At an event organized to launch a book ‘Parliamentary Committee System: National Assembly Special’ at the Office of the President, Shital Niwas, today, President Bhandari extended her gratitude to NA for showing maturity while enforcing the constitution and for being able to establish its own importance.
Calling for a stronger economy for a robust democracy, Bhandari argued that citizens and concerned authorities should fulfill their responsibilities to build a strong economy.
On a different note, the President said, “The parliament has to run its business considering the best interest of the country. Towards this end, the role of parliamentarians is paramount.”
On the occasion, National Assembly chairperson Ganesh Prasad Timalsina handed over the ‘Parliament Committee System: National Assembly Special’ book. NA Chair Timalsina also gifted various agricultural produces produced by the farmers of Lumbini Province to President Bhandari.
Similarly, National Concern and Coordination Committee President Dil Kumari Rawal Thapa (Parbati) said that parliamentary committees had an important role in making the parliament more effective since the parliament makes the government accountable.
National Assembly secretary and editor of the newly launched book Rajendra Phuyal stated that parliamentary committees were not merely the concept of the system but also an effort to review our own practices.
