The opposition parties have complained that there is no comfortable environment to raise their issues in the House of Representatives. They have also demanded that the opposition should be able to present their issues easily, saying that there is a 'shadow of the government' in the House of Representatives.
The opposition parties, Maoists, RASWP, RPP, have said that they are preparing to draw the attention of Speaker Devraj Ghimire, especially for not being able to raise issues of public interest in the Parliament during the emergency. The ruling party Congress-UML has accused the MPs of the opposition party of using the emergency time as a means to attack the government.
There is a provision in the House of Representatives rules that MPs can speak at zero and special times. Similarly, if there is a serious matter between the previous meeting and the meeting that is about to start, there is a provision that emergency time can be given. "The speaker can set zero and special time for presenting contemporary issues that the members feel necessary," the rules of the parliament state, "but if the member asks for time to draw the government's attention to any serious incident or issue between the previous meeting and the meeting that is about to start, the speaker can provide emergency time." The opposition complains that it is not easy for the Speaker to put forward their issues during the emergency. Speaking on behalf of UML, Speaker Ghimire said that the opposition parties were not able to put their issues in Parliament easily.
The chief whip of the main opposition party, Hitraj Pandey, said that the MPs of the opposition party were not able to present their issues easily. He said that even though the parliament is the place where the opposition parties can raise their voices, it is not easy in the current winter session.
In the parliament, "the MPs of the opposition party are not finding it easy to raise issues of public interest", he said, "somewhere the shadow of the government has fallen in the parliament." This should not happen.'' He said that due to the pressure of the ruling party, the scheduled agenda of the Parliament was suddenly changed. Speaking at the meeting of the House of Representatives on January 29, he said, "Will you accept whatever the government says?" He mentioned that he asked.
In the overall activities of the Parliament, the government is minimizing the Parliament. It is defying. The government does not want to listen to the voice of the people's representatives properly,' he objected, 'Is the parliament going to do whatever the government says, or is the government going to follow the themes made by the people's representatives?' Speaker Ghimire should be aware that the influence of the ruling majority in the Parliament should not be affected and said that the government should be ready to listen to the voice of the opposition.
"The opposition parties have not been able to raise their voices easily," he said, "The government should be ready to listen to the opposition." The opposition should be given the necessary time in the House. He said that the influence of the 'Executive (Government)' has started to be felt in the Parliament. "Parties who have been practicing for a long time should understand that the parliament is mainly for the opposition," he said, "We are feeling the influence of the executive in the parliament." "There is no environment for the opposition to present their issues easily," he said.
In the previous Parliament (2074), I had the experience of having the opportunity to express my views easily when I was alone on behalf of the party. Now, even though there are 14 MPs, there is no environment to talk easily,' he said, 'We have discussed this within the party.' Congress chief whip Shyam Kumar Ghimire mentioned that Speaker Ghimire had given enough time to the opposition party and said that he tried to use it by going outside the issue during the emergency.
The speaker has given enough time to the opposition. The parliamentarians who want to speak have been able to speak," he said. "During the emergency, the opposition parliamentarians have worked to find excuses. There is no difference between the ruling party and the opposition MPs in the Parliament. UML MP and former chief whip Padam Giri, who led the
government, said that the opposition has misused the emergency time of the Parliament. "The opposition has misused the emergency time," he said. But the opposition parliamentarians are trying to balance the government during the emergency. According to a source close to the speaker, at least 20 parliamentarians approach the speaker before every meeting to speak during the emergency.
The speaker is giving more time to the MPs who want to speak than they have asked for. He has been paying attention to the requests of the MPs of the opposition party,' said a close source, 'but in some cases, the MPs of the opposition party have spoken outside the rules of the House of Representatives, so the speaker has drawn attention to it.' "The speaker has been discussing with the chief whip of the party so that the MPs come up with urgent matters during emergencies," said the source.
