Kathmandu: Speaker of the House of Representatives Dol Prasad Aryal has directed lawmakers of the Shram Sanskriti Party, including Hark Sampang, to maintain dignity while protesting inside Parliament.

The Speaker’s instruction came after Shram Sanskriti Party lawmakers displayed pamphlets in front of the parliamentary rostrum during a meeting of the House of Representatives.

Addressing the lawmakers, Speaker Aryal said parliamentary laws and regulations do not permit the display of pamphlets inside the House.

“Our laws and regulations do not allow for showing pamphlets in the House. There are different styles of protesting. I order you to protest with dignity. Now, please protest with dignity,” Speaker Aryal said during the session.

The incident briefly drew attention in the House as lawmakers staged their protest demanding attention to their concerns. However, the Speaker reiterated that protests inside Parliament must remain within the boundaries of parliamentary decorum and established rules.

The Shram Sanskriti Party has recently been raising various issues in Parliament through symbolic protests and demonstrations.
