The CPN-UML has warned the government against actions that could weaken the rule of law in Nepal, stating it will strongly oppose any move that restricts citizens’ constitutional rights.
The warning was issued during an all-party meeting held at Singha Durbar on Monday, where UML leaders stressed that all state activities must remain within the boundaries of law. The party emphasized that upholding the rule of law in Nepal is essential for maintaining democratic governance and institutional stability.
Lawmaker Guru Baral said the party is fully committed to ensuring legal compliance and strengthening the legal system. However, he made it clear that any violation of the law or actions that raise questions over the rule of law would be treated as a serious matter. He stated that the party will raise its voice strongly against any such developments.
Baral also cautioned the government against obstructing citizens’ fundamental rights, including political rights, equality, and other freedoms guaranteed by the constitution. He stressed that people must be allowed to exercise these rights freely, warning that UML would protest if any attempt is made to suppress them.
Key Parliamentary Decisions and Committee Formation
The all-party meeting also focused on improving parliamentary procedures, with an agreement to form a 15-member task force to work on amendments to the House of Representatives regulations. The task force will include representatives from all political parties present in Parliament.
In addition, the meeting decided to establish a 21-member Parliamentary Advisory Committee to support the smooth functioning of legislative activities. The formation of these bodies reflects a broader effort to strengthen parliamentary processes while ensuring that governance remains aligned with the rule of law in Nepal.
These steps signal a combined focus on protecting constitutional principles and enhancing legislative efficiency as Parliament moves forward with its agenda.
