House session stalled again

The stalled parliamentary proceeding that was scheduled to resume on Thursday, has halted yet again. As Madheshi lawmakers remained stick with their stance, speaker of the interim legislature parliament Subhas Nemwang issued a notice that the parliamentary proceedings were put of till 1 pm Saturday.

Madhesi lawmakers who are demanding the annulment of the report of Electoral Constituencies Delimitation Committee (ECDC) and formation of the judicial committee to probe Terai unrest among other obstructed the session before it could begin. A Madheshi lawmaker Umakanta Chaudhary said they would let not the session be run until the government and Maoist pay heed to their demands.

Blaming the government of remaining indifference, Madheshi lawmakers have been disrupting the parliamentary proceedings for over last one month.

Though Speaker Nemwang, earlier Thursday morning, called on Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala to discuss the stalled House, the efforts to resume the proceedings failed this time too.

The lawmakers demanded the prime minister to address their problems or the eight parties come forward to hold talks with them.
