He argued that citizens are compelled to implement laws they were not involved in creating, highlighting the need for better legislative practices.

• Speaker Aryal presented examples where bills drafted without user involvement lacked practicality and failed to consider geographical context and awareness levels.
• He stressed that the role of former MPs in bringing democracy to the country is extraordinary and believes their experience, combined with the activism of the younger generation, will lead to national prosperity.
• The event, organized by the Former MP's Forum, Nepal, included discussions on legislative and non-legislative practices in parliamentary committees, with experts presenting working papers.
• Forum Vice-President Sushila Sharma suggested that parliamentary practices could be enhanced by combining the experience of former parliamentarians with the activism of current ones.
