Opposition Leader Ram Bahadur Thapa 'Badal' States PM Balen Shah and Rabi Lamichhane Hold Key to Ending Parliamentary Stalemate

Kathmandu. Opposition party CPN (UML) Parliamentary Party leader Ram Bahadur Thapa 'Badal' has stated that the key to ending the ongoing parliamentary deadlock lies with Prime Minister Balen Shah and Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Chairman Rabi Lamichhane. Speaking in the House of Representatives meeting on Wednesday, he also put forward three conditions for resolving the parliamentary crisis.

The UML has been protesting in parliament, stating that Prime Minister Shah's statement that Nepal has encroached upon India's land is anti-national and baseless. Leader Thapa said that his party strongly disagrees with the clarification given by the Foreign Minister regarding the Prime Minister's recent statement. He demanded that the Prime Minister himself should appear in the rostrum and respond, rather than the Foreign Minister defending the Prime Minister's announcement or statement.
