KATHMANDU:- The Nepali Congress has expressed its concern over the government’s move to adjourn the parliament and enact laws through ordinances.

In a statement today, Congress spokesperson Devraj Chalise said that the practice of adjourning the parliament and enacting laws through ordinances is not correct in terms of democratic values, parliamentary dignity and constitutional process.

Spokesperson Chalise said, “The government’s decision is a clear violation of the legislative powers by the executive.” The Congress has stated that choosing the path of ordinances despite having a clear majority in the house is a dangerous sign of centralisation of power.

It has urged the government to remain fully committed to democratic values, parliamentary practices and constitutional dignity, to respect the role and dignity of Parliament, and to immediately reconsider such steps.
