The parties, including the main opposition CPN (UML), protested at the Parliament meeting held on Sunday, saying that President Ram Chandra Paudel had verified the Citizenship Bill through unconstitutional means.
UML, RPP, RSP and Nepal Peasants and Workers Party (NPWP) among others obstructed and shouted slogans at the Parliament meeting held on Sunday.
No sooner Speaker Devraj Ghimire started the Parliament meeting, than the MPs of the opposition party got up from their seats and came out to disrupt the parliament.
Speaking at the meeting, UML chief whip Padam Giri warned that the meeting would not be allowed unless the government brings another bill within a week, making the bill approved by the President invalid.
In the meeting, especially the MPs of UML shouted slogans -- revoke the unconstitutional Citizenship Bill, the country cannot be sold for buffaloes, and down with the controversial statement of the Prime Minister.
Speaker Ghimire adjourned the meeting for one hour after the opposition parties protested against the government's move.
Earlier, the Citizenship Bill, which was inactive after the then President Bidya Devi Bhandari failed to verify it twice, was certified by the incumbent President Paudel on May 31.
The opposition parties protested saying that the President had taken unconstitutional steps by authenticating the bill.
The bill was certified by President Paudel on the day Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda left for India.
Similarly, during his visit to India, Prime Minister Prachanda made a controversial statement that the route to Bangladesh could be taken from the eastern border for the encroached Nepali land Kalapani.
