In today's meeting of the House of Representatives, the parliamentarians drew the attention of the government to the fire in Khotang Halesi Tuwachung Municipality-7 and current issues.
Member of Parliament Saraswati Bajimay demanded relief to the victims as soon as possible as a shop of worship materials and a microfinance office on the second floor were damaged in the Khotang fire that broke out on Sunday. She also told that the security personnel, public representatives and local people contributed to save from the huge damage caused by the fire. MP Bajimay said that the fire did not spread to many areas due to security personnel, public representatives and local residents throwing out gas cylinders.
Member of Parliament Raghuji Pant mentioned that Nepal is a country that practices a bicameral parliamentary system and said that the practice of passing a regret resolution by the other house on the matter spoken by one member of parliament is wrong. Noting that the National Assembly is not an old age home but a parliament for the elderly, he opined that it is unfortunate that the motion of regret was passed against the members of the House of Representatives.
MP Ramkumar Rai said that there was a loss of 7 million rupees in the Khotang fire, two houses were burnt down. He informed that the Nepal Police, Armed Police, Nepali Army and local people's representatives jointly controlled the fire. He demanded immediate compensation and relief for the fire victims.
Member of Parliament Ashok Kumar Choudhary demanded that the Khotang fire be extinguished only after four hours, so fire engines should be arranged in all districts. He also suggested making preparations to extinguish the fire. Member of Parliament Birendra Prasad Mahato said that it is sad that even if the victim commits suicide in the case of rape, the victim does not come under the scope of legal action. MP Sitakumari Rana emphasized that stress-related diseases have spread in some schools in the western region of Dailekh and that such diseases should be resolved when the final exams begin.
Member of Parliament Surya Bahadur Thapa Kshatri said that it was not fair and against journalistic code of conduct to ask a journalist who was sitting outside while the Prime Minister was leaving after questioning in Parliament on Sunday. He said that the prime minister elected by the parliament could not be Hitler. He complained that journalists were asking him questions saying that he was Hanuman.
Member of Parliament Yakkan Thapalia drew the government's attention to the fact that Rinkukumar Sada of Siraha was gang-raped by some people and forced to commit suicide and the police remained silent. She also urged the home administration not to create an environment where people involved in such crimes walk confidently.
