Kathmandu, May 8: Lawmaker Amaresh Kumar Singh took off his clothes in parliament protesting over not giving time for him to speak during the ‘urgent time’ in a session of House of Representatives today.
Speaker Devraj Ghimire had said at the beginning of the meeting that time has not been given for ‘urgent time’ today and the House would directly take up its regular agenda. After this, some lawmakers protested this by standing in the meeting.
Lawmaker Singh had also insisted the Speaker that he allowed to speak in the ‘urgent time’, but the Speaker asked him to sit as time has not been given for the ‘urgent time’. At this, Singh took off his shirt in protest.
Singh ultimately sat in his seat after the Speaker repeatedly warned him in accordance with Rule 30 of the House of Representatives Regulations, 2079 saying he was acting against the morality of parliament.
