The main opposition CPN-UML has demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal. UML lawmaker Raghuji Pant warned that they would not allow the House to proceed with its business until the prime minister tendered his resignation. While launching a book of sardar Pritam Singh, Prime Minister Dahal had said that Singh visited India time and again while he was the prime minister and also helped him to become the head of the government. The UML said that the prime minister’s statement was against the sovereignty of the country. “Dahal’s statement has hurt the sentiment and self-respect of Nepalis,” lawmaker Pant said. He said that the Prime Minister cannot be greater than the dignity of the nation. Pant said that they would not let the House proceed with its business until Dahal resigned as prime minister. Along with the UML, Rastriya Swatantra Party and Rastriya Prajatantra Party lawmakers also gheraoed the rostam when Speaker Dev Raj Ghimire tried to proceed with the House business. Following the obstruction, Speaker Ghimire adjourned the meeting for half-an-hour. Earlier also, the Parliament meeting could not be held after the UML sought answers from the prime minister. The meeting of the National Assembly has also been postponed due to the obstruction of the main opposition party.
