Citizenship bill should be table in Parliament again: Chair Oli

22 Jestha, Kathmandu: Leader of the main opposition party, CPN (UML), KP Sharma Oli, has said the citizenship bill should be tabled at the Parliament again. Addressing today’s meeting of the House of Representatives, Chair Oli said the citizenship bill passed by the Parliament and authenticated by the President at the request of the cabinet was not in line with rule and the bill should be tabled before the Parliament again.

He commented that the recent India Visit of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ was not successful. The UML Chair blamed the Prime Minister Dahal of poor performance in recent India visit as no representation of Foreign Ministry was seen in the bilateral talks held with India.

The former Prime Minister Oli suggested that Nepal should not forget Non-Aligned Foreign Policy. It is impossible to think such a thing as heard in the market that attempts were made to resolve border problems on Bangladesh model by giving up territory, he mentioned. Chair Oli shared that the high-level delegation has to put forth all difficulties the country has been facing including land encroachment with its neighbour during the visit.
