Kathmandu: Law makers have expressed mixed reactions on the Nepal Citizenship (First Amendment) Bill-2079.
During the deliberation on the bill sent back from the President with message in today’s meeting of the House of Representatives, they have expressed their views in favour and against the bill.
They argued that the bill sent back with message should be passed as it is and by forging national consensus. On the occasion, Pradeep Gyawali said the Citizenship Bill should be passed with national consensus not on the basis of headcount. Similarly, Min Bahadur Bishwokarma urged the House to pass the bill today recalling what was said about it yesterday.
Krishna Bhakta Pokharel asked to seek minimum consensus in order to pass the bill while Satya Pahadi urged to endorse the bill by forging national consensus after holding equal discussion on all aspects.
