NA members draw government’s attention on contemporary issues
National Assembly members have drawn attention to the government on various contemporary issues, including air safety and the visit visa.
In today’s NA meeting, Krishna Bahadur Rokaya stressed that the government should be serious about technical and policy-level improvement in the aviation sector.
Expressing condolences towards the plane crash in India on Thursday, he pointed out the need to introduce a plan to lessen air accidents in Nepal and implement it.
“A total of 108 aircraft have met with an accident in Nepal so far. A total of 959 people lost their lives in such incidents. The European Union has imposed a ban on all Nepalese Airlines, preventing them from operating in European airspace since 2013 due to our technical, policy-level, and geopolitical weaknesses. I urge the government to resolve all problems of the aviation sector”, he opined.
Similarly, Ghan Shyam Rijal argued that filing a case of cybercrime against a journalist, Dil Bhusahn Pathak, for writing news was against the constitution and press freedom.
He also objected to the move of the Kathmandu District Court issuing an order to Nepal Khabar.com and Bizmandu.com to remove the news related to journalist Pathak and not to write and disseminate news about the issue.
Likewise, Ganga Kumari Belbase demanded the formation of a high-level probe committee to study about visit visa scandal; such a committee was necessary to end policy-level corruption.
Belbase stressed the need for an investigation into the visit visa scandal as the House of Representatives’ business has been obstructed for the past few days over the issue.
