Speakers Ruling News Today

KATHMANDU, March 1: Speaker Devraj Ghimire made a ruling to the government urging it to address the issues raised by opposition parties by being present in parliament on March 4.

Without naming Uddhav Thackeray, who heads the partys rival faction, he said the order was a "tight slap" on the face of those who ran the party as if it was their private limited company. He was addressing a press conference in his home turf Thane. CM Shinde scored a big political win on Wednesday after Speaker Narwekar held that the Shiv Sena faction led by him was the "real political party" when rival groups emerged in June 2022.

Parliament is discovering how the Speaker will interpret its rules. Today's contention was can he force good answers from ministers, or indeed, any answers.
