Shram Sanskriti Party Chairperson Harka Raj Rai, popularly known as Harka Sampang, stated his readiness to face suspension to ensure government accountability to parliament. He asserted that protests would continue, emphasizing the need to address unanswered questions regarding landless squatters, the Lipulekh issue, and foreign debt, and criticized the government as irresponsible for failing to provide answers. Rai also voiced opposition to the Speaker's ruling, which he believes hinders their ability to question the government.

  • Rai expressed willingness to accept suspension as a consequence of their protests for the sake of a sovereign parliament and its procedures.
  • He highlighted that their questions concerning landless squatters, the Lipulekh issue, and foreign debt remain unanswered.
  • The Speaker, Dol Prasad Aryal, had previously warned members of the SSP Party to correct their conduct after they staged a protest with pamphlets during a House of Representatives meeting.
  • Rai believes the people will judge the government for its irresponsibility in not answering parliamentary questions.
