Aren Rai, chief whip of the Shram Sanskriti Party and a member of the House of Representatives, has warned the government against undermining democracy, federalism, secularism and inclusion after the parliamentary session ended.
Speaking at Thursday’s House of Representatives meeting, Rai questioned the government’s claims of good governance, pointing to cases in which people accused of corruption are sometimes arrested and sometimes released. He cautioned officials against making arbitrary decisions once the session is over.
Rai questions claims of good governance
Rai said inconsistent action in corruption cases raised questions about the government’s commitment to good governance. He warned that decisions taken after the parliamentary session could harm democratic principles and the country’s federal and secular framework.
He urged the government not to take steps that undermine democracy, federalism, secularism or inclusiveness.
