Alternative To Not Passing Budget by Legislature
By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
On October 12, 2009, speaking at the function held in Butwal to open the 56th Annual General Meeting of the Butwal Chamber of Commerce, Minister for Irrigation and Central Member of Nepali Congress Bal Krishna Khad has said that if the United Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-Maoist) does not let the legislature pass the budget for the fiscal year 2006 (2009), the government would use an alternative to get the budget done according to the news published in the state-run newspaper ‘Gorkhapatra’ of October 13, 2009.
The alternative could be to impose a state of emergency and then a presidential rule so that the government could do whatever it likes. The leaders of UCPN-Maoist have been charging the leaders of the Nepali Congress and the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist and Leninist of trying to impose a presidential rule in Nepal.
Disrupting all sorts of the business of the legislature, the Maoist members of the legislature have been taking the legislature hostage demanding to discuss the unconstitutional move of the President on directly writing a letter to the Chief of Army Staff. Leaders of the Nepali Congress and the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist and Leninist have been deadly against the debate over the President’s unconstitutional move on directly writing a letter to the Chief of Army Staff in the legislature.
