Parliament meeting adjourned for 15 minutes following UML’s obstruction

The main opposition CPN-UML has expressed its dissatisfaction over the remarks of Minister for Industry, Commerce and Supplies Dilendra Prasad Badu.

Speaking at a meeting of the House of Representatives on Friday, Minister Badu accused former Prime Minister and UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli of taking the commission while he was in the government.

Later, the UML lawmakers obstructed the meeting demanding that the remarks made against Oli be removed from the record. They have also demanded an apology from Badu.

Minister Badu termed the remarks made by Oli during the discussion on policy and programs held on Thursday as baseless. 

UML Chief Whip Bishal Bhattarai said that as a minister Badu cannot make such unconstitutional statement.

The Parliament meeting has been adjourned for 15 minutes following the obstruction.
