MP Ashika Tamang Gets Angry During Parliament Session

Tensions flared inside Nepal’s House of Representatives on Sunday after Prime Minister Balendra Shah left the chamber shortly after responding to lawmakers’ questions, triggering objections from opposition benches and briefly disrupting proceedings.

The sharpest moment came when Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) lawmaker Ashika Tamang became visibly agitated during the exchange. As debate intensified, Tamang rose from her seat and moved toward the front of the chamber, prompting fellow RSP lawmakers to intervene.

Ranju Darshana, Jwala Sangroula and Bhumika Shrestha were among those who tried to calm her and prevent the situation from escalating. As the atmosphere inside the chamber grew increasingly tense, Darshana and Sangroula eventually escorted Tamang out of the hall.

The incident added to an already charged parliamentary session and underscored the strain that has increasingly characterized interactions between the government and opposition parties in recent weeks.

Opposition Objects After Prime Minister Leaves Chamber

Prime Minister Shah had responded to questions raised by lawmakers representing different political parties during the meeting.

Soon after he exited the chamber, opposition lawmakers raised procedural objections and sought to invoke parliamentary rules. The dispute quickly widened as members from the CPN-UML and the Shram Sanskriti Party stood up demanding time to speak.

The Speaker expressed dissatisfaction with the conduct displayed during the session, saying activities inside the chamber had crossed the boundaries of parliamentary decorum.

Speaker Warns Lawmakers Over Conduct and Language

The Speaker specifically objected to the behavior of UML lawmaker Ain Mahar and Shram Sanskriti Party lawmaker Dhruv Rai during the proceedings.

Attention was also drawn to remarks made by Shram Sanskriti Party lawmaker Aaren Rai. The Speaker urged him to exercise caution in the language used inside the House and reminded members of their responsibility to uphold parliamentary standards.

The developments once again exposed the deepening friction among political parties inside Parliament, where procedural disputes and confrontational exchanges have increasingly overshadowed substantive debate. As Sunday’s session showed, even routine parliamentary proceedings can quickly turn into a test of political discipline and institutional restraint.
