"There are established procedures to summon and end Parliamentary sessions. Prorogation of house without reaching a decision on important pending bills, and that too without following procedures is unfortunate."

NC, expressing dissent, further stated that ruling party's internal disputes affecting parliamentary procedures, that too at a time when the country is grappling with a global pandemic, is condemnable.

"People's lives or politics for power - which is of prior value?", Party's spokesperson Bishwa Prakash Sharma questioned PM KP Sharma Oli in the statement.
