The Nepali Congress parliamentary party (PP) Saturday decided to obstruct budget session of the Legislature Parliament in protest against the preparations of the ruling parties to table the early budget. However, the PP decided not to obstruct other sittings of the House.

The PP concluded that focusing on budget would be to waste the crucial time which should be used for drafting the constitution and concluding the peace process.

“The meeting concluded that the ongoing peace process should be completed at any cost for promulgation of the new statute within May 28,” NC leader Nabindra Raj Joshi told reporters.

Meanwhile, the meeting also demanded that the newly appointed Managing Director Dr. Laxmi Narayan Singh be allowed to work in Bharatpur Cancer Hospital without any obstruction.

The party has also urged the government should make necessary arrangement for smooth supply of fuel, Joshi informed. nepalnews.com
