Speaker DP Aryal Meets PM Balen Shah as Parliament Remains Disrupted

khojsamachar.com · 5 days ago

Prime Minister Balen Shah was absent from Nepal's lower house on Thursday as opposition parties blocked proceedings, demanding his personal appearance to answer lawmakers' questions. Speaker Dol Prasad Aryal suspended the session and met with the prime minister to discuss the obstruction and demands. Opposition lawmakers insist on a formal question-and-answer session under Rule 56, viewing the prime minister's absence as a concern about executive accountability and the government's relationship with Parliament. The impasse shows no immediate sign of ending.
