Kathmandu (Nepal), May 22 (ANI): House Speaker Debraj Ghimire on Tuesday ordered marshals to escort Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda', who went through the well of the parliament, where opposition lawmakers continued their aggressive protests for weeks. On Monday's vote of confidence as well, Speaker Ghimire had ordered marshals to escort Prime Minister and proceeded with the procedure of bundling the protesting opposition lawmakers. Opposition lawmakers on Tuesday had attempted to prevent the Prime Minister from getting across the well, which invited the scuffle. In the recording from the parliament secretariat, the opposition lawmakers are seen attempting to block the way for the Prime Minister to cross the well and reach the rostrum. Opposition Nepal Congress has continued to protest in parliament, demanding the formation of a parliamentary committee to probe the alleged misappropriation of the cooperative funds by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs, Rabi Lamichhane. It has announced not to let the parliament proceed with its schedule anytime soon until the committee is formed with an agreement regarding its Terms of Reference. Home Minister Lamichhane is accused of embezzling large funds of the cooperative when he was the managing director of the Gorkha Media and other people have also been accused of their involvement in such misappropriations.
