Rastriya Swatantra Party Analyzes MP Attendance After Quorum Failures
Summary
Rastriya Swatantra Party has ordered a study of MPs’ attendance after repeated quorum failures in Parliament. The House meeting was also disrupted by the Bhote Koshi flood from Tibet, which left major damage in Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading.
Key Points
- RSP parliamentary leaders asked whips to collect and analyze five days of attendance records from the Parliament Secretariat.
- The quorum failed in a House meeting on Saun 26, preventing the Mines and Minerals Bill, 2083 from being presented for decision.
- Only 61 MPs were present when at least 69 were needed, prompting criticism over ruling party attendance.
- Parliament has been postponed indefinitely because of the flood from China’s Tibet Autonomous Region and the need for rescue and relief work.
