Lawmakers from the Shram Sanskriti Party staged a protest inside the House of Representatives, displaying placards to demand accountability from Prime Minister Balen Shah. The party insists the Prime Minister must be answerable to Parliament and that his absence during discussions on government policies and programs is unacceptable. The protests have disrupted parliamentary proceedings, with the Speaker urging lawmakers to maintain decorum.

• The Shram Sanskriti Party's protest centers on the Prime Minister's repeated absence from parliamentary sessions, particularly during discussions on the government's policy and program.
• Lawmakers carried slogans such as "The Prime Minister must be accountable to Parliament," "Stop running away from questions," and "Respect the public mandate."
• Opposition parties have previously obstructed House proceedings, demanding the Prime Minister's personal response to questions rather than allowing the Finance Minister to speak on his behalf.
• The Speaker, Dol Prasad Aryal, has intervened, urging lawmakers to maintain parliamentary decorum and stating that displaying placards is not a recognized parliamentary practice.
• The party has warned that protests will continue until the government demonstrates responsibility and accountability towards the legislature.
