Shram Sanskriti Party Chair Harka Sampang staged a walkout from the House of Representatives, protesting the absence of Prime Minister Balen Shah and the Speaker's decision to have a minister respond on his behalf. Sampang insists that lawmakers must have the opportunity to question the Prime Minister directly in Parliament to ensure accountability.

  • Sampang expressed strong objection when the Speaker allocated time for a minister to answer questions instead of the Prime Minister directly addressing the concerns raised by lawmakers.
  • He held a placard demanding the Prime Minister's presence and accountability in Parliament, insisting the Speaker issue a formal ruling on the matter.
  • Following an exchange with Speaker Dol Prasad Aryal, Sampang left the session, stating he would continue boycotting meetings until the Prime Minister appears.
  • Sampang cited Rule 15(2) of parliamentary regulations to support his right to question the Prime Minister directly.
