General Secretary Pradeep Paudel Raises Serious Concerns Over Suspension of Parliamentary Session

Pradeep Paudel, General Secretary of the Nepali Congress, has expressed serious concerns regarding the suspension of the parliamentary session. Following President Ramchandra Paudel’s call, the parliament was suspended within 24 hours on the government’s recommendation, raising doubts about the possibility of issuing ordinances during this period. General Secretary Paudel has urged the government to uphold the dignity of the democratically elected institution and proceed with transparency.

Kathmandu, 11 Baisakh – Commenting on the suspension of the parliamentary session, General Secretary Paudel said, “This incident has raised suspicions that the government, despite having a strong majority, is attempting to bypass the parliament’s trust and transparency in policy-making by resorting to the ordinance route.” He questioned why the government’s political confidence appears diminished despite having an easy parliamentary arithmetic and favorable political circumstances.

Emphasizing the importance of transparency in democratic processes and procedures, General Secretary Paudel noted that seeking outcomes by violating procedures undermines both practice and dignity. He stated, “Therefore, I request the government to elevate the dignity of the democratically elected institution and to move forward transparently with full trust in the honorable parliament.”
