The House of Representatives on Thursday passed four resolutions asking the government to form a high-level Judicial Commission to initiate immediate action against those involved in suppressing the people’s movement, and endorsing the pacts, understandings and agreements reached between the seven party alliance and Maoists.

Endorsing a proposal placed before on Thursday’s session, the House directed the government to take action against officials of the previous government led by King Gyanendra. The royal regime killed 19 demonstrators and injured about 5,000 in course of the demonstrations.

Speaking in the Parliament on Thursday, Home Minister Krishna Sitaula assured that the government would take action against those responsible for killing and suppression of pro-democracy activists as demanded by the MPs.

According to reports, UML MP Rajendra Pandey called for action against vice-chairman of the former Council of Ministers Dr Tulsi Giri, Home Minister Kamal Thapa, Information Minister Shrish Shumshere Rana, Police Chief Shyam Bhakta Thapa, high-ranking police officials Durja Kumar Rai, Madhav Thapa, Devi Ram Thapa and Shahabir Thapa. He also urged the government to seize their passports so that they cannot flee.

Another UML MP Ishwor Pokhrel said that the government should not give amnesty to the accused like the Mallik Commission did after the 1990 people’s movement.

MPs Tirtha Ram Dangol, Chitra Bahadur KC, Khem Raj Bhatta Mayalu, Hridayesh Tripathi, Dr Ram Baran Yadav and Lillamani Pokhrel demanded that the government seize the passports of the accused immediately so that they cannot flee from the country.

On Thursday’s session, the House passed the 12-point understanding reached between the seven-party alliance and the Maoists some months ago.

The lawmakers also passed another important motion not take allowances of the last four years when the Parliament had remained dissolved.

This decision has contributed Rs 363 million to the state treasury (every MP contributed Rs 1.27 million). The House also passed a separate motion that the MPs would provide their daily allowances of the ongoing session for the treatment of those injured in course of people’s movement.
