UML obstructs HoR meeting, HoR meeting postponed till Wednesday morning

The meeting of the House of Representatives (HoR) has been postponed till 11:00 am Wednesday due to the obstruction by CPN (UML) parliamentarians.

The parliamentarians from the major opposition party demanded a parliamentary probe into the involvement of unauthorized person during the budget making process for the upcoming fiscal year 2022/23.

Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota announced that the HoR would meet again at 11:00 am on Wednesday after the parliamentarians stood up from their respective seats in a gesture of protest while deliberation on the Appropriation Bill for the upcoming fiscal year was ongoing at House.

Earlier, Minister for Finance Janardan Sharma had responded to the the matters of public concerns. UML whip Bishal Bhattarai then said that Finance Minister’s responses were not convincing and asserted that the parliament would not hold meeting until a parliamentary probe was conducted.
