Speaker Dol Prasad Aryal Appears 'Helpless' Under Prime Minister Balen Shah's Influence

Opposition parties have urged Speaker Dol Prasad Aryal to make Prime Minister Balen Shah accountable to the House of Representatives, but the Speaker has not been able to make a ruling despite the opposition obstructing the House. Speaker Aryal has been accused of silently supporting Prime Minister Shah's moves and advancing the government's agenda by shortening time, removing important issues, or passing bills amidst protests. The opposition parties are demanding the Prime Minister appear in Parliament to answer questions as per the House of Representatives Regulations.
