Biratnagar-Minister for Communication and Information Technology Prithvi Subba Gurung has expressed the confidence that the obstruction in the House of Representatives will be resolved soon. Talking to media persons at Biratnagar Airport today, Minister Gurung, who is also the government spokesperson,

said that the Civil Service Act and the Education Act will be issued from the current session of the Parliament. The minister argued that it is unreasonable to ask for the resignation of the departmental minister over an employee's mistake, commenting that the opposition parties are obstructing the parliament as retribution.

He was referring to the ongoing stalling of the House of Representatives' regular business by the opposition parties, demanding the resignation of Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak over the visit visa scam. The visit visa scandal is the defrauding by the immigration staff at Tribhuvan International Airport of Nepali citizens going abroad on visit visa.

Minister Gurung stated that it would be inappropriate to comment on the investigation by the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA), saying it is natural for the commission to investigate those who abuse their authority.(RSS)
