CPN-UML lawmaker Rewatiraman Bhandari has demanded resignation of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs Bimalendra Nidhi saying that the latter is not worthy of holding the position.

Speaking at Legislature-Parliament meeting on Monday, leader Bhandari said that Minister Nidhi has no right to occupy the post as he disrespected the office by snubbing the Cabinet meeting.

“The Home Minister who does not want to attend the Cabinet meeting has no right to occupy the post,” said the UML leader.

Meanwhile, a Cabinet meeting has convened at Singha Durbar in Kathmandu without the participation of DPM Nidhi.  

During the House meeting, another UML lawmaker Satyanaran Mandal demanded action against a group led by Sanghiya Samajbadi Forum leader Dinesh Yadav for misbehaving his family members at his residence in Saptari.

Leader Mandal said that the group had assaulted his 60-year-old mother and 21-year-old daughter-in-law.
