People are strongest opposition: Speaker Aryal

By TRN Online, Kathmandu, April 5: Speaker of the House of Representatives (HoR) Dol Prasad Aryal has expressed commitment to perform his duties by staying completely impartial, fair and neutral.

While assuming the office at Singha Durbar after the swearing in, Speaker Aryal said he has a deep understanding about the value, neutrality and impartiality of the position of Speaker.

He said that the present HoR was the mandate of the special election of this year and that the people were the strongest opposition of this time.

Speaker Aryal viewed that the session should specially belong to the opposition.

He said he would take step for ensuring that the oppositions have a respectful environment for raising issues.

"For many years, we have had no chance to find good news in the news media. I urge Nepalis around the globe and the friends in media to think, speak and write positive things for at least two years," said the Speaker.

Saying that the HoR was mainly for making laws, he said he would extend support to government for making the laws. He urged all to come forward with proposals of solutions as well, not only the problems.
