KATHMANDU, July 2 (Xinhua) -- Members of Parliament (MPs) have criticized top leaders of Nepali ruling Seven Party Alliance (SPA)of submitting to guerrilla demand of dissolving the House of Representatives (HoR) without taking the House into confidence.
Speaking in the House on Sunday taking "special time," MPs affiliated to Nepali Congress, Communist Party Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist, among others, came down heavily upon the SPA leadership and said they had no right to sign on the dissolution of the parliament that was reinstated after the people's movement 2006.
Top leadership of the SPA and guerrilla top leader Prachanda signed on an 8-point agreement in Kathmandu last month agreeing to dissolve the HoR.
Former Prime Minister and president of Rastriya Jana Shakti Party, Surya Bahadur Thapa, said the "eight parties" did not have any right to agree to dissolve the "sovereign" House.
He challenged the SPA leaders to stand before people and clarify their decision.
Members of the House also criticized activities like extortion and threat being continued allegedly by the guerrillas.
The House resumed its proceedings on Sunday after a recess of 17 days. Speaker Subash Chandra Nemwang presided over the session. Enditem
