Sunday’s House of Representatives meeting got tense after the opposition’s continuous protests obstructed proceedings.
As soon as the House Speaker Dev Raj Ghimire convened the meeting, lawmakers from opposition parties—the CPN-UML, the Rastriya Swatantra Party and the Rastriya Prajatantra Party—stood from their seats to protest the President’s validation of the citizenship bill last week. The Speaker’s repeated requests had no impact on the lawmakers who soon started chanting slogans.
