Home Minister Sudhan Gurung has stated that the government is fully active in maintaining peace and security across the country.
During today’s National Assembly meeting, Home Minister Gurung answered questions raised by MPs and assured them that Home Ministry is working hard to keep the nation safe.
MPs Urged to Be Sensitive on Serious Matters
The Home Minister urged lawmakers to show sensitivity when raising questions about delicate issues. He asked if repeatedly reminding a victim’s family about the death of their family member brings them any peace.
He explained that a detailed investigation is currently going on, so it is not right to comment publicly on it. He requested members of both House of Representatives and National Assembly to not raising this matter repeatedly. However, he mentioned that they could ask him about it personally.
Home Minister Gurung also said that he did not want to comment on Nirmala Panta case.
Parliamentary Rights and Practices
Lawmaker Bishnu Bahadur Bishwakarma expressed his view on minister’s statement. He said he felt his legislative rights were violated. He reminded everyone that MPs asking questions and ministers answering them is normal part of parliamentary practice.
Coordination Needed for Mental Health
Talking about another topic, Home Minister Gurung emphasized that coordination is needed between federal, provincial, and local governments to handle mental health issues.
“Our country has faced many ups and downs. Because of this, three levels of government are working together to create plans for mental health,” the minister said. He also shared that they are trying to prevent suicide through the 1166 helpline.
