Nepali Congress leader Bhishma Raj Angdembe criticized the government for creating an institutional vacuum by dismissing appointed office-bearers, leaving sensitive state bodies non-functional. Meanwhile, CPN (UML) MP Yashuda Kumari Baral raised concerns about disrespectful behavior from Rastriya Swatantra Party lawmakers towards opposition members in Parliament.

  • Angdembe highlighted that conflict victims remain deprived of justice even after two decades of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, citing legal shortcomings in the TRC Act.
  • Baral alleged that while the Speaker often orders the removal of remarks made by opposition lawmakers, similar action is not taken against ruling party members.
  • Angdembe stressed the need for quick appointments of capable and impartial individuals to make transitional justice commissions and other sensitive agencies functional.
  • Baral demanded that inappropriate remarks made in Parliament be removed from the official record and emphasized that all members are equal.
  • The government is accused of creating a vacuum in sensitive state bodies by dismissing office-bearers appointed through political power-sharing.
