The ruling party is going to ask the speaker Devraj Ghimirele to run the parliament if the opposition does not remove the obstruction of the parliament in the case of visit visa. The Congress UML has prepared to ask the speaker to run the parliament saying that the opposition's demand for the resignation of the home minister and the formation of an inquiry committee in the visit visa case is not justified.
After the presentation of the budget in the Parliament on May 15, all the meetings have been blocked and postponed due to the opposition. Because of this, the discussion on the budget and the staff bill in the parliament could not proceed .
UML chief whip Mahesh Bertaula said that the opposition would request the speaker to proceed without removing the obstruction of the parliament, stating that there is no reason to form a committee to investigate the visit visa case which is being investigated by the Commission of Investigation.
Many businesses are at a standstill when Parliament is blocked. Discussions on the budget, personnel and other bills should be carried forward," he said. "The ruling party has requested the speaker to proceed with the meeting of the parliament. The opposition should be responsible and remove the obstruction of the Parliament. "Until now, we have endured the parliament obstruction." How long will it be obstructed now?,' he said, 'The responsibility of opening the parliament is now on the opposition.'
Congress chief whip Shyam Kumar Ghimire accused the opposition of obstructing the parliament on the pretext of the visit visa issue and said that he will take responsibility and remove the obstruction of the parliament. 'The opposition should open the parliament to be accountable to the people.'
The main opposition Maoists proposed a proposal on Wednesday to avoid the resignation of the Home Minister Ramesh Akhtar, who formed an inquiry committee in the visit visa case. The meeting of the Parliament could not be held on Thursday after the Congress and Amal disagreed on the visit visa issue related to the Ministry of Home Affairs, which is being handled by the Congress.
The Maoists had decided in a meeting of the parliamentary party that the home minister should resign over the visit visa issue and that the parliament would not be allowed to run unless an inquiry committee was formed. But on Tuesday, if he was ready to form a parliamentary committee on the Maoist visit visa issue, the home minister was flexible from his stance that he should resign.
On Wednesday, in a meeting called by Speaker Devraj Ghimire, the Congress held that there is no need for the Home Minister's resignation and the formation of an inquiry committee as the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority has proceeded with the investigation into the visit visa case . After this stand of the Congress, the Maoists reiterated their stance of blocking the Parliament if they are not even ready to form an inquiry committee. After there was no agreement between the ruling party and the opposition, the notice of the meeting of the House of Representatives was postponed until Thursday.
Congress Chief Whip Ghimire said that the demands of the opposition including the Maoists cannot be addressed . "The authority has started the investigation in the case of visit visa". Why was it necessary to form another parliamentary committee when the authority was investigating independently?, he said, "There has been no investigation on the Home Minister in this case." It is not a matter of the resignation of the Home Minister.' Ghimire says that if there is a demand for the resignation of the concerned minister in the case of
in the government agency, no minister can work. The ruling party says that the main opposition party has obstructed its constitutional rights by demanding another investigation into the matter being investigated by the authority. "There is no need for another investigation committee on the matter that Akhtiyar is looking into," said Bertaula, chief whip of the UML parliamentary party, "The authority will carry out the investigation of the visit visa case." We have to trust a reliable organ of state . It is immature and irresponsible for the opposition to demand the formation of another committee.
Chairman of the main opposition party Maoists Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said that although the Maoists are flexible about the resignation of the home minister in the case of visit visas, it is a serious matter that the ruling party is not ready to limit the investigation. He discussed with close leaders in Khumaltar and mentioned that the ruling party should be responsible for opening the parliament and said that the parliament will be blocked until the inquiry committee is formed. "Despite being flexible about the resignation of the Home Minister, not being ready to form an inquiry committee on the visit visa is a serious issue." At least until an inquiry committee is formed, the obstruction will continue in the parliament,' said Dahal.
Maoist chief whip Hitraj Pandey said that if the ruling party is not ready to form an inquiry committee to investigate the visit visa case and bring out the truth, the parliament will continue to be blocked . "There can be no agreement on the opening of the Parliament when it is not ready to form an inquiry committee," he said.
Maoist MP Rekha Sharma said that she was in favor of running the parliament by force without even preparing to create a path (investigation committee) between the ruling parties. "From the past to the present, the opposition has been saying that we should form a committee to investigate the visit visa and seek consensus." The ruling party seems to be in favor of running the parliament by force, she said, "The ruling party is deliberately in favor of causing conflict in the parliament." The opposition has put forward a flexible proposal to open the parliament. It is sad to use force to run the parliament," she said.
