LUMBINI, Aug 19: Chief Whip of the CPN-UML, Mahesh Bartaula, has said the government could not become irresponsible by ignoring the issues raised in the parliament.

Accusing the government as the main cause behind the parliament obstruction, Bartaula mentioned that it is the responsibility and duty of the government to resume the parliament proceedings.

At a press meet organized by Press Chautari Nepal, Rupandehi Chapter in Butwal today, Bartaula blamed the government and ruling coalition for spreading the illusion. The parliament was obstructed after the government moved ahead against the constitution and parliamentary norms and values.

He stressed, "The government should be responsible to end the parliament obstruction. The UML demands the government to open all files of financial irregularities and carry out an independent investigation."

The UML has been obstructing the parliament demanding formation of a high-level probe committee in the recent gold scam, mentioned Chief Whip Bartaula.
