The main opposition party, CPN (UML), has obstructed the proceedings of the House of Representatives, demanding formation of a high-level committee to probe recent gold scam. Chief Whip of the CPN (UML), Padam Giri, demanded parliamentary ruling in the name of government for investigation into the recent gold scam.
Lawmakers of the CPN (UML) reached the ‘rostrum’ chanting slogans demanding action against gold smugglers. Sharing the information that all the agendas set for today’s meeting were removed, Speaker Devraj Ghimire announced postponement of the meeting to July 31.
Earlier, Speaker Ghimire allocated time to Chief Whip Giri to speak after UML lawmakers came up with protest. Demanding formation of a high-level probe committee in the recent gold scam, Giri shared that they would not allow the House proceeding until their demand heeded.
