Similarly, Rawal, a former minister, asked how the government manages Nepal's economy when trade deficit and current account deficit, external debt all are increasing, repayment imbalance is acute and each Nepali is burdened with a debt of more than Rs 60,000.
Likewise, questioning the Ministry of Defense, he said that the government's silence on Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura and Kalapani would not safeguard Nepal’s independence and sovereignty. He said that it was unbelievable that Tribhuvan University is called the best university in the country even when no efforts are made to open the university which remains padlocked for the past 139 days.
