He expressed the view that the NC would raise the issue about Poudel's hunger strike in the Parliament, saying the fast-onto-death staged by the ward chair is for exerting pressure on the bodies concerned to resolve the problems of the people of Madi.
Poudel, who is on a hunger-strike from February 29, has been admitted to Bharatpur Hospital on Monday morning amidst worsening health condition and he is receiving treatment at Incentive Care Unit of Bharatpur Hospital.
On a different note, NC Chief Whip Khand argued that the Prime Minister should brief the Parliament about the issue of security printing press.
