 Lawmaker of CPN (UML) Padma Giri demanded the resignation of Deputy Speaker Indira Rana to, what he said, pave the way for keeping the decorum and dignity of the parliament.

During the special hour of today's House of Representatives (HoR) meeting, he said the decision taken by the dignified persons of the parliament such as Deputy Speaker and his/her conducts are associated with the glory and dignity of the parliament.

"The Deputy Speaker did not maintain the dignity and glory of the Parliament. She has ignored the issue that has been raised in the parliament for a long time," he said, adding, "It would be better for the Deputy Speaker to resign to pave the way for protecting the dignity of the parliament."

He further explained, "It is not the matter of prejudice against any individual. However, the decisions and conducts of the Deputy Speaker, a dignified person of the Parliament, are linked to the dignity of the Parliament".

Giri claimed that she had tarnished the image of parliament by writing a recommendation letter to the US Embassy for people not associated with the parliament to attend a programme in the US.

On a different note, Giri pointed out the need for the concerned ministries to pay attention to improve the national flag carrier Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC), which was going through a major crisis. He said that it was difficult to pay the interest and installments of the loan as the operation of the aircraft purchased by taking loans was not effective.

Another lawmaker Suhang Nembang stressed the need to take ahead the country to the path of prosperity by ironing out differences through the medium of consensus and collaboration.

Nepali Congress lawmaker Rajendra Bajgai pointed out the need for the government to pay special attention to enhance the country's aviation security.

Lawmaker Pratima Gautam drew the attention of the stakeholders to the difficulties faced by the general public in commuting due to the collapse of roads, potholes and lack of timely repair in various places of Kathmandu.

CPN (Maoist Centre) lawmaker Purna Bahadur Gharti drew the attention of the government to review the recent Supreme Court order regarding the construction of structures on the banks of the rivers within the Kathmandu Metropolitan City.

He argued that efforts were made to keep pertinent issues in shade by demanding resignation of the Deputy Speaker.

Rastriya Swatantra Party lawmaker Binita Kathayat demanded that the name of the road connecting Surkhet to Jumla along the Karnali Highway should be renamed as Karnali Highway. She also demanded speeding up the construction of the 210-mile Karnali Highway.
