Playing a devious role by supporting the government and claiming the status of the main opposition party in the parliament, the Nepali Congress has created a constitutional question regarding the main opposition party. However, Speaker Dev Raj Ghimire has recognized the NC as the main opposition party.
The Federal Parliament Secretariat has officially recognised the Nepali Congress (NC) as the main opposition party in the House of Representatives.
In a communiqué sent to the office of the NC Parliamentary Party, the Secretariat said that NC Parliamentary Party leader Sher Bahadur Deuba would get perks and benefits as per the regulations entitled to the leader of the main opposition party in parliament.
This letter has ended the confusion as to which party will get the status. After NC voted in favour of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda during the vote of confidence, Prem Suwal of the Majdoor Kisan Party had submitted an application to the parliament secretariat demanding that he should be recognized as the leader of the main opposition party.
