Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Chairman of the main opposition party CPN-Maoist Center, has said that the government is on the way to insult and deceive the Parliament. Dahal, who is also a former prime minister, said that the ordinance was introduced when the session was convened during his speech at the House of Representatives meeting on Thursday.
He said that the opposition parties had asked the government to convene a parliamentary meeting, but they had been ignored. It seems that the government is on the way to insult and deceive the Parliament. This convention should have been called a long time ago, but it was not called. The entire opposition held a formal meeting and demanded. However, there was no hearing. The government not only ran away from the session, but brought one ordinance after another in a conspiratorial manner. We have objection to this level of neglect of the sovereign parliament,' said Dahal.
In the last 35 years, Congress and UML have been running the government, but the ordinance was introduced without waiting for the Parliament meeting for 6 days. A meeting of Parliament has been called on January 8, but only six days ago, five or five ordinances were brought to amend dozens of laws. In the last thirty-five years, the Nepali Congress has been prime minister twelve times, CPN-UML seven times. After ruling for thirty-five years, you came today and brought an ordinance saying that the development of the country will be delayed by 6 days?,' he said.
Despite boasting that there is a two-thirds majority in Parliament, he says that the ordinance was brought overnight. "Overnight, the thief of the ordinance says, your intention is not right. At other times, you have to listen to the arrogance of two-thirds of the parliament. The arrogance of a strong government should be heard. And the government is run by ordinances? This is an insult and contempt of the sovereign Parliament. This is not only the government's fear of the opposition, but also the government's distrust of the honorable members of the ruling party who supported it,' he said.
Chairman Dahal questioned why the government was afraid to open discussion on the bill in the parliamentary committee if ordinances were brought for development. Why was the ordinance introduced without even withdrawing the pending bill in the parliament? If the government and parliament want, the bill can be passed by the thematic committee, the House of Representatives and the National Assembly within ten days through fast track, while the replacement bill has to go through a long process of 60 days,' he said.
Chairman Dahal also said that the ordinance was brought to feed certain interest groups. If you thought about the country and the people, you would not be afraid of the Parliament. Because you have to feed the interest groups, you have caught the thief of the ordinance. If the executive will do everything, why do we need the legislature?', he said.
