UCPN (Maoist) boycotts parliament meeting


The main opposition UCPN (Maoist) boycotted today's parliament meeting accusing the government of endorsing incomplete budget for the fiscal year 2015/16.
The Maoist lawmakers stood up and obstructed the meeting soon after Finance Minister Dr Ram Sharan Mahat presented the Appropriation Bill-2072 BS for discussion.
Among others, the party has accused the budget of not paying heed to the post-quake reconstruction and the peace process in the budget.
Prior to the boycott, Maoist's Chief Whip Giriraj Mani Pokharel spoke in the parliament about the budget being 'discriminatory'.
Speaker Subas Nembang postponed the meeting for Tuesday following the boycott. RSS
