The main opposition CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli said that Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota should not stop the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) submitted by the government from tabling in the Parliament.

At a time when Speaker Sapkota has been expressing his reluctance to table the MCC without forging national consensus, Oli said that the Speaker should not stop the MCC from tabling in the Parliament.

He further said that the letter sent by Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal to the MCC headquarters was against diplomatic dignity.

“It is against the protocol to send the letter to the MCC headquarters by the Prime Minister,” he said.

Meanwhile, Chairman Oli accused the ruling coalition of trying to make the MCC compact a subject of geopolitical conflict.
