The Interim Legislature-Parliament Thursday directed the government to present its Common Minimum Program (CMP) in the parliament after completing the necessary procedures.
Today’s sitting issued the directives to the government to present the document with government signatures and official government stamp, not only with the signatures of the eight party leaders.
The document, containing signatures of eight-party leaders, was presented by the government in the Interim-Legislature Parliament on Tuesday.
After parliamentarians expressed objections to the CMP, Speaker of the house Subash Nembang directed the government to present the document only after necessary corrections were made.
As soon as today’s parliamentary sitting began, Members of Parliament (MP), demanding that the sitting be cancelled, stated that an incomplete and unconstitutional documentation could not be discussed in the parliament.
They condemned the government stating that it (the government) had presented an incomplete document against parliamentary supremacy and traditions.
After objections were raised, the speaker directed the government to correct the mistakes as per the rules and traditions of the parliament and then present it before the Interim Legislature-Parliament for discussions.
Today’s sitting was cancelled after Speaker Nembang directed the government to present the corrected document tomorrow at 11am for discussion in the parliament.
Peace and reconstruction minister Ram Chandra Poudel on Tuesday had tabled the minimum program in the parliament.
