Discussion in Parliament over the non-trust act

Discussion is underway in the Parliament on the vote of no-confidence motion tabled against Prime Minister K. P. Oli. Parliamentarians have been airing their respective views- for and against- the no-trust motion. While parliamentarians of the ruling parties are defending the prime minister, parliamentarians of CPN-Maoist Centre and Nepali Congress have been trying to prove the rationale behind the vote of no-confidence. Congress lawmaker Ramesh Lekhak accused the incumbent government of failing to carry out any work in the interest of the people, and added that there was no option but to remove the government. Citing lack of rule of law and growing corruption under the current government, he accused UML of politicizing in every sector. Meanwhile, UML leader Madhav Kumar Nepal has also accused the government of infringement of politics in many sectors. He however said that the parties did not have to rush to bring the vote of no-confidence, but should have made efforts for formation of a consensual government. Discussion on the no-confidence motion brought by Nepali Congress and CPN-Maoist Centre will continue tomorrow as well.
