Meanwhile, lawmaker Sarita Giri of the Socialist Party asked the Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota for time to register her amendment proposal on the bill, but the speaker rejected it.
Speaker Sapkota, however, stated that her proposal was not in line with Clause 112 (B) of HoR Regulations 2075. So, she could not be allowed to register her amendment proposal. Giri was seeking to register an amendment proposal on the bill stating that Nepal did not have any evidence to claim these territories as her own sovereign territories.
Following the rejection, Giri left the parliament meeting halfway.
