NA session: Not normal to raise questions against system, insist lawmakers

Kathmandu, June 3: Members of the National Assembly (NA) have expressed serious concerns over activities aimed at undermining the federal democratic republic system.     

Speaking during a special session of the Upper House today, lawmakers strongly objected to ongoing efforts by certain groups to reverse the existing political system. They stressed the urgent need for democratic forces to unite and protect the system against such attempts.     

Tulasha Kumari Dahal condemned what she described as baseless accusations against the federal democratic republic. “It is not normal that questions are being raised against the system,” she argued.     

Krishna Bahadur Rokaya said that there have been deliberate efforts from the street to weaken the federal democratic structure. He expressed concern that individuals and groups who had no role in the establishment of the federal republic and the Constitution are now trying to derail the system. He also criticized the ongoing House obstruction by the opposition parties.     

Bhuwan Bahadur Sunar of the CPN (Maoist Centre) raised concerns over continuing caste-based discrimination in the country and the lack of justice for survivors. He urged the government, through the National Assembly Chair, to take immediate action.     

According to Sunar, multiple factors including inaction by elected representatives, weak law enforcement, insufficient media coverage, and the cycle of poverty have made it difficult for victims to access justice.     

He called for the formation of a high-level parliamentary committee to address cases of caste-based discrimination, particularly against Dalits.(RSS)
