Kathmandu, Feb. 29 : CPN(UML) leader Bharat Mohan Adhikari has said that during the 17th session of parliament beginning March 1, cpn-uml will together with other opposition parties effectively raise issues concerning serious problems facing the country and the plight of the people.

Mr Adhikari told rss today that his party will draw the government’s attention to the non-implementation of the resolution on price hike which was passed by the special session of the parliament.

Efforts will be made to pressurize the government into implementing the report of the revenue leakage investigation committee, declaring corruption control programme and implementing it honestly, he said.

According to Mr Adhikari, Maoist terrorism, killings, violence, poor law and order situation, prevalent social injustice, excesses, human rights violation are some of the major issues to be raised during this session of parliament.

Since the bill proposed by government in the name of suppressing the Maoists is against the spirit of democracy and the Constitution, cpn-uml remains opposed to it, he said.

He also complained that the level of revenue mobilization is far low compared to that of the previous year, the amount of foreign loans and grants is decreasing and the entire economy is facing a crisis.

This being the situation, he added, his party will make efforts to pressurize the government into maintaining fiscal discipline.
