Parliamentary Calendar After Year-Long Demand
It's taken a year, but we've succeeded - the parliamentary calendar is finally here. Sumana Shrestha, MP of Rastirya Swatanra Party
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.
After extensive discussions on the calendar, Speaker Dev Raj Ghimire engaged with party whips and chief whips to reaffirm the parties' commitment to strictly adhere to the proposed schedule. The initial 15-day calendar for the HoR has been finalized, with three days allocated for parliamentary sessions and the remaining three designated for committee meetings. Notably, Members of Parliament will enjoy flexibility to visit their constituencies during non-scheduled committee meeting days.
The National Assembly Business Advisory Committee has granted approval for calendars covering the months of Magh and Falgun. President Ram Chandra Paudel has convened a joint meeting of both houses on February 5, marking a significant step in the implementation of the agreed-upon parliamentary schedule.
In response to the development, Rastirya Swatanra Party MP Sumana Shrestha, along with other parliamentarians, who had demanded a parliamentary calendar a year ago, expressed satisfaction. Sumana Shrestha took to X to share her sentiments, stating, "It's taken a year, but we've succeeded - the parliamentary calendar is finally here. This marks our victory against the status quo, but its successful implementation requires unwavering commitment - let's give it our best effort."
