Know MoreKATHMANDU, April 10: CPN-UML’s lawmaker Raghuji Panta has said that the entry of Indian security forces into Nepal in their bid to search for separatist leader Amritpal Singh clearly shows India’s distrust towards Nepal’s security mechanism.
He also expressed his concerns about the incident. "The laws of Nepal do not allow any foreign security force to enter the country and launch a search operation. Nepal is a sovereign country, and it does enjoy its right to self-determination," he said during today's meeting of the House of Representatives.
Claiming that the open border between Nepal and India is becoming a safe haven for criminals, he drew the attention of the government to control it and stop foreign interference.
Drawing the attention of the government to the people of Bardiya district feeling insecurity due to the incidents of tiger attack, Nepali Congress leader Sanjaya Kumar Gautam demanded security for locals and the formulation of a clear policy on the conservation of tigers.
"Tiger attacks have not stopped in Bardiya district. Over 450 people have lost their lives to tiger attacks since the conservation of wildlife started," he said.
On the issue surrounding Rastriya Swatantra Party's lawmaker Dhaka Kumar Shrestha, its leader Santosh Pariyar said the party had launched an investigation into the matter.
Similarly, NC's Dhanraj Gurung demanded an investigation into the disputed telephonic conversation of Shrestha by forming a parliamentary committee.
He also demanded investigation and action against those involved in human trafficking of Nepali citizens, who were sent to the United States of America in the guise of Bhutanese refugees.
Similarly, NC's Arjun Narsingh KC demanded the start of Tokha-Chhahare tunnel way immediately while another NC leader Udaya Shumsher JBR called for the completion of the Kanti Highway soon.
Rastriya Janamorcha's Chitra Bahadur KC said the party has not accepted the common minimum programme brought by the ruling alliance.
"The party has been always at odds with federalism and on the issues of citizenships and transitional justice, something included in the common minimum programme. We have not accepted federalism," he clarified.
