Leader Bhattarai suggests mayor Balen not to make provocative statement

Kathmandu, June 4: CPN (UML) lawmaker Yogesh Kumar Bhattarai has urged mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Balendra Shah, not to make provocative statement towards political leadership.    

During the special time in today's meeting of the House of Representatives, leader Bhattarai objected to Mayor Shah's mocking the jail life of leaders of political parties, who were responsible for bringing about epoch-making political change in the country.    

"We are ready to support KMC mayor. CPN (UML) Chair KP Sharma Oli-led government had supported for the waste management of Kathmandu Valley," he said.    

Indicating to mayor Shah, lawmaker Bhattarai underlined, "What is your plan to make Kathmandu more beautiful. Let's work together. I urge not to carry out disorderly activities."    

He expressed the belief that a parliamentary probe committee formed to investigate on cooperative fund fraud would present a clear concept regarding policy-level problems of cooperatives, adding the UML was ready for investigation into all scams.    

"Our party and party chairperson was accused in a premeditated manner on Giribandhu issue," the lawmaker expressed, stating that many issues related to the people could not be raised due to House obstruction by the Nepali Congress. (RSS)
