Rashtriya Prajatantra Party whip Bina Lama has questioned that the government is rushing to pass the land bill and whose interest is it to fulfill.
Will the squatter problem be solved in Nepal after the implementation of this bill, which the government is trying to pass in a hurry? She also asked that .
In Tuesday's meeting of the Agriculture, Cooperative and Natural Resources Committee under the House of Representatives, RPP Whip Lama also said that the party is opposed to the arrangements made in the bill.
The government has introduced the Bill, 2082 to amend some Nepal Acts related to land . The parliamentarians have questioned the interest of the government in trying to pass this bill through the parliament without discussing it in the parliamentary committee. Lama says that the bill is not meant to solve the problems of the people but to exploit the land. It seems that the arrangements made in the bill are not people-oriented but exploitative and selfish. There seems to be an intention to sell the government land of Gouchar, Haat in the name of squatters and squatters,' asked Lama, 'it has been decades since Nepal has distributed land to squatters . Neither the land to get land became rich nor the squatter problem was solved . After distribution of land according to this Act, there will be no squatters in Nepal?'
Lama said that looking at the provisions made by the government in the bill, the problem of landlessness and squatters in Nepal cannot be solved. She also said that there is no support of the RPP in the work of amending the land law. "Instead, if the system of leasing for housing is to be opened, let's come up with a proposal on how many plantations or hectares will be given for such purposes from now on and discuss it." Rashtriya Prajatantra Party wants to support you in that. This is the easiest way,' she proposed. He said that the government needs to enact a law to lease land.
Lama also said that the law that is being made now should not be applied to land-related actions in the past. He was of the opinion that exorcism laws should not be made. "Such amendments made in the name of making laws will be known to the party as well," she said.
