HoR Meeting Postponed
Sakar Koirala is an aspiring advocate who roams around with a contemplative spirit, contemplating law beyond textbooks and on its philosophical meanings that shape human values and society.
The Monday session of the House of Representatives was postponed as members of the main opposition CPN-UML raised slogans, demanding the establishment of a high-level inquiry committee for the gold case. Speaker Devraj Ghimire subsequently canceled all scheduled proceedings, adjourning the meeting until August 20.
During the session, Nepali Congress MP Sunil Sharma and UML MP Manveer Rai shared their viewpoints. Sunil Sharma has demanded the resignation of Home Minister Narayankaji Shrestha. Speaking in the House of Representatives meeting, Sharma said that if the Home Minister does not resign, he will go on a hunger strike.
"The current Home Minister made me look like a terrorist and arrested me. He should resign unconditionally," he said. "Through the Speaker, I want to reiterate that if the Home Minister does not resign, I will go on a hunger strike."
He also stated that the Prime Minister should apologize for his arrest. MP Sharma had previously demanded the resignation of both the Home Minister and the Finance Minister. He was arrested by the CIB on charges of obtaining fake educational certificates and was released after a court order.
