National Independent Party MP Sobita Gautam said that when she tried to ask Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli questions on the visit visa issue, she did not get time from the speaker.
In Friday's meeting of the House of Representatives, there was an agenda for parliamentarians to ask questions to the Prime Minister . The RSVP, which has been obstructing the parliament, demanded to be able to speak before entering the agenda. The RSVP, which has been protesting in the House of Representatives meeting since May 30, had demanded to be allowed to ask questions to the Prime Minister in the meeting on Friday. However, Speaker Devraj Ghimire did not give time.
'What is the purpose of the House if an environment is created where the voice of the people is heard and not heard? We are coming saying that our voices should be heard and the problem should be solved. We didn't say don't run the prime minister's question and answer program, run it, but we also had a question . If we do not answer our questions to the person leading the government, who will we tell them?', she said, 'There is no point in listening to the Prime Minister when MPs ask questions when they come to the House.
Gautam said that it is a practice to listen to a party that has a member of parliament in the parliament. Gautam said that MPs representing the people should be given time to express their views and the government should also listen to those questions. However, Speaker Ghimire said that even when obstructing the House and surrounding the well, she did not give time to the RSVP. MP Gautam said that only after that they are forced to boycott the House.
'In the House, when we are protesting many times, we have boycotted saying that if the House does not listen to us, we will not have our place in this House. What option is left now except to go to Janata?,' she said.
Gautam said that sitting in the House is like a waste of time. "Rather than wasting time sitting in the House, we feel that it is more important to go to the people and show them the reality that this is happening, that's why we boycotted," she said.
Similarly, Gautam said that there has been a demand to form a high-level committee to investigate wrongdoings and not specific individuals in relation to the visit visa case and immigration. She said that there is a demand to form a fair and high-level committee to investigate the visit visa case in depth.
