Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) Federal Council Chairman Baburam Bhattarai said that the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) agreement is nothing more than an aid project between Nepal and the United States.
Speaking at a Parliament meeting held on Sunday, Bhattarai claimed that there is nothing that should be protested in the MCC.
“MCC was a general grant. But, we made a mountain out of a molehill,” Bhattarai said, adding, “This is nothing but an aid project.”
He also apologised for violating the sovereign rights of the people.
“The sovereign power of the people is expressed through the Parliament. I am sad to say that we have been holding the House of Representatives hostage for the last six months. This has violated the sovereign rights of the people,” Bhattarai said.
