KATHMANDU, APRIL 2 Lawmakers of the Communist Party of Nepal (UML) drew the government's attention in the first session of the House of Representatives on Thursday, protesting the arrest of party chairman KP Sharma Oli and Nepali Congress leader Ramesh Lekhak. Raising the issue at the outset of the meeting held at the Federal Parliament Building in Singha Durbar, UML lawmaker Guru Prasad Baral demanded the government's clarification over the arrests made on March 28. UML lawmakers stood up in protest during the session, prompting the chair, senior-most member Arjun Narsingh KC, to urge them to take their seats and avoid disruption in the first session of the newly elected House. The House session marks the first sitting following the March 5 parliamentary elections.
