The main opposition CPN-UML has decided to boycott a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee of the House of Representatives called by Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota for Wednesday.
UML lawmaker and member of the Business Advisory Committee Khagraj Adhikari said that they would not attend the meeting due to the party's busy schedule.
Speaker Sapkota has called the meeting of the Business Advisory Committee for 11 am today to make a final list of the agenda before the House meeting.
Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Dilendra Prasad Badu is preparing to float the proposal to table the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) in the meeting of the Business Advisory Committee.
“We will not budge from our stance. There is no meaning of going to the meeting or not,” he said.
Similarly, Krishna Bhakta Pokharel, member of the Business Advisory Committee, said,” we have told the Speaker Sapkota to resign from his post. We have been directed not to attend the meeting called by the Speaker until he put in his papers. Our obstruction in the House will continue.”
Earlier on Tuesday, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba had urged Speaker Sapkota to convene a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee to create a conducive environment for holding the Parliament meeting.
