Congress President Gagan Kumar Thapa has called the Prime Minister's remarks on encroachment, 'cross-border occupation' and disputes in the border area 'objectionable, worrying and anti-national' without any facts and evidence.
President Thapa said this while launching the Lumbini state-level grassroots campaign of the Congress starting on Thursday. 'It is against the national interest for the Prime Minister to speak like this without facts, evidence and documents,' he said, 'Ignoring the map of Nepal and its foundations, which was unanimously passed by the parliament in 2074 BS by all parties, is an anti-national trend.'
He also accused the Prime Minister of bowing his head and trying to disrupt national integrity with such an irresponsible move. President Thapa said that this is a 'matter of national shame' and that the Prime Minister should immediately appear in parliament, admit his mistake and apologize to the people.
Launching the campaign, Speaker Thapa also said that the incident in which the ruling party passed the Parliament Rules in the Parliament on Sunday's meeting with the support of a majority is a black day in the history of the Parliament. As the main opposition party, he has also warned that the Congress will take this incident to court.
'Yesterday is a black day in the history of the Federal Parliament in the tradition of making laws for the operation of Parliament,' he said, 'where the ruling party, under the arrogance of a majority, forcibly suppressed the voices of the opposition parties, who should have unanimously passed the Rules of an institution like Parliament, and passed the Rules. Which is contrary to the practice and precedent so far.'
He said that the provision of the Rules, which makes the Speaker the final interpreter of the rights of the person entering the Parliament, is unconstitutional. Speaker Thapa said that the judiciary should correct when the executive or legislature crosses the limits set by the constitution and law.
Thapa explained the table-banging behavior of the RSP MPs as a mania for numbers, linking it to the behavior of the NCP MPs earlier. “Sometimes numbers become mania, the government goes astray and forgets its responsibilities,” he said, “which the NCP government had done before.”
Stating that the rules were forcibly passed despite the opposition and resistance of the Congress in Parliament, he said that it is the responsibility of the party workers to take this issue to the doorsteps of the citizens.
