Shahi stated that the visit visa issue is not limited to any single political party but is a matter of national concern, urging all parties to unite on this issue.
He warned that the RPP will continue its protest unless a parliamentary investigation committee is formed to look into the matter.
Shahi also urged the Speaker not to proceed with House proceedings forcibly despite their protest. As the session continued, Rastriya Swatantra Party lawmakers surrounded the rostrum in protest, while RPP members boycotted the meeting and walked out.
