Lawmakers while airing their views at parliament meeting on Sunday expressed their doubt over the implemention of the 27-point announcement.
CPN-UML Standing Committee member Amrit Bohara applauded the leaderships of the major political parties for joining hands at the time of natural disaster and agreeing on the joint motion. "But everyone's main concern now is whether it will be implemented on time or it will be yet another document gathering dust in government office," said Bohara in the parliament meeting.UCPN (Maoist) leader Agni Sapkota emphasized that the need of hour is to take immediate initiatives to implement the proposal.
Rameshwar Phuyal, Ramhari Khatiwada, Hitraj Pandey and Yashoda Lama were among those who underscored the need of implementing it.
Several other lawmakers said that the proposal was vague and ambiguous and they wanted that the proposal be made more concrete in what it wanted to do.
"Announcement of the resolution motion itself is not enough. It needs to be made more concrete and clear in its plans," said Kamala Dong. "Otherwise, it can't be implemented."
Bhesh Kumari Raut, Surendra Karki, Yashoda Lama, Ramhari Khatiwada, Saraswati Bajimaya and Hitraj Pandey were other lawmakers underscoring the need of making the proposal more concrete.
Chief Whips of two ruling parties Nepali Congress (NC) and CPN-UML and the main opposition UCPN (Maoist) tabled the resolution motion at the parliament meeting on Saturday. It was seconded by leaders from several other political parties.
In the proposal, the political parties have announced plans and programs on providing relief to the victims, rehabilitate them and reconstruct the destroyed buildings and other infrastructures.
