Speaker Suspends Four Lawmakers For Hindering House Session
By KTM Metro Reporter
June 20, 2011: Speaker Subash Nemwang has forcibly removed four lawmakers from the House and suspended them for a week for obstructing the House session demanding the government bring inclusive bill, ensure their rights to self-determination and change the names of the proposed provinces, ‘The Rising of Nepal’ of today writes. The suspended lawmakers are Bisendra Paswan of Dalit Janajati Party, independent Shardul Miya Haq, Rukmini Chaudhary of Sanghiye Loktantrik Mancha and Buddha Ratna Manandhar of Nepa Rastriya Party.
The Speaker has done a remarkable job removing the indiscipline lawmakers and suspending them for a week as a punishment but these lawmakers belong to insignificant political parties. The Speaker should apply this principle to all other lawmakers that would obstruct the smooth running of the House session.
NC lawmakers have publicly stated that they would not allow the government to submit the budget for the fiscal year 2011. If they really do it then the Speaker needs to apply the same principle that he has applied to the four lawmakers and remove them from the House and suspend them for indefinitely because as long as they could sit in the House session they would not let the parliament do it business of discussing and passing the budget for the fiscal year 2011.
President of NC Sushil Koirala before leaving Kathmandu for USA for health check-up yesterday has said that “the government and the UCPN-Maoist should move ahead the peace process to garner the support of NC to endorse the new budget in the parliament; if they do not move the peace process ahead, NC will never accept the new budget and will obstruct the House procedures”, ‘The Rising Nepal’ of today writes.
