14-year-old Isara Khadka and 15-year-old Saraswati Khadka while they were shepherding in Dhakari Rural Municipality of Acham on January 11 was inhumane and called the attention of the government to take immediate action against the culprits and bring justice to the victims' families. Also, he demanded to create conditions for all girls to live freely. 

MP Vamdev Gautam said that he is neither in favor of nor opposed to the ordinance and mentioned that the opposition should be taken along with him while issuing the ordinance and should not violate the democratic norms . Leader Gautam mentioned that socialism can be built along with capitalism and said, 'Socialism can be built, this is what is needed today. The necessary capital for this is with us.'

Member of Parliament Pooja Chaudhary suggested that more efforts should be made for the release of Nepali student Vipin Joshi, who is said to be under the control of the Hamas group in Gaza, Palestine, when there is a ceasefire between Israel and Palestine. He also drew the government's attention to the removal of the quota of Tharu in the fourth level of the state civil service in Madhes state, despite the Tharu community having the fourth largest population among the tribal tribes. 

Similarly, MP Padam Bahadur Pariyar said that even though there is a provision in the constitution for the Dalit community, the government has not yet been able to make a law to provide for the land. He also complained that no matter which party the government came to, they could not pay due attention to the rights of the Dalit community.

MP Jagprasad Sharma drew the attention of the government to the fact that the issue of giving land to squatters in the ordinance related to land is positive and that it should be aware of the possibility of land mafia when the restrictions are lifted.
