UML’s disruptive ways

The party seems to consider House disturbance the only effective way to communicate its message.

The meeting of the Lower House of Parliament was again called off on Wednesday following sloganeering from members of the main opposition, CPN-UML. The party has been continuously disrupting the House for two weeks, calling for the formation of a high-level panel on the gold smuggling case. This has rendered Parliament worthless at a time myriad issues require urgent attention. The latest disruption comes after Home Minister Narayan Kaji Shrestha spoke in the Lower House on Tuesday, committing to take the case to a logical conclusion while asking the parties to trust the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of the Nepal Police , which is investigating it.
