When will the PM's Q&A take place?
Summary
Questions are mounting over when Prime Minister Balendra Shah will face lawmakers for a question-and-answer session after it was left out of the latest House schedule. Opposition leaders say the session must be held before his planned trip to the United States for the UN General Assembly.
Key Points
- The House of Representatives' latest tentative schedule does not include the postponed Q&A session with Prime Minister Balendra Shah.
- The session was originally set for August 26 but was postponed after the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli floods.
- Opposition parties, including Nepali Congress leader Vishmaraj Angdembe, are pressing Speaker Dol Prasad Aryal to schedule it before Shah leaves for the United States.
- The ruling side says the prime minister has been occupied with disaster response and reconstruction efforts.
