MAHENDRANAGAR, Aug 17: Finance Minister Dr Prakash Sharan Mahat has accused main opposition CPN-UML of obstructing parliament by picking unnecessary issues.

It is not logical under any circumstances to obstruct parliament, a platform of people’s representatives, he said speaking at a press conference organized here today in Janakpurdham by the Nepali Congress, Madhesh Province.

No one has the right to immobilize parliament that represents the voices of people although the main opposition party has the right to protest for the sake of constructive work, he said.

As a result of the UML’s obstruction in parliament, many bills prepared to be tabled in the House have been stuck and talks on many important issues and making laws have not taken place, complained FM Mahat.

He shared that it was not possible to allocate a substantial budget for some regions of Madhesh Province due to the lack of enough economic resources and the current economic situation of the country.

“It was not possible to set aside enough budget for everyone this time. I request that people of a particular geography or region should not take it as discrimination,” viewed the finance minister.
