Ghimire emphasized that causing commotion while the PM is speaking is inappropriate and urged them to change the manner of their protest.


However the RSP has stated that their protest would continue. Due to RSP’s obstruction, the direct question-answer session with the PM is likely to be affected.


PM Oli has already departed from the official residence, Baluwatar, to Baneshwor for the question-answer session.


The Chief Whips of the ruling UML Mahesh Kumar Bartaula, and the Nepal Congress party, Shyam Kumar Ghimire, have also urged RSP to create an environment that allows the direct question-answer session with the PM to proceed without disturbance.
